Witnessed El Chapo land last night

[CraKaJaX]

I live about ~2 miles from McArthur. The sound of planes and all that overhead is normal. However, last night at about 730 I hear something that sounds ...... different. I ran out onto my balcony to see a group of like 6-7 blackhawks fly RIGHT over my apartment. They were just above the trees. It was incredible. Unfortunately it went way too fast for pictures, but holy hell it's something I won't forget. About 30 minutes later I hear them in the distance, so I ran back out again thinking they'd be flying over again ... but noticed they were way out near the airport circling the area. I went online but couldn't find anything about it at the time. I noticed there were zero planes coming in or leaving, so something was obviously up. At about 930 or so, I saw a shit ton of the blinking beacon lights coming in from a distance. A plane? A train??? WAT IS IT?!!!! At the same time I saw them coming in, the choppers turned on their spotlights.... which I still don't quite understand, but whatever. I find out this morning that it was Mr. El Chapo coming in for a landing. They landed him out on the island at the smaller airport so they could shut it down (rather than deal with JFK, LGA traffic). I had a chance to score the largest quantity of the best quality blow ever and missed out on the opportunity. Please forgive me ATOT.

How would that have worked under that kind of guard? Like, a quick ass-to-ass transfer that no one notices?

Yes. Or maybe I could just shave his mustache off and snort that for a decent buzz?

Sounds like quite the airshow. And I love me a good airshow!

The spotlights may have been for if he ran or if somebody tried to help him escape.

would seem overkill to me but I have no idea how powerful the cartels are in the US.

With the kind of money and resources he commanded there is no such thing as overkill. He could probably offer a billion dollar reward to spring his ass and he's already escaped twice.
