Drug smugglers use 60'-0" submarines to smuggle drugs. The boats are nicknamed "Columbian Coffins" which I assume is a knock off of "Iron Coffins".

Well just thought it would be of interest to the submarine nuts around here.

Oh well if Fox produces it it must be hyperbole I guess.

No, it is just old news.

We even had at least four threads on this.
