10 Biggest Drug Busts In U.S. History

5. Los Angeles 1991 drug bust

Once more, we take you back a few decades to 1991, in Los Angeles, which saw one of the biggest drug busts in the history of not just the US at the time, but the entire world. 21.4 tons of cocaine were discovered, worth at the time an estimated $6.9 billion and resulted in a life sentence for the warehouse manager where the stash was discovered. In the preceding months, more than 77 tons had moved through that very warehouse.
