Cocaine Factory - Lonely Planet Travel Video




In the jungle-clad mountains of the Sierra Nevada, Colombia, we visited a cocaine lab run by a coca farmer. How do you make cocaine? Take some coca leaves, a number of nasty substances, add some bullets, some scary para-military soldiers, a dash of guerrillas, some corrupt cops and a pinch of coca farmer, and you've got one of the world's deadliest drug cocktails.

The Phantom Corsair




The Phantom Corsair is an automobile prototype from 1938. It is a six-passenger coupe that was designed by Rust Heinz, a member of the H. J. Heinz family, and Maurice Schwartz of the Pasadena, California based Bohman & Schwartz coachbuilding company. The design was a departure from contemporary car design and it did away with many features, common at the time, that were eventually abandoned by mainstream designers.


Heinz planned to put the Phantom Corsair, which cost approximately $24,000 to produce in 1938 into limited production at an estimated selling price of $12,500. However, Heinz's death, shortly after the car was completed, ended those plans. The completely unique 1938 Phantom Corsair now resides in the National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada.
