Thanks for posting these weekly updates! It`s amazing weights!
ReplyDeleteSecond that. This is great! Thank you for putting it together every week.
Delete1:47 now if you only saw the quantities moved to the US in CIA planes, you would jump doing back flips like a salta-pa'-tras...problem is getting the franchise...

DeleteThe ensenada hit was a pretty good one. Worth over 8MDollars in the US side, but the pushers maybe didn't even pay half a million for it, who the hell isn't gona get powerful like that? Easy. Easy. Money. For those cartel goons. Screw that. Whos cartel did it belong to?? ...
ReplyDeleteForgettabouit, the amazing thing is the millions of pesos, I am sure the american customers do not pay pesos for their shit, there must be some currency exchange specialists involved...
DeleteSome body would RPG those facking planes, if they had the chance no doubt bout it...
ReplyDeleteObviously you don't have a clue about weaponry. A .50 cal is just as effective and low cost in the downing of any aircraft. - El Soldado Perdido
DeleteI thought 62 pounds of cocaine was worth more than $500 thousand on the us side.
ReplyDeleteIt is but the source didn't say worth half a mil street value. We have had discussions on this before, and if the drugs are busted before they get into the hands of dealers, what has been lost is , the cost of the drugs, piso payment to get the load through, fuel, wages, bribes.
DeleteIf it was bought by Mex cartel in Colombia they paid maybe 2500 us dollars per key, that's 157,000 dollars for the drugs, plus 50,000 for fuel wages etc, another 150k in piso, all totalled they lost in the region of 350 k not 500k.
if you take into account, they don't know what price was paid for the load, or what route it took to get to the air ambulance, 500k is a shot in the dark. As is any evaluation. Only they know how much they lost.
Ok, what is the value of the plane?
DeleteSecond hand in the region of tens of millions of dollars. But the plane was a normal scheduled medical flight, they might not have known or have met the patient before the flight. If they had a medical referral they probably would have allowed him or his representatives to book the flight.
DeleteDamn, those air ambulances are so smart, they cover all the bases, Thanks otis maybe next time, I need some "AIR ambulances..."
DeleteAtentamente: EL CHAPO
That plane with drugs and cancer patient got a fucked up flight plan! Lol no wonder he got caught. Come on stopover in Tx before heading to NY?
ReplyDeleteOn a private flight like that learjet you must stop and clear customs at the nearest airport that has customs.Its a totally different customs that regular passengers go through.About 3 of them come out to the tarmac to meet you before you are cleared for takeoff.You don't even enter the terminal.That other bust in Ensenada with the Cessna 206 I wonder if it ever got airborne with that mud.That would have been a tough takeoff sliding all over.
DeleteIt started the rain after the plane was bust.
Deletecannadiana, you must have moved a few tons back in the day, right?
DeleteI ain't getting in no damn plane, no way josé
@12;22 was offered before but no thanks,I value my freedom too much over $.As long I have a roof over my head and food in my belly and a little holiday once in awhile Im happy besides the best things in life are FREE ie;love respect friendship and precious memories.$ never been that much a priority for me.Happiness-yes.That old saying:'$ is the root of all evil' sure rings true bigtime on the stories on this website.I know rich people that are very unhappy so really whats more important unless the bills don't get paid but excessive $ Nah.
DeleteI like that part about the free love, and am looking for a place to stay, for winter is coming, i'll buy you a snow shovel canadiana, how's about that?
DeleteWe can borrow some $$ from your ma' and pá for the two way tickets.
Damn Mexicans be pushing heavy weight of drugs!!!
