  1. Keep it Columbia
    Ya deserve it
    It’s in your land !

  2. Oooo the Americans crying over something g that isn’t theirs πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ once again
    Nothing new πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  3. It would seem fair that there would be a legitimate finders fee to the real discoverers of thr shipwreck however due to natural human greed and very common corrupt authorities we all know where the moneybthst cones from that bounty will surely go,,, 😐

  4. I'm gonna go there and get some treasure for myself. I'm first going to cut down a large city bell somewhere, maybe a big church bell, but I don't know. And then sink to the bottom inside the bell, to protect my eardrums.

  5. The President of Colombia hurry up before end of my term, sounds very suspicious πŸ˜…

  6. Se roban el oro en el pasado y en el presente.
    Menos mal lo van a recuperar por que cualquier paΓ­s se lo roba

  7. Going straight to drug dealers

  8. Lol he is about to take his cut

  9. So much was stolen from South America, it belongs to South America. Not just Columbia.

  10. Dont let foreigners try and take it

  11. Interested to see how this plays out πŸ‘€.

  12. It's called salvage diving for a reason…salvor's get the loot.

  13. I imagine. Tons of stealing going on for decades.

  14. Why didn’t anyone just randomly go get the treasure

  15. Was dit before of er na

  16. And we hope there will not be another Titan bomb wreck aka implosion going on while this is being pulled out

  17. The U.S. and Israel will try to steal as much of the treasure's worth as they possibly can.
