The US navy has released footage showing the dramatic reaction of a crew of a luxury yacht smuggling drugs when it realised it had been discovered.
The Mexican-flagged vessel was intercepted by the US navy some 700km (435 miles) off the Mexican coast.
The crew began hurling bundles of cocaine overboard, set fire to the boat and then jumped into the sea.
The Mexican navy managed to recover some of the drugs packages, seizing a total of about half a tonne of cocaine. Four men have been arrested by Mexican authorities and face drugs-related charges.
