This is why i got no sleep in late 90s in HighSchool. Ironically this mentions Knoxville TN also where I started as a paramedic in 2005 😂 I know and and have worked countless scenes with these guys. Lol
The crazy thing that they don't even mention in this film, is that the sniper who killed the federal judge is Charles Harrelson, famous actor Woody Harrelsons father. There's a whole podcast series about it.
If I found all that cocaine & no one else was around, calling the cops would be the last thing on my mind.... Respect towards the integrity of the Georgia ranger
Best crime story ever. Betrayal, loyalty, and not your typical open and shut case where you knew the husband or wife did it. This one was shrouded in mystery
no trafficing -- no drug smugling without the cops themselves being a party ------ crazy long winded story that just shows how hand in glove the authorities are with these smuglers !!!
The Devil tempts the best. Corruption in the law only exists because criminals do everything to elicit . Criminals need someone to turn the eye. They would do whatever needed. Treath, pointing out the economical advantages, kidnaping children, treath lives of love ones and kill, of course. A procecuter was killed for his integrity. If you are good you face hard times. To put all of thus people that make their life work to establish justice in just one bag called corruption is like stabing oneselve in the hart.
I just watched a case of a missing girl w/ cctv footage of her appearing drugged. Sloppy detective work leads me to believe they are part of the trafficking organization.
Lucy believe me......YOU WOULDN'T. The last thing that will be on your mind in cases like this is TO HEAD TOWARDS THE BODY LYING THERE. Your mind would run like........."maybe there's some sniper praying on the neighborhood". For sure you're prime instinct in cases like this is: CALL THE COPS. Actually the voice of the girl calling her dad to 'something strange lying there in the driveway' was PRETTY ACCURATE!!!
It's very difficult to hide a wrong doing to the authority, especially drugs. You will be successful for so many times, but once you're caught, you're done.
Lol, how could you possibly know that??? Cause all the shows people are caught>?? And the other end of it??? You just guessing lol More people who sell drugs dont get caught....BY A LANDSLIDE.
Of really? Did you know these guys had direct CIA connections? Only reason they got brought to justice is because a guy literally landed dead on someone's driveway lol. They weren't going to be caught. Now they are trying to say he was thrown out of the plane on purpose to let him be the fall guy.
when they turn up the heat the criminals turn on each other, drug dealers and law enforcement are 2 sides of the same coin, they should make this into a movie
What the skydiver had in his hand is the ripcord of the reserve, and you say the emergency chute opened on its own. At low altitudes you go directly for the reserve which is (or used to be in 1985) round (Paracomander). A round chute also makes more sense at night since you can’t see it’s better to fall straight down as opposed to forward (advancing) which is what the main chute does.
The main had been opened and released. The riser attachment rings were empty and the cutaway cables were hanging free. The story I heard was that he had calculated how much he could carry based on the size of his main (but not his reserve). Supposedly he had a malfunctioned main, and cut away to his reserve, which was inadequate for his total weight (himself, his gear and his loot). Had his main not malfunctioned, he would likely have made it 2 weeks later a Cessna 208 Caravan crashed on takeoff, killing Dave "Cowboy" Williams, the pilot/owner and known associate of Thornton. 15 jumpers also lost their lives in the crash. The cause was "fuel contamination", but most people in the community think it was sabotage. I met Thornton once at a small Kentucky DZ when I was a fledgling skydiver. Scary guy. Not much later I moved to Houston and heard from back home that he was dead. Guy had a bad reputation that preceded him.
@@tuttt99 possibly with the drugs being much lighter than him seems the wind would be catching the bag and spinning him all over out of control. I bet he was fighting all the way soon as he jumped. probably never really had a controlled dive.
I'll add some random comments because...why not? 1) You can find at least one internet article that states Drew died because his chute did not open, but both the investigator and the police report (which you can find on the internet) say his emergency chute did open. Drew's Wikipedia article says he died from freefall. 2) Commenter @DurAble says the second coin at 8:20 is a Norwegian 10 kroner. The third coin looks Austrian. The gold coins are in fact krugerrands....or else accurate props of such. 3) Several commenters have pointed out inconsistencies with the plane. My opinion is...yep. The real plane that Drew jumped out of was a Cessna 404 Titan which is a low wing, twin engine aircraft with retractable landing gear. The cutscene at 0:08 shows a high-wing with fixed landing gear. The rest of the cutscenes that are clear enough to show the plane type are of a Beech B90 King Air...similar to a Titan but not the same. The King Air can be verified using the registration number shown at 48:51. 4) The wreck they show at 16:10 is probably a salvage wreck that the show bought (or borrowed) from a salvager and used as a prop. It looks nothing like the wreck shown at 17:26 which looks like it might be actual footage of the crash site. 5) The more I look at the wreck scene, the more gaffs I see. For one, the tail number N8664Z belongs to a Cessna P206C which is a high-wing single engine aircraft (you can see the real plane at 0:40). The wreck is of a low-wing twin engine...you can see where the wing placement was at 18:22. The comment made by @mokiloke (dashboard looks like a cardboard cutout) is not far wrong. When an aircraft is salvaged, one of the first things that's done is to remove all the high value parts for resale, such as the instruments (the meters and gauges). Since replacing them for this scene would have cost literally tens of thousands of dollars, the show simply drew some dials on paper and put them where the instrument holes are. Its kinda comical. Also, when an aircraft crashes at speed in a forest, you can pretty much bet that you won't find one of the wings casually draped on top of the fuselage like you see at 18:13. 6) The show gives the name of the slain judge as John Drews (Druse? Druz?). It was actually John H. Wood, and there is a Wikipedia article about him. Interesting side note: His killer, Charles Harrelson, was the father of actor Woody Harrelson who was famous as bartender Woody in the American sitcom Cheers. 7) Another interesting side note: A few months after Drew made his jump, a black bear was found dead in Georgia. Cause of death? Cocaine ingestion. Cocaine Bear, Lexington, Kentucky (roadsideamerica.com) 8) At 1:06:22, the narrator says "...even semi-automatic M-2 carbines" as if that's a big deal. For one thing, an M-2 is not a semi-automatic...its a select-fire (that means it can be set to fire like a machine gun). and, I would also say that finding soviet machine guns and an anti-tank weapon would be much more deserving of the "even" emphasizer. 8) Yet another interesting sidenote: The plane that this show seems to have rented for many of the aircraft scenes, is a King Air owned by...somebody. Depending on when this show was made, it was either Win Win Aviation (who seems to no longer be in business) or NBBS, LLC who I can find no info on. I guess this should not be surprising since, back in the 1970s, that registration number was assigned to a Beech-18 owned by Air America (a private airline connected to the CIA). 8-)
How are You awere of all of these (FACTS?)ARE You aFederal agente of some Kindle. OR just well researched on thrse series of events? 1:15:32 1:15:33 eventos? Im not knocking You.Your lnowledhe intrgues Me
@@KevinGardnerSr Just normal internet searching. My comment was made 2 years ago, so naturally I can't say if the internet webpages that I visited are still there, but... 1) You can find articles on Drew by simply doing a search on his name. 2) You can find what Krugerrands look like by searching them and looking at the pictures. 8-) 3) You can find info on planes by, again, reading articles on Drew (at least one of which mentions the plane he was using), and looking up tail numbers on at the FAA website, and by simply looking at the TH-cam video. 4) Several of my comments are not facts. They are opinions, and I believe I made that clear in the wording I used. 5) I've never worked for the Feds (unless you count military service), but I did work at a flight school for a few years. 6) I did not comment on the stuff at 1:15:33. My comments are mostly about the quality of this video, i.e. props and cutscenes that were put in this video that are not accurate. Sorta like when you watch some of the older WW2 movies where the movie tries to show German tanks but in fact those tanks are simply American tanks with German markings...presumably because the movie production company could not afford to hire actual WW2 German tanks.
🤔 When i saw the small militia training i remember i recentely saw a movie ( wich i don't remember the name) About a guy that was working with the CIA as an informant and smuggled cocaine from Colombia and had a small fleet of planes but got greedy, Don't know if that story is related 🤔
@@gabrielalvarez9570 You might be referring to Barry Seal. He worked mostly with DEA although the CIA was somewhat involved, I think. He was a drug smuggler that got caught and turned informant. Years later, he was assassinated by a cartel. There is a Wikipedia article on him. And yes, there has been a movie or two about him.
The narrator revealed that Barclay's gang was a close knit group. However, after eventually being captured, nearly all of them squealed on each other. Truly there is no honor among thieves! ...Some things never change.
i got caught for 3816 plants .. in australia ... i saved both my brother and best friend when we were caught .. i told them when we started that if we got caught id take the blame and i did ... got by best friend of by saying he was just a driver for the night and didnt know what it was about .. and i got my brother half my sentence coz i said he was just trying to help me raise my family and didnt want to do it .... there is honour among some thieves ... if i love you i do my own jail .. i wont let you do it for me

