I think this is the right place to post this. If anyone here has not checked out Vice Magazines online tv site http://www.vbs.tv I highly recommend it.

"Like a Latin American Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote, except with millions of dollars and people's lives hanging in the balance, narco-traffickers and the DEA have been locked in an ongoing chase scene carried out in a parade of increasingly ludicrous homemade drug-smuggling vehicles.

In the 80s it was small low-flying planes and secret landing strips. As radar technology improved the cartels switched to superpowered ships that somebody let a kindergarten class name "go-fast boats." Every time the Feds get hep to the latest conveyance the smugglers head back to the drawing board, making the boats smaller and less detectable, then semi-submersible, and finally developing full-on submarines from old torpedo shells in the middle of the South American jungle. In this edition of Motherboard, we travel to Colombia to chat with the navy's drug squad and a former trafficker about what kwazy konveyances are bringing us our drugs these days. Of course, given that this is what the authorities have already discovered, God only knows what those scamps have gotten up to in the interim."
 
I watched the show, it was cool and all... but i thought it was kinda lame....

They where not subs... they where "Part Sub" which pretty much means they where never able to under fully underwater... I want to see the REAL subs that go under water... that is the ones they don't find... ;)
 
Lots of biology under that water, and lots of parasites. I bet it's a bitch to keep things from getting in and ruining some of the cocaine. If I were the cartels I'd pepper the cargo with something to keep the creepy crawlers out. Like what's that stuff people give to fish so that they don't get worms?
 
Vbs.tv fucking owns. Shane Smith is the shit. His Liberia documentary is insaaaaane.
