Det ser ut som att en av knarkbåtarna har hittats på havsbottnen.
Det fanns 377 paket ombord med totalt 1000 kg kokain i.
Båten sjönk 80 distansminuter, 150 km söder om kusten på Dominikanska Republiken:

Dominican Republic recovers 1,000 kilograms of cocaine from speedboat destroyed by US Navy
The Dominican Republic’s drug control agency said Sunday it had recovered 1,000 kilograms of cocaine from a speedboat destroyed by the US Navy as the Trump administration continues a controversial anti-narcotics mission in the Caribbean that has sunk three vessels and killed more than a dozen people since August. Human Rights groups have denounced the strikes as extra judicial killings.

Authorities in the Dominican Republic said Sunday they have confiscated some of the cocaine transported by a speedboat that was destroyed recently by the US Navy, as the Trump administration carries out a controversial anti-narcotics mission in the southern Caribbean.
In a press conference, the Dominican Republic’s National Directorate for Drug Control said it recovered 377 packages of cocaine from the boat which was allegedly carrying 1,000 kilograms of the drug.
Officials said the boat was destroyed about 80 nautical miles south of Isla Beata, a small island that belongs to the Dominican Republic. They said the Dominican Republic Navy worked in conjunction with US authorities to locate the speedboat which was allegedly trying to dock in the Dominican Republic and use the nation as a “bridge” to transport cocaine to the United States.

Ibland så händer det dock att dessa knarkbåtar exploderar av sig själva.
De har hela 500-1000 liter bensin ombord och då och då så exploderar deras bensintankar.
I regel på grund av läckor.
Dessa 11 personer blev sk Darwin Awards...
Båten hade 4 rejäla utbordarmotorer, och de kostar visst sammanlagt cirka 100 000 dollar,
så det är knappast några vanliga "fritidsfiskare AKA gäddmetare" som strök med.
Antagligen så försökte väl US Navy stoppa båten tidigare, tex med att anropa den på VHF, med högtalare, slutligen en serie varningsskott. Då ska båten stanna och invänta Kustbevakningen och inspektion.
Det är väl fullt möjligt att Dominikanska Republiken gett USA eldtillstånd, för det måste vara mycket påfrestande för det lilla ölandet med så pass stor handel med droger som sker på deras kuster.
Youtubern Sal hade en intressant vinkling i att dessa båtar har i regel inte så lång räckvidd innan
bensinen är slut. Så de måste hitta någon ö som de kan tanka upp ny bensin på.
Det är alldeles för lång sträcka från kusten på Venezuela till USAs kuster.
Att det klarar man inte på en tankning inte.
