As this accident unfolded, another one was happening in the Chattahoochee National Forest, 50 miles away. The 75 pounds of cocaine that Andrew flung from the plane were discovered by a curious 175-pound black bear, later called “Pablo Escobear.” Pablo’s name was inspired by the drug lord, Pablo Escobar, and for good reason.