Watching while positive with covid somerset uk, thanks for the message was nice to see. P. S very mild symptoms but please everyone keep to lock down rules. Interesting video though, only in America lol.
I agree with what you are saying but I think maybe you can be both desperate and fearless, it just goes back and forth, alternating. The father "fear" and the son "desperation" cooperating to get the job done.
Nah, homeless people are desperate and fearless. That's what makes them so dangerous, as they have nothing to lose by robbing you, forced entry of home invasion, grand theft auto, etc.
Huh? I must have missed that. I only heard 70 pounds. Even when they re-enacted the phone call from the sheriff to the DEA where the sheriff says literally 70 pounds.
This story is bullshit The Company is a nickname for CIA. The Bluegrass Conspiracy was the Kentucky link of the 80s CIA drug ops along with the California Cocaine Corridor and the route from Mena Arkansas north through Branson Missouri to STL, KC and Chicago.
People that are greedy don'r understand what you mean...Jane, that's not the point....they are an unending empty Pit of darkness that can't be filled...Politicians for example
@@eazypaid8311 No, they did not. They didn't even know his identity at first because he had several driver's licenses. Did you even bother to watch the video?
Whew, thanx for the cue! Spoiler alert I needed, that in the end, no one knows for sure what really happened to poor Drew dead on the driveway. Wow, Over an hour of watch time I'll never get back. This show just gave me anxiety to get to the point already, ha. You said it: Lonnnngest story ever!
Damn.....I only scrolled to the comments AFTER the movie! It could have been covered in 20 - 30 mins but they went all Hollywood on it and thought they were making a blockbuster!
@D M Yeah but what about the parachute in the tree? Who was the sniper that killed the judge? What happened to the (she disappeared) Florida G/F after the last phone call? Where's the 800 LBS of cocaine, nevermind the 80lbs they keep pushing over and over.😳 I'm like "who cares" point now😁Finally who killed the prosecutor? Is the training camp still open?😂🤣
This is wild. Stumbled across this video, but I just moved to Clay County, NC and my boyfriend was deadass like “yeah a drug plane flew into that mountain in the 80” as we were driving past it literally last week. Didn’t even believe him at the time.
Why exactly was that so hard to believe? The 80's was characterized by drug runs from Columbia, Latin America and Mexico flying to all points of the US on a daily basis.
I remember this story from years ago, the guy who fell out of the sky was wearing Gucci loafers so police knew straight away that this was no ordinary sky diver!
A true tale of crime and corruption in high society; it just goes to show that criminality is in the disposition of one’s will and not in the lack of privilege.
Cristina C , I don’t think it’s so much about countries like the USA lacking adequate law enforcement; they have plenty of that. The problem, instead, has to do with the abuse of authority and the corruption of law enforcement officers. That’s what sparked the wave of violence and caused awareness of those underlying social injustices to surface.
@@bethoughtprovoking I concur! So inane why too many of us persist in changing the true meaning of "defunding the police". It's not about getting rid of law enforcement. It's about accountability, improper use of lethal force, racism, bad cops, injustice, addressing police bias, corruption, abuse and violence. Let's put our tax dollars in better areas of policing where it can do the most good instead of protecting corrupt cops, stockpiling in military style weaponry like tanks and bombs.. Good comment, B E!
The show justified did the story the show is set in Kentucky a guy hit the ground from a plane strapped with cocaine his partner is named Drew check it out.
Just because a few drug runners fled South doesn't mean they won and the US government helped them - they went into a no man's land of drug related violence, they can be killed or arrested any day.
Yall watch too many movies. You also hear about a bad apple and assume they're all the same. You're nothing but clowns who get off on fictional BS. Grow up. I bet yall support BLM too.
According to Wiki 3 month after the guy was found on the driveway a black bear was found in the Chattahoochee National Forrest .That had apparently overdosed on cocaine dropped by Thornton ...They show him in the driveway with black military style boots on . but according to the facts he was really wearing Gucci Loafers. Supposedly Episode 1 Season 4 of "Justified " was inspired from this story
I put this on pause and did a deep dive into Drew Thornton. It’s sad that it wasn’t mentioned he was in the 82nd Airborne during Vietnam. He served our country proudly and with honors. He also completed Law school while working full time. He was a rebel, a daredevil and made some wrong choices but Rest In Peace sir. You really lived.
Constant repetition of the same material, so you have the before adverts material, adverts are edited out and the same information is rehashed just in case you have short term memory loss during the advert break while making a cup of tea!
the craziest part are the neighbors. they had all the time in the world to take most of the cash drugs and coins. nobody would even question them. the government is in on half of these deals back then anyway.
Great story! It's unfortunate that the people involved chose to use their talents in such a way. The group of friends could have gone far in life had they made better decisions, but hindsight is always 20/20.
They did, Andrew Thornton was one of the most successful Lawyers in Lexington.I believe his partner was as well but someone had to run the front.he doing his Patriotic duty, smuggling cocaine. The 70s was when olive north was running coke for the contra. If you read up about it if they got caught they were burnt, But they got to keep 25%. One time a jet registered to the CIA crashed with over 7 thousand pounds on it. When the police got there the agents were trying to load a marine helicopter with bright yellow CIA on there back. After the dropped off the drugs they'd use the money to buy surplus weapons from the USA. Machine guns rocket launchers,etc. What's really sad that this whole episode they said nothing about being a lawyer. They paint him as a dirty cop, drug dealer. When in reality he retired from the force after night school and passing the Bar. The drug things a grey area if George bush and Genaral North asked me to run cocaine to help fight communism, I'd kinda have to.
