Mini sub carrying 5.5 TONS of cocaine intercepted off TX coast...

A mini-submarine carrying $200 million worth of cocaine was intercepted by authorities in the 'Eastern Pacific Ocean'.

Officials said they intercepted the semi-submersible vessel attempting to bring 12,800 pounds or 5.5 tons of cocaine into the US.

The cocaine was on a mini-sub called a narco-submarine, vessels made of fiberglass that are extremely hard to detect using radar and are commonly used by drug traffickers.

If it was found off the TX coast, it will be the first one ever.

All the rest were found in the East Pac.

I'm guessing an intel someone was on auto pilot and defaulted to East Pac when announcing the seizure.

Have lived in Texas all my life and have been to the Gulf of Mexico. I had no clue the Pacific came anywhere close to Texas. Last I heard it was way west on the west coast of the US and down to South America passing Mexico on the way. Have I been lied to my entire life and the Pacific actually does come all the way to Texas?


ETA: Figured out why they said Pacific and Texas it is an article from some idiot in the UK.

Barely submersible.

If I had a submarine, I wouldn't be running drugs.  I'd do underwater tours off coastal resorts for tourists.
