Homebrew submarine packed with cocaine
Four individuals were busted off Costa Rica's Pacific coast smuggling 3 tons of cocaine in a DIY submarine. According to the Associated Press, the vessel floated along at 7 miles per hour at a depth of six feet. The giveaway were three pipes, apparently used to provide oxygen to the passengers, moving along the surface of the water.
