The U.S. Coast Guard released a video Thursday showing a dramatic, high-speed ocean chase that ended with the capture of a purpose-built semi-submersible -- or submarine -- allegedly carrying a large sum of cocaine.
The chase and seizure took place in international waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean June 18.
The video shows one crewman pounding on the hatch of the boat until a man inside throws it open, apparently giving himself up.
The Coast Guard says more than 39,000 pounds of cocaine and 933 pounds of marijuana worth a combined estimated $569 million have been seized in 14 separate suspected drug smuggling interdictions along the coast of Mexico between May and July.