Robert Drew was NOT the assassinated Judge it was Judge John "Maximum John" Wood and his assassin was Charles Harrelson the father of actor Woody Harrelson. The Chagra case was very well known here in Texas. Why they changed the name of the Judge in this story seems ridiculous.
Wadcutter bullets are usually used for target shooting because the rough edges cut a clear and easy to see circle in paper targets. I have heard that they are occasionally used in self-defense loads. Most of law enforcement information to uninformed and haven't got a clue public is always that firearms are bad and scary, very unfortunate.
Wadcutters do NOT have a hole in the middle.... ever. They are flat nosed solid lead bullets designed to punch a flat circular hole in the target paper. Completely incorrect information by the official. Hollow point is the term for bullets with a hole for expansion into soft tissue targets. This is not my opinion, it is fact and easily verifiable with minimal effort .
Bonnies sisters testimony should not be admitted. The district attorney basically tells her, she's going to jail for life unless she says everything they want her to say. Of course she will repeat anything the attorneys tell her.
Always amazes me how they can prosecute the small time dealers but leave the big ones to run free. It’s so obvious why there are drugs everywhere at this point. Governments, cops and dealers are all in bed together and it’s just so sad what money can do.
And I'm equally amazed at the effort and expense they have gone to in making this reconstruction. All these locations, cars and equipment, uniforms and actors all cost a lot of money. And of course they still pay the real people appearance money as well. It's an offshoot industry to the real situations.
Enough cash and clout to do whatever they like😞😢 knowing they're protected from all sides SOUNDS MORE LIKE A CARTEL than the ones they frighten us with on the daily.
You ladies love bad boys/men lol😂 a lot of women who are totally legitimate fall for the ‘lifestyle’’ and charisma of a lot of the men.. (nothing nasty meant by that)
I couldn’t imagine the street value of even handguns in the UK. I imagine the black market makes hundreds of millions on the up charge for the ammo and guns
25 yrs on our sailboat, finding countless bales. of pot. Once the coasties was able to hurt da pot smuggling trade, it made cocaine much easier by its less size.. Much as kilos wash in up. On island beaches. Many accidents like plane crashes. Natives. grabbing lottsa duffel bags full o coke. First selli g at $1000 per kilo.
I am surprised I never heard of this story until recently, given I don't live that far from the area (a couple states away). I am also surprised this was never made into a movie (given the prominence/wealth and high tech equipment the smugglers had back at that time, getting military grade night vision equipment was not that easy).
Did they ever find out what happened to the missing girl? or did I miss it. Quite a convoluted mess to follow. A big clue they missed was the handle of the main parachute in the hand of the body in the driveway. Those handles just do not break off.
Yes I did not hear what happened either. That reconstruction we just watched was a large budget production, so I would have expected to hear all the loose ends tied up. As for the handle, I thought they were attached to something that does come completely away from the whole assembly. So the handle being by itself... not sure, maybe they didn't get the facts right or it was a different type of emergency chute.
The girl was the sister of a prominent professional baseball player. She didn't deserve what happened to her. I dont think they ever found her. Sad for the family.
VERY WELL DONE docudrama. Sets a standard, ESPECIALLY with the narrator's voice & competence, that's second to none. SUPERB. KUDOS to ALL!!! Thank u 4 this well presented true life 'story'. Professionals is what u r. LOVE this stuff. U put Hollywood to shame.
You are correct, this Docudrama IS very well done. That narrator is none other than one of the top voices in the business, Anthony Call. Sadly he is retired now. He has had a rather colorful past, even been a crew member on the flight deck on the old StarTrek episodes with William Shatner as Captain. Was a mainstay narrator of the FBI Files on TV. I just love the inflection he had in his voice. He was superb.
The teflon coating crap was a marketing lie. Teflon/lubalox was to prevent lead fouling of your firearm versus just lead, no jacket ammo. Reloaders will do like a powder coating on them now and do random colors.
So McVeigh's supposed "cop killer" black talon ammunition was really nothing special and wasn't capable of penetrating kevlar vests? There's so much lying hype in what is supposed to be "news" nowadays.
That selfish SOB also killed a bear! Apparently 3 months after the plane thing a Black Bear found some of the scattered coke stash, ate it and OD’d. Not makin’ this up.
Very true. I read that somewhere few years ago. It was from a fairly trustworthy news pretty sure it was from that local area news. Hidden Blessing I believe. That could turn out bad a Bear high on Coke hit the local town looking to party.
I read that somewhere, too but then I wondered why an autopsy would've been done on a random dead bear in the woods.. I mean, I suppose it could be true, but I'm leaning towards it being bs
Monica Lewis, not only is the story true, the bear was taxidermied and is now on display in an oddities museum called Kentucky For Kentucky Fun, where he’s known as Cocaine Bear! It gets crazier- at one time the stuffed bear was owned by Waylon Jennings! Btw, the science nerd in me reminds everyone that animals have ‘necropsies’, only people can have autopsies. Also, Cocaine Bear wasn’t a random bear alone in the woods- he was found next to a ripped-open bag that matched other coke bags from the plane.
I've heard so many of these old 70's and 80's stories of pilots at QB's way back when I was a kid... this stuff went on in Pennsylvania a lot, too, with all those small airports in the middle of the night. and some judge in cameron county. weird how most of it turned out to pretty much be true.
I'm 70 minutes into it and they still haven't bothered to tell me the cause of death. And they keep loading me up with all this tedious detail. Forget about it.
I never will understand these guys ya got millions and millions of $ why continue, why? I guess as they say it's never enough and it's addiction in itself! Krazy!!!
Once you get up high enough there is no getting out. You know too much and make too much money for too many people with too much to lose by you thinking you can retire into the sunset.

