"Duarte said authorities were still counting and weighing the packages and the amount could increase. He said the drugs would be incinerated immediately after the weighing and counting is completed."

I hope they finish counting and weighing before the wind changes....

So what do you guys think it costs these guys to grow and ship 105 tons of weed to the border? I'm guessing it can't be more than say $500,000 most of it going to pay off officials and cops ect. My guess is they probably tipped the Mexican Federales off themselves so they could haul another 105 tons across while the feds where smiling for the press and patting themselves on the back. $339.5 millions is a pretty good payday, you know.

Used to load trucks with feed to pay for college, I think it was 22-23 tons for a 40 ft trailer to stay under weight but it's been 20 years. So yeah, about 4 and 1/2 trucks. I'm sure they have other ways to cross the border though, they didn't haul 105 tons there just to store it LOL.

We ship a lotta steel. Max weight on flatbeds without a permit is right at 20 tons unless you have an aluminum trailer then you can get around 21 tons

105 tons is a lot, but that kind of load comes through on a daily basis. Losing one is not a big deal to them. The drug enforcement people around central america catch that much on a weekly basis coming from south america to north.

For example, poor farmers in places like peru grow coca leaves and sell it to cartels for pennies. Drug cartels pay people to process the coca leaves into cocaine for pennies. The cartels pay people pennies to transport the drugs. So when a large shipment is confiscated, it does not cost the cartels too mcuh money

I don't have cable so I don't watch the Nat Geo channel.

If you read the newspapers from the central american countries you would see just how many huge shipments are caught each week. If 50% of the total shipments are confiscated each week, that leaves hundreds of tons of various narcotics getting through.

Some low level guys will likely get blamed and killed over that but the guys in charge won't even notice it. Seriously, that's like walmart closing one of its stores for an hour to do some maintenance. Rounding error at the end of the day with how much they produce.

And like Kmid514 said, it is sometimes done on purpose. They pay off the cops and feds, but in return they have to let them catch something so they will get re-elected and people will see how their tax money is well spent on "catching the criminals". Could have been a bad batch with mold on it or something for all we know.
