Authorities in El Salvador released video of a burning pile of cocaine worth eight figures as the country continues its crackdown on gangs and drug traffickers.

The cocaine was seized on May 10 from seven men in boats roughly 1,630 kilometers (about 1,012 miles) off the country’s coast, according to local authorities.

They were identified as two Ecuadorian nationals, two Colombian nationals and three Mexican nationals.

The 2.7 tons of confiscated cocaine was worth $67.5 million, Salvadoran police said.

Just how fricking far from their coast do they control?

Dammit. I guess I'm just down to the hookers at this point.

How far away from our coasts do you think the coast guard stops doing coast guard stuff?

No idea, 1,000 miles is a long damn way. I’d assume they aren’t patrolling the middle of the Atlantic but could be wrong.

Where did El Salvador find non-corrupt law enforcement?

The new Pres investigated all Gov officials after he locked up all of the gang members. Its now one of the safest countries in the world

I'm guessing they were tipped off about a shipment and intercepted it.

Probably one cartel looking to punish their competition.

They only burned $67 mil worth. That's probably not even half of what they seized.

The only thing the metric system is good for is drugs. And the one time the media doesn't use the metric system is in an article about drugs.

No chance it all burned.

If I were a betting man, I’d bet less than half actually burned.

Exactly. El Salvador at its widest is 160 miles wide. 1,000 miles is about as wide as the Gulf of Mexico. That’s a long damn way out there.