This is why i got no sleep in late 90s in HighSchool. Ironically this mentions Knoxville TN also where I started as a paramedic in 2005 😂 I know and and have worked countless scenes with these guys. Lol
😂💕
The crazy thing that they don't even mention in this film, is that the sniper who killed the federal judge is Charles Harrelson, famous actor Woody Harrelsons father. There's a whole podcast series about it.
Saw cocaine bear and was like wait didn't i just watch this documentary. Crazy coincidence n now the actor mention. Wow!
serious... wow?
That is a shocking revelation I’m going to follow up on if it is indeed a true fact. If this is just you foolin', you got me!
Both of his father and uncle were mob hitman.
If I found all that cocaine & no one else was around, calling the cops would be the last thing on my mind.... Respect towards the integrity of the Georgia ranger

Ofcourse
All that cocaine is just big problems waiting to happen.

no trafficing -- no drug smugling without the cops themselves being a party ------ crazy long winded story that just shows how hand in glove the authorities are with these smuglers !!!
Man, they just ain't no tellin the amount of $$$ they predict losing by legalizing and cutting out the badged and scripting middle man
I'd definitely turn the bag in.....never know they may need an empty bag to put things in......
The Devil tempts the best.
Corruption in the law only exists because criminals do everything to elicit .
Criminals need someone to turn the eye. They would do whatever needed. Treath, pointing out the economical advantages, kidnaping children, treath lives of love ones and kill, of course. A procecuter was killed for his integrity. If you are good you face hard times. To put all of thus people that make their life work to establish justice in just one bag called corruption is like stabing oneselve in the hart.

