Submarine found 2,250 meters above sea level
2005-12-22
Police in Colombia say they have found a half-built submarine in a warehouse in a suburb of the capital Bogota 2,250 metres above sea level. Police chief General Luis Ernesto Gilibert said Russian documents were found alongside the partially-completed vessel.

He said the 30 metre (100ft) vessel would have been capable of carrying huge quantities of cocaine or heroin. He speculated that, once completed, the submarine would have been disassembled and taken by lorry to to Colombia’s Pacific or Caribbean coast.
So they're going to assemble it in Bogota, and then disassemble it and take it to the coast ... o-o-o-kay.
When police raided the warehouse in the suburb of Facatativa they found the building equipped with closed-circuit cameras but devoid of people.

Instead there was the startling sight of a sophisticated submarine under construction. “It was between 30% and 40% complete and had its engine room ready,” General Gilibert said. “The technology is advanced and the workmanship of high quality.”
