Watch the US Coast Guard board a narco-sub carrying more than 17,000 pounds of cocaine. The intercept took place a few weeks ago in the East Pacific Ocean.
The event, a video of which was released on July 11, took place on June 18 in the East Pacific Ocean. In the minute-long video, a member of the Coast Guard is heard yelling at a semi-submersible vessel tearing through the ocean -- a half underwater and half exposed vessel -- and demanding it stop. Members of the guard then jump on the submarine-like boat, eventually forcing the top open to reveal the smugglers inside.
The smugglers could also be armed.It's not easy, and the Coast Guard only stops an estimated 11 percent of the vessels that pass through the East Pacific -- an area Brickey said was about the size of the entire US. The Coast Guard, he said say, is tasked with patrolling the area with the equivalent of two police cars.