Your mind would run like........."maybe there's some sniper praying on the neighborhood". For sure you're prime instinct in cases like this is: CALL THE COPS. Actually the voice of the girl calling her dad to 'something strange lying there in the driveway' was PRETTY ACCURATE!!!
The reenactments on this show are AWESOME- its really what makes tbe show- that, and the narrarators voice-

You'd almost think they didn't want to catch them.
Bet the cocaine later disappeared too.
They do what they can. Too many criminals with plenty money.
Prob because the type of pple involved were involved with the CIA. DRUGS PUT BACK ON THE STREET.
Good for them!
It's very difficult to hide a wrong doing to the authority, especially drugs. You will be successful for so many times, but once you're caught, you're done.
Lol, how could you possibly know that???
Cause all the shows people are caught>??
And the other end of it??? You just guessing lol
More people who sell drugs dont get caught....BY A LANDSLIDE.
Of really? Did you know these guys had direct CIA connections? Only reason they got brought to justice is because a guy literally landed dead on someone's driveway lol. They weren't going to be caught. Now they are trying to say he was thrown out of the plane on purpose to let him be the fall guy.
I feel like the ppl that talk like this just heard the dare speech and said, ok that's my religion now.
@@globaladdict very well said!
You have a questionable grasp of reality.
when they turn up the heat the criminals turn on each other, drug dealers and law enforcement are 2 sides of the same coin, they should make this into a movie
What the skydiver had in his hand is the ripcord of the reserve, and you say the emergency chute opened on its own. At low altitudes you go directly for the reserve which is (or used to be in 1985) round (Paracomander). A round chute also makes more sense at night since you can’t see it’s better to fall straight down as opposed to forward (advancing) which is what the main chute does.
th-cam.com/video/jAIVGlk-5oI/w-d-xo.html
The main had been opened and released. The riser attachment rings were empty and the cutaway cables were hanging free.
The story I heard was that he had calculated how much he could carry based on the size of his main (but not his reserve). Supposedly he had a malfunctioned main, and cut away to his reserve, which was inadequate for his total weight (himself, his gear and his loot). Had his main not malfunctioned, he would likely have made it
2 weeks later a Cessna 208 Caravan crashed on takeoff, killing Dave "Cowboy" Williams, the pilot/owner and known associate of Thornton. 15 jumpers also lost their lives in the crash. The cause was "fuel contamination", but most people in the community think it was sabotage.
I met Thornton once at a small Kentucky DZ when I was a fledgling skydiver. Scary guy. Not much later I moved to Houston and heard from back home that he was dead. Guy had a bad reputation that preceded him.
He probably kept hold of it as a clue for the people who find him
@@tuttt99 possibly with the drugs being much lighter than him seems the wind would be catching the bag and spinning him all over out of control. I bet he was fighting all the way soon as he jumped. probably never really had a controlled dive.
I'll add some random comments because...why not?
1) You can find at least one internet article that states Drew died because his chute did not open, but both the investigator and the police report (which you can find on the internet) say his emergency chute did open. Drew's Wikipedia article says he died from freefall.
2) Commenter @DurAble says the second coin at 8:20 is a Norwegian 10 kroner. The third coin looks Austrian. The gold coins are in fact krugerrands....or else accurate props of such.
3) Several commenters have pointed out inconsistencies with the plane. My opinion is...yep. The real plane that Drew jumped out of was a Cessna 404 Titan which is a low wing, twin engine aircraft with retractable landing gear. The cutscene at 0:08 shows a high-wing with fixed landing gear. The rest of the cutscenes that are clear enough to show the plane type are of a Beech B90 King Air...similar to a Titan but not the same. The King Air can be verified using the registration number shown at 48:51.
4) The wreck they show at 16:10 is probably a salvage wreck that the show bought (or borrowed) from a salvager and used as a prop. It looks nothing like the wreck shown at 17:26 which looks like it might be actual footage of the crash site.
5) The more I look at the wreck scene, the more gaffs I see. For one, the tail number N8664Z belongs to a Cessna P206C which is a high-wing single engine aircraft (you can see the real plane at 0:40). The wreck is of a low-wing twin engine...you can see where the wing placement was at 18:22. The comment made by @mokiloke (dashboard looks like a cardboard cutout) is not far wrong. When an aircraft is salvaged, one of the first things that's done is to remove all the high value parts for resale, such as the instruments (the meters and gauges). Since replacing them for this scene would have cost literally tens of thousands of dollars, the show simply drew some dials on paper and put them where the instrument holes are. Its kinda comical. Also, when an aircraft crashes at speed in a forest, you can pretty much bet that you won't find one of the wings casually draped on top of the fuselage like you see at 18:13.
6) The show gives the name of the slain judge as John Drews (Druse? Druz?). It was actually John H. Wood, and there is a Wikipedia article about him. Interesting side note: His killer, Charles Harrelson, was the father of actor Woody Harrelson who was famous as bartender Woody in the American sitcom Cheers.
7) Another interesting side note: A few months after Drew made his jump, a black bear was found dead in Georgia. Cause of death? Cocaine ingestion. Cocaine Bear, Lexington, Kentucky (roadsideamerica.com)
8) At 1:06:22, the narrator says "...even semi-automatic M-2 carbines" as if that's a big deal. For one thing, an M-2 is not a semi-automatic...its a select-fire (that means it can be set to fire like a machine gun). and, I would also say that finding soviet machine guns and an anti-tank weapon would be much more deserving of the "even" emphasizer.
8) Yet another interesting sidenote: The plane that this show seems to have rented for many of the aircraft scenes, is a King Air owned by...somebody. Depending on when this show was made, it was either Win Win Aviation (who seems to no longer be in business) or NBBS, LLC who I can find no info on. I guess this should not be surprising since, back in the 1970s, that registration number was assigned to a Beech-18 owned by Air America (a private airline connected to the CIA). 8-)
Excellent read thank you

