Submarine Drug Bust

>
AOL news always has the most interesting topics. I was shocked when I logged on at the site of a homemade submarine that has been carrying drugs between Central America and the U.S. Apparently, the U.S Navy led Mexican forces to capture the submarine off Oaxaca's coast. The floating drug sub was 30 feet long, equipped with a GPS system, and a compass. Four Colombian "fisherman" on the sub were arrested. The sub was full of cocaine. U.S. officials say traffickers use the vessels to carry about 32 percent of the cocaine moved by water from South America to the U.S. Apparently, many of these subs can carry 10 tons of cocaine and can be controlled by a remote control miles away. What is this world coming to?
