Here's What Over 26 Tonnes Of Cocaine Looks Like

Some things are infinitely more interesting than others in life. No one really cares about Trump's administration, but they do care about what two billion dollars' worth of cocaine looks like.

It weighs about 26.5 tonnes, and it's enough to cover the entire flight deck of the 418-foot Coast Guard Cutter Hamilton, meaning you could literally get lost in a big pile of blow.

US Coast Guard and Royal Canadian Navy seized the party fuel and apprehended 100 suspected drug smugglers, according to CNN.

"We had a couple of scenarios where we used warning shots and disabling fire on the engines," said Lieutenant Morgal Fowler. "We shot the engines out."

Unloaded in Port Everglades, Florida, on Thursday, the large amount of Charlie was a collection of 27 intercepted shipments over the course of 10 weeks.

Such a shame for a number of drug dealers who now have to rely on other things such as weed, MDMA, heroin and crystal meth to provide money for Christmas.