Im not knocking You.Your lnowledhe intrgues Me
@@KevinGardnerSr Just normal internet searching.
My comment was made 2 years ago, so naturally I can't say if the internet webpages that I visited are still there, but...
1) You can find articles on Drew by simply doing a search on his name.
2) You can find what Krugerrands look like by searching them and looking at the pictures. 8-)
3) You can find info on planes by, again, reading articles on Drew (at least one of which mentions the plane he was using), and looking up tail numbers on at the FAA website, and by simply looking at the TH-cam video.
4) Several of my comments are not facts. They are opinions, and I believe I made that clear in the wording I used.
5) I've never worked for the Feds (unless you count military service), but I did work at a flight school for a few years.
6) I did not comment on the stuff at 1:15:33. My comments are mostly about the quality of this video, i.e. props and cutscenes that were put in this video that are not accurate. Sorta like when you watch some of the older WW2 movies where the movie tries to show German tanks but in fact those tanks are simply American tanks with German markings...presumably because the movie production company could not afford to hire actual WW2 German tanks.
🤔 When i saw the small militia training i remember i recentely saw a movie ( wich i don't remember the name) About a guy that was working with the CIA as an informant and smuggled cocaine from Colombia and had a small fleet of planes but got greedy, Don't know if that story is related 🤔
@@gabrielalvarez9570 You might be referring to Barry Seal. He worked mostly with DEA although the CIA was somewhat involved, I think. He was a drug smuggler that got caught and turned informant. Years later, he was assassinated by a cartel. There is a Wikipedia article on him. And yes, there has been a movie or two about him.
The narrator revealed that Barclay's gang was a close knit group. However, after eventually being captured, nearly all of them squealed on each other. Truly there is no honor among thieves! ...Some things never change.

Cop describes suspect - "desperate and fearless individual..." - desperation is BORN from fear. You can't be both at the same time.
I agree with what you are saying but I think maybe you can be both desperate and fearless, it just goes back and forth, alternating. The father "fear" and the son "desperation" cooperating to get the job done.
Nah, homeless people are desperate and fearless. That's what makes them so dangerous, as they have nothing to lose by robbing you, forced entry of home invasion, grand theft auto, etc.

The Company is a nickname for CIA. The Bluegrass Conspiracy was the Kentucky link of the 80s CIA drug ops along with the California Cocaine Corridor and the route from Mena Arkansas north through Branson Missouri to STL, KC and Chicago.

A true tale of crime and corruption in high society; it just goes to show that criminality is in the disposition of one’s will and not in the lack of privilege.
That's why we need law inforcement. Imagine that wasn't around. Oh wait... one only has to see the current news about usa riots. ANIMAL VIOLENCE.
Cristina C , I don’t think it’s so much about countries like the USA lacking adequate law enforcement; they have plenty of that. The problem, instead, has to do with the abuse of authority and the corruption of law enforcement officers. That’s what sparked the wave of violence and caused awareness of those underlying social injustices to surface.
@@cristinac1285 a lot of rich people do it for the thrill. Makes them feel alive. The Adrenalin and beating the system becomes the be all and end all.
@@bethoughtprovoking I concur! So inane why too many of us persist in changing the true meaning of "defunding the police". It's not about getting rid of law enforcement. It's about accountability, improper use of lethal force, racism, bad cops, injustice, addressing police bias, corruption, abuse and violence. Let's put our tax dollars in better areas of policing where it can do the most good instead of protecting corrupt cops, stockpiling in military style weaponry like tanks and bombs..

All these disappearing suspects and blown investigations makes me think that someone in the FBI was a friend to the company.
she never told who the accomplice is cause he came out alive with the money and dope and she got paid 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
A great commentary on how inefficient the FBI is.
Don't you mean effective considering that they were not indicted
Things that go bump in the night. "Honey, were you expecting company?"I think Jim might be dropping by later " 😂
I have too check my driveway every morning from now on 😁

The ending where she said this speaks volumes. This speaks volumes on how corrupt police system is.
If so corrupt then these characters would not have been found guilty being their part of the system
It's not the system, it's just individuals.

They made it public. Government had no choice
Just because a few drug runners fled South doesn't mean they won and the US government helped them - they went into a no man's land of drug related violence, they can be killed or arrested any day.
Yall watch too many movies. You also hear about a bad apple and assume they're all the same. You're nothing but clowns who get off on fictional BS. Grow up. I bet yall support BLM too.
They should make a movie about this. Very captivating story.
cocaine bear
According to Wiki 3 month after the guy was found on the driveway a black bear was found in the Chattahoochee National Forrest .That had apparently overdosed on cocaine dropped by Thornton ...They show him in the driveway with black military style boots on . but according to the facts he was really wearing Gucci Loafers.
Supposedly Episode 1 Season 4 of "Justified " was inspired from this story
"uh dad ... there is a person in our driveway with a parachute attached to him"
"UH HUH ... honey did you take your medicine this morning?'
I put this on pause and did a deep dive into Drew Thornton. It’s sad that it wasn’t mentioned he was in the 82nd Airborne during Vietnam. He served our country proudly and with honors. He also completed Law school while working full time. He was a rebel, a daredevil and made some wrong choices but Rest In Peace sir. You really lived.
He was a drug dealer. Being a vet doesn't negate his criminality.
Nothing honorable about him, period.
He seemed to have lived an action life, living the way he wanted to live.
Some would say that inside every lawyer is a criminal looking to beat the system and get away clean and rich.
@@allbayfishing9456 Victiming others at their expense. IE. He wanted to live as a carrea criminal.
could you show me those scenes again I missed them the first 5 times.
Constant repetition of the same material, so you have the before adverts material, adverts are edited out and the same information is rehashed just in case you have short term memory loss during the advert break while making a cup of tea!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
it used to be aired on network television, the repeated bits are from after commercial breaks - re: Liz
Mary Curtis, the comments are better than the show, which drags on with so much repetition! Whew!
Lmaooooooooooo
The name of the vault where the coke was headed was never revealed. What we do know is they partied like it was 1969.
the craziest part are the neighbors. they had all the time in the world to take most of the cash drugs and coins. nobody would even question them. the government is in on half of these deals back then anyway.
This is a part of narcos tv series
grab the lot get back in bed tell the cops i was fast asleep didnt hear or see nowt
I am addicted to real stories...
We call them our MURDER SHOWS.....used to be ashamed of our love of them....but now🤣😂🤣
There is no love or loyalty between thieves & criminals. When are people going to learn that🙄
no honor amongst thieves your best mate is the one luring you to your execution

