Raw Video: US Coast Guard intercepts drug running submarine

[mgibbs88]

Must increase the cost of drugs due to cost of building these things. I have no respect for the drug runners but my can they be innovative when they think of ways of getting past our security.

[mauidiggy]

Who made the comment that the USCG is so underfunded by the DOD?? You're clearly a moron. First of all the CG is part of the dept of Homeland Security... the only military branch that is. They have more funding, assests, and technology that u can possible imagine. Being a USCG vet and ex-boarding officer... I can tell u, they are super-well equipped and have technology that is extremely classified. They are cutting edge. The problem is... people don't know, or care. How about a little respect!

[Superfireguitar]

@mauidiggy my roomate just got home from the horn of africa coast of aden yesterday- USCG... I am just spending the afternoon with a whole new respect for him and what you all do for our country.. it is incredible the unexpected deployments he has to go through for my safety and the safety of ppl in other countries as well.. God Bless USCG may you all past present and future be kept in His will

[TakeBackFreedom]

DIVE!DIVE!DIVE!DIVE!

Caught

[cochranexyz]

Drug users and dealers in the US and canada should be killed. That would stop the flow. For a time, anyway.

[Justin5258794]

thats cool they should of shot them though

[examinationboard]

it's amazing how they just dump these million dollar semi subs after just one trip

[revengeracer1]

@examinationboard goes to show the value of the shipment

[rugg64039]

i want 1!!!

[slafkec]

machine gun the damn thing! sink those fuckers!

[Wiggling]

they better stop.... or uscg will beat the crap out of those basterds

[SciFientology]

I'll have 8 grams please... thanks!

[al3cuvl99]

That is fast for an improvised semi sub made in the midle of nowhere with no electricity , with a few people that dont know how to count and with shop tools :|

[kurnellampdwarf]

Damn Narcosubs. They get pretty clever.

[SugarSigur]

Listen to them screaming at the person in the boat like regular ole cops...and as if the fucking guy can hear them. "COAST GUARD!!! GET DOWN ON THE GROUND...AW, FUCK! IMEAN, UH GET OUTTA THE OCEAN!"

[Evadex87]

@SugarSigur okay, we'll let you run this, how about we toss them a cellphone instead?

[virginmobile328]

@SugarSigur

Like regular ole cops you fuckin idiot? You realize anyone ranked over E4 can make arrests in the coast guard? USCG is of a higher caliber than 'regular old cops' 

[actonbath]

Cocain burrito.

[chainlinkdreams]

@actonbath hell yeah!!



[lavolvo]

The pilot rides on top? Makes me think about the italian human torpedoes...

[narutofightindreamer]

The poor U.S. Coast Guard is always so underfunded and equipped it's a tragedy. The bloody doggone DOD treats them like a Red-Headed Stepchild!! They need at least twice the boat's, large and small to actively overcome what we're seeing here. As well as for Search and Rescue Missions. They need to reopen a few of their stations that've been closed over the years. Most notably "Stockton, CA". The damn gang member's have been running their coke, heroin, and meth by boat up the California Delta!

[adcenterbaka]

exciting!

[sparklerbombg]

can u become a law enforcement agent in the USCG but still take classes in learning electricity?

what I mean is is can u do both?

just wondering.

[iwineverytime88]

sink that fucker then just speed away it's not like they are going to get away there miles away from land i bet. besides the police can just come back in an hour and recover the cocaine from the bottom of the sea.

[PacisTerra]

Contract with the Japanese whalers...they'll take care of that boat. LOL.

They don't play around like gringos.

[welcomegohome]

just shoot some holes in it, follow em til they sink and drive off if the crew try to escape. i dunno why they let them live.

[Kryomagnet]

Do you realize what lengths people will go to to recover millions of dollars worth of cargo at the bottom of the sea, especially if said sea is comfortably deep enough to SCUBA dive to the bottom in?

That is why the ones that benefit from the actual sinking would only be the traffickers themselves.

[holiday12345ABC]

If you look closly at the patch on the one coastie he's from pactaclets and there some bad ass dudes Semper P Boys

[JetblackSYN]

I think that one guy meant the CG doesn't have SONAR...

[nighthawk006]

These would make good target practice for a couple of GE miniguns.

[cochranexyz]

Can't you just riddle the damn thing with bullets? Take out the people with it as well?

[swedishvolvo]

They had a fleet of 42! Yet none of them can even dive completely under the water thats pretty lame.

[a10064]

uhh nice! but my profile has better stuff! chck it out! q

[guitarguy950]

why didnt the sub just dive?

[panzermacher]

Because they are what's termed semi-Submersibles, they can't dive, they have a very low free board, just skimming beneath the surface, they are usually made from fiberglass, with a lead cap over the engine compartment to hide the heat signature.

[Ahmidsviper]

how you know all of this?

[panzermacher]

Because you don't have to be a rocket scientist to do 5 minutes of research on the net.

[doperthanmusic]

AWESOME!!!!

[sugarpuddin88]

That hardly qualifies as a SUBmarine

[tacyy]

the coast guard doesnt have radar? i dont know what coast guard your talking about but my coast guard does

[kingquality]

Fuckin' genius ! The War-On-Drugs is futiLe !

[Ayla8711]

My recruiter told me about this. Drug runners are now using submarines because the USCG doesn't have radar, and they're virtually undetectable unless you pass over one in a helocopter.

[mondobabo]

whoa, USCG doesn't have RADAR? What planet are you on? They have EVERY electronic detection/observasion device known to man kind! I hope the guy was recruiting for another country...lol hahahahahahaha!

[Ayla8711]

Chill dude, I'm just telling you what he said. And considering he was an E-7 with 20 years under his belt, I was inclined to believe him. Take it up with him.

[AScann3rDarkly]

USCG uses radar.

Even cruise ships and pirates use radar.

[Ayla8711]

Take it up with my recruiter dude, he's the one who said it first, and he's been in 20 years.

[AScann3rDarkly]

There's just no way a senior NCO with 20 years under his belt is still sitting at the recruiting desk and talking to teenagers. And there's no way he's a senior NCO if he hasn't even seen a boat. Search google images for "USCG Hamilton", zoom in on the second picture, you can clearly see the radar dish and antennae on top of the bridge.

[Ayla8711]

I'm just telling you what he told me. He was in for 20 years, a recruiter for the past three and he was an E-7. In fact he just retired last month.

If it makes you feel any better, I stopped seeing him a couple months before he retired. I'm now looking into other branches of the military. Nothing against the USCG, I just want to work in the medical field.

[jbmcbean]

@Ayla8711 I think you might have meant that they don't generally use sonar.

[Ayla8711]

@jbmcbean -- you replied to a two year old comment just to tell me that?

[AvidEditor08]

They make em out of fiberglass at a cost of $1,000,000. Not bad when you consider it can carry $300,000,000 worth of cocaine.

[evildeathmonkey1]

@AvidEditor08 a million dollars for a piece of fibreglass? I think the cartels got ripped off dude.

[xluisle]

@evildeathmonkey1 FOR THEM THATS NOTHING DUDE...

[503Productz]

@evildeathmonkey1 Those submarines can carry over 300 million US dollars worth of cocaine

[CoolOnXBL]

@503Productz I bet it was probably all for Charlie Sheen.

[GreenDesert]

Shit! Since when did Drug Lords get fucking submarines?!?

[86Timewarp]

they are made in the Northwestern tip of soutn America in Swamps
