best way to get gold from the US to London?


i love how a shipment of gold from the US bound for London somehow ends up on a train in Denmark! There's a direct route for you!

They must have used a travel agent looking for a good commission.

They should have used a Yellow Submarine.

I also like how in the train of gray shipping containers (in the US it would now be called an 'intermodal' train), the one container that's loaded with $1 billion in gold (probably $10-12 billion in today's dollars) is bright white instead. Because, you know, the shippers understood that for security purposes it needed to be as inconspicuous as possible...

I also love how they assembled a fully functional helicopter out of two medium sized suitcases in a few minutes. Or how local police in Denmark unquestionably obey a billionaire referring him as his excellency.