Great story! It's unfortunate that the people involved chose to use their talents in such a way. The group of friends could have gone far in life had they made better decisions, but hindsight is always 20/20.
They did, Andrew Thornton was one of the most successful Lawyers in Lexington.I believe his partner was as well but someone had to run the front.he doing his Patriotic duty, smuggling cocaine. The 70s was when olive north was running coke for the contra. If you read up about it if they got caught they were burnt, But they got to keep 25%. One time a jet registered to the CIA crashed with over 7 thousand pounds on it. When the police got there the agents were trying to load a marine helicopter with bright yellow CIA on there back. After the dropped off the drugs they'd use the money to buy surplus weapons from the USA. Machine guns rocket launchers,etc. What's really sad that this whole episode they said nothing about being a lawyer. They paint him as a dirty cop, drug dealer. When in reality he retired from the force after night school and passing the Bar. The drug things a grey area if George bush and Genaral North asked me to run cocaine to help fight communism, I'd kinda have to.
I are mmmm
@@philnewlun7974 Interesting 🤔 ✌💟
Nice
shouldbe a movie
Robert Drew was NOT the assassinated Judge it was Judge John "Maximum John" Wood and his assassin was Charles Harrelson the father of actor Woody Harrelson. The Chagra case was very well known here in Texas. Why they changed the name of the Judge in this story seems ridiculous.
Wow, I'd never heard of that. But it's true!
No one checks the facts. What they say is TRUE???
John They already said in the beginning that the names will be changed.
Or any..considering the book, info been around many years..
So we all ignore that accident with plane happened on Septembre 11.
Wadcutter bullets are usually used for target shooting because the rough edges cut a clear and easy to see circle in paper targets. I have heard that they are occasionally used in self-defense loads. Most of law enforcement information to uninformed and haven't got a clue public is always that firearms are bad and scary, very unfortunate.
In Brasil they call those bullets ; bala Dumdum !
Wadcutters do NOT have a hole in the middle.... ever. They are flat nosed solid lead bullets designed to punch a flat circular hole in the target paper. Completely incorrect information by the official. Hollow point is the term for bullets with a hole for expansion into soft tissue targets. This is not my opinion, it is fact and easily verifiable with minimal effort .
Bonnies sisters testimony should not be admitted. The district attorney basically tells her, she's going to jail for life unless she says everything they want her to say. Of course she will repeat anything the attorneys tell her.
Fascinating story. The sniper who killed the judge was actor Woody Harrelson's father.
I never heard that. Thanks.
Long story! Narrator is excellent! Just deserts!
Yes...he points out the painfully obvious 🤓🤪
54:07 “He thought this equipment would never be missed… he was wrong” lmaooo don’t know why but the tone of his voice makes it sound hilarious
I bet the people that found the body were pissed off they didn’t take his bags before the police arrived lol 😂
That's the same thing that came to my mind.

They got charged years later for stealing 4 bags.
The cash and 1 kilo at least!
Always amazes me how they can prosecute the small time dealers but leave the big ones to run free. It’s so obvious why there are drugs everywhere at this point. Governments, cops and dealers are all in bed together and it’s just so sad what money can do.
And I'm equally amazed at the effort and expense they have gone to in making this reconstruction. All these locations, cars and equipment, uniforms and actors all cost a lot of money. And of course they still pay the real people appearance money as well. It's an offshoot industry to the real situations.
Sharp remark lady..
👍 it's money 💰💸... always the game changer.
Yes my sister.
Enough cash and clout to do whatever they like😞😢 knowing they're protected from all sides SOUNDS MORE LIKE A CARTEL than the ones they frighten us with on the daily.
I love this channel. Why do us ladies love true crime videos!! I know I love them....
You ladies love bad boys/men lol😂 a lot of women who are totally legitimate fall for the ‘lifestyle’’ and charisma of a lot of the men.. (nothing nasty meant by that)
As an Englishman, I could not conceive how cheap those weapons were to buy.
I couldn’t imagine the street value of even handguns in the UK. I imagine the black market makes hundreds of millions on the up charge for the ammo and guns
Yes $250k is not that much for all that stuff. But in 1979, I suppose it was a lot... over a million in today's terms.
How come I can't find that much cocaine during my hikes or have it land on my driveway?!
Ahmen but I'ma start paying more lol
25 yrs on our sailboat, finding countless bales. of pot. Once the coasties was able to hurt da pot smuggling trade, it made cocaine much easier by its less size.. Much as kilos wash in up. On island beaches. Many accidents like plane crashes. Natives. grabbing lottsa duffel bags full o coke. First selli g at $1000 per kilo.
Be careful what you wish for...
🤣🤣🤭
rain drops / Yea. Back in the day, Id’o stripped him of drugs, money and guns! Then ghosted!
I am surprised I never heard of this story until recently, given I don't live that far from the area (a couple states away). I am also surprised this was never made into a movie (given the prominence/wealth and high tech equipment the smugglers had back at that time, getting military grade night vision equipment was not that easy).
It ain’t easy and that’s why they got caught.
I thought that it could be a really good film I’d go watch it 😊
@@Mjm9778IsANonce American Made - it's pretty much made about this

