For all you #MoneyHeist fans, here is one that happened for real at Santiago de Chile airport.
The @LATAMAirlines #B787-9 was allegedly carrying $32.5 million in cash. Armed robbers avoiding security made it airside; there was a shootout; and the @Delta pic.twitter.com/NgxSTmVYyA… https://t.co/YOCJPcK7on

According to Chilean officials, a group of about 10 heavily armed gunmen in armored vehicles bypassed security and entered the runway of Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. The target was a Latam airlines aircraft from Miami carrying $32.5 million in cash that was set to be transferred into armored trucks and distributed to several banks across the country.

The gunmen were confronted by security forces at the aircraft and a large shootout left one Directorate General of Civil Aviation officer and one robber dead. The rest of the gunmen fled the scene and currently remain at large. Deputy Interior Minister Manuel Monsalve described the incident as a “highly organized, highly armed and probably very well-planned robbery.”
