MIA Crash Driver Told Not To Go Toward Overpass: Witnesses
The driver of the bus that crashed into an overpass at Miami International Airport over the weekend was told not to go that way, survivors Maria Sanjines and Luis Jimenez said. Meantime, Violeta Cornejo was counting her blessings after she didn't make the trip. "I don't understand why we always have to lose the good ones," said Penelope Narvaes, who was friends with Castillo. The bus' driver, Ramon Ferriero, could not be reached for comment.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Miami International Airport on Thursday seized more than 230 pounds of cocaine, estimated to be worth $2.7 million.
The cocaine was found in three suitcases during a random search of baggage arriving from Quito, Ecuador, according to a statement from Customs and Border Protection.
Border protection officers at the airport selected the flight for a random X-ray inspection and found three suitcases filled with 90 brick-shaped packages of cocaine, the agency said.