What an amazing name........how did u ever come up with that? Incredible lol
That's what they call the CIA.
@@sirbader1 True
@@tombob4002 I’m just thinking, that’s all. No need to be rude.
Movie is coming out in a year called Cocaine Bear after that poor bear's OD
Did they ever find out what happened to the missing girl? or did I miss it. Quite a convoluted mess to follow. A big clue they missed was the handle of the main parachute in the hand of the body in the driveway. Those handles just do not break off.
I was wondering the same thing - what happened to the woman in the 1977 investigation?
Yes I did not hear what happened either. That reconstruction we just watched was a large budget production, so I would have expected to hear all the loose ends tied up. As for the handle, I thought they were attached to something that does come completely away from the whole assembly. So the handle being by itself... not sure, maybe they didn't get the facts right or it was a different type of emergency chute.
Nada, Nothing, Zero, Zilch and No further information on girl. I thought the same thing as you Then read your comment.
I'm still trying to find out the end result of the death's of the Judge and D.A. that were killed. I looked them up but cannot find anything on them.
The girl was the sister of a prominent professional baseball player. She didn't deserve what happened to her. I dont think they ever found her. Sad for the family.
VERY WELL DONE docudrama. Sets a standard, ESPECIALLY with the narrator's voice & competence, that's second to none. SUPERB. KUDOS to ALL!!! Thank u 4 this well presented true life 'story'. Professionals is what u r. LOVE this stuff. U put Hollywood to shame.
You are correct, this Docudrama IS very well done. That narrator is none other than one of the top voices in the business, Anthony Call. Sadly he is retired now. He has had a rather colorful past, even been a crew member on the flight deck on the old StarTrek episodes with William Shatner as Captain. Was a mainstay narrator of the FBI Files on TV. I just love the inflection he had in his voice. He was superb.

The teflon coating crap was a marketing lie. Teflon/lubalox was to prevent lead fouling of your firearm versus just lead, no jacket ammo. Reloaders will do like a powder coating on them now and do random colors.
So McVeigh's supposed "cop killer" black talon ammunition was really nothing special and wasn't capable of penetrating kevlar vests?
There's so much lying hype in what is supposed to be "news" nowadays.

This is the story of Melanie Flynn. Her father (Bobby) was a Senator, and her brother Doug Flynn played for the Cincinnati Reds.
That selfish SOB also killed a bear! Apparently 3 months after the plane thing a Black Bear found some of the scattered coke stash, ate it and OD’d. Not makin’ this up.
Very true. I read that somewhere few years ago. It was from a fairly trustworthy news pretty sure it was from that local area news. Hidden Blessing I believe. That could turn out bad a Bear high on Coke hit the local town looking to party.
Bummer I love bears, I wish I found it . That way the bear would have been safe
Matt Kustom Kostumes Bullshit man the bear was a drug dealer and mad as a snake when he was coked up
I read that somewhere, too but then I wondered why an autopsy would've been done on a random dead bear in the woods..
I mean, I suppose it could be true, but I'm leaning towards it being bs
Monica Lewis, not only is the story true, the bear was taxidermied and is now on display in an oddities museum called Kentucky For Kentucky Fun, where he’s known as Cocaine Bear! It gets crazier- at one time the stuffed bear was owned by Waylon Jennings! Btw, the science nerd in me reminds everyone that animals have ‘necropsies’, only people can have autopsies. Also, Cocaine Bear wasn’t a random bear alone in the woods- he was found next to a ripped-open bag that matched other coke bags from the plane.
Wow, what a story! Would make a terrific movie.
My thoughts too
Absolutely
Well? Have you made the movie yet?
I've heard so many of these old 70's and 80's stories of pilots at QB's way back when I was a kid... this stuff went on in Pennsylvania a lot, too, with all those small airports in the middle of the night. and some judge in cameron county. weird how most of it turned out to pretty much be true.
Proverbs 28:28
When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
I love this show. It's so satisfying to see them get the bad guys. Plus I love Jim Kalstrom's New Yawk accent!
Right ?????? Lol!!!!
The guy speaking is not Jim it's Anthony Call
He is from Massachusetts.. completely different accent.. the company are not bad guys, they are true American Patriots. True American heroes .
The bad guys won here
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how cool the name Andrew Carter Thorton the second is!
Way to make an hour and a half movie, out of a half hour program.
I thought so too
1:11:25 C900T for the getaway! And they used real sounds too you can hear the door and the exhaust burble, awesome.
I'm 70 minutes into it and they still haven't bothered to tell me the cause of death. And they keep loading me up with all this tedious detail. Forget about it.
I never will understand these guys ya got millions and millions of $ why continue, why? I guess as they say it's never enough and it's addiction in itself! Krazy!!!
yes thrill of the chase ,not only hooked on the money ,but the buzz of just doing the wrong things to get the cash is the main buzz for theses pll
It’s never enough
cops love that aspect of moron criminal mentality, they never make money and just disappear, they gotta hang around
same as gold fever once you get that rush from cash like that you just can't shake it.
Once you get up high enough there is no getting out. You know too much and make too much money for too many people with too much to lose by you thinking you can retire into the sunset.
