How do you make a boat chase even cooler? Add a helicopter! These drug smugglers were detected before they even made land, and the result was the Coast Guard opening fire on the speedboat. Helicopter fire (yes, you heard right, helicopter fire) ended up disabling the boat’s engine and eventually getting all of the suspects off. Then, for some reason, they light the boat on fire and shoot at it some more, just for the hell of it? I have no idea what goes through the minds of the Coast Guard, but I’m certainly not complaining — flaming sinking boats are awesome. The second chase shows a nighttime drug bust, which isn’t quite as dramatic, mostly because it was a simple catch and wrap up … and also because it was weed instead of cocaine, which is much less intoxicating … exciting, I meant to say exciting.
