$270 million worth of cocaine found on Air France flight
(CNN) -- There was something odd about the 30 suitcases that showed up on a flight from Venezuela. The colorful bags weren't registered to any of the passengers on the plane. When French officials opened them up, they discovered why -- 1.3 tons of pure cocaine were stuffed inside the anonymous bags. (www.cnn.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Shoot, they got half of my shipment.
Bummer, and where was the company employee who was supposed to reroute those bags to the buyer. Sum ting wong.
Somebody and their family is already dead over this...
... and more to follow.
A planeload of passengers sitting over 1.3 tons of cocaine the whole way across the Atlantic. Talk about flying high on cocaine.
The put it on the wrong plane. It was supposed to go elsewhere. Someone is going to face disciplinary action for the mistake.
Maybe the cartel won't notice?

Does anyone check the facts of the story? 1.3 Tons in 30 suitcases is 87 lbs each. Loadmaster is not going to let that happen. The French put a value of 270 million on the shipment. That crap sells for 20K per kilo in Los Angeles. Total value is $ 23.6 million. If you want wholesale, It is about $ 1,800/ kilo in Columbia or a paltry $ 2.1 million for the whole enchilada. Looks like they will need to work a half day Saturday to replace this.
