In this video, we take a look at 5 more prison escapes caught on camera.
Some of these are pretty intense, and others downright bizarre.
This list has it all - it features bulldozers, fistfights, helicopters and excrement-coated pipes.
Now that i've got your attention, let's start.
Bulldozer hits Danish Prison
On August 27th 1995, 12 inmates escaped when
a large bulldozer was driven into the walls of a maximum security prison near Copenhagen,
Denmark.
The prison held some of Denmark's most dangerous and notorious prisoners, and the escapees
were a seriously hazardous crowd made up of four robbers, three drug dealers and five
murderers.
While these prisoners fled and made a break for freedom, others stayed and decided not
to jeopardise their chances of legally leaving the jail at a later point.
Prior to the escape, a former inmate of the prison had been secretly communicating with
those still incarcerated using cell phones which had been thrown over the walls.
This sneaky perpetrator then stole the bulldozer, smashed through the walls and released the
prisoners, as had been arranged.
The footage, captured on a video camera, shows prisoners sprinting from the boundaries of
the prison while guards flee after them, thoroughly confused and unsure as what to do.
As the prisoners run, the look pretty jubilant and happy, one of them even excitedly shouting
'yeah!' as he runs beyond the camera.
The recording stops when one guard abruptly places his hand over the lens in order to
prevent any further filming.
Though they could not anticipate the attack, the guards were clearly concerned that the
footage would make them look incompetent and inadequate.
The whole clip is pretty chaotic
It took more than 6 months to rebuild the broken wall.
The prison team also installed extra security cameras to prevent future breakout attempts.
all 12 of the escapees were captured within a month and returned to their cells.
Romanian Prison Escape
In Iasi, north-eastern Romania, in 2015, a
guard was tasked with the job of escorting two prisoners to a van.
In theory, a pretty simple job and all very routine stuff.
However, CCTV footage from the day shows what ends up as a pretty botched effort.
As the three are walking out of the prison and towards the van, which is in the parking
lot, one of the prisoners sees an opportune chance to escape and quickly bounds over a
fence.
Seeing this, the unfortunate and flustered prison guard opens a gate and goes running
after his escapee.
Having done so, he leaves the other criminal alone in the parking lot with an open gate
in front of him.
Finding himself in a wonderfully fortunate position, the second prisoner does what anyone
else would do and takes the chance to join his fellow escapee.
He sprints through the open gate and also makes a run for it.
While he runs in one direction, the other prisoner runs in another, and the guard can
of course only chase one of them.
The prisoners were not brought back to the complex on the day of their escape as they
could not be located.
One of them was found at a later date, while the fate of the other is unknown.
So much for high security.
Trent Archie Prison Escape
In June 2011, when convicted murderer Trent
Archie decided to break out of his Texas jail cell, he didn't do so with any contrived tricks
or complex plans - he simply tried to smash and fight his way through the front door.
Just before 3am, he and fellow inmate, Davis McLeskey brutally attacked and assaulted three
officers in order to make their way to the exit.
CCTV videos from the early hours of the morning show the pair on the prison telephones, purporting
to speak to people from outside the compound.
Archie claimed that he wanted to call his mother at such an early hour in order to catch
her before she set off for her pre-dawn morning paper delivery drop.
Officers believe that Archie was in fact just pretending to be on the phone, waiting for
his opportunity to escape.
They remained on the phones - or perhaps not - for 20 minutes, seizing their chance when
one of the officers opened the door.
The footage then shows them grapple and wrestle with officers, punching and kicking them in
their attempt to escape.
One of the officers was later treated for a head injury.
While Archie managed to escape, McLeskey wasn't so lucky, and was instead taken back to his
cell, shirtless and hopeless.
Archie, who is serving forty years for murder, was finally tracked down three days later
and taken back to prison.
His mother, Jacqueline, was charged with attempting to help him hide.
His two - yep, two - girlfriends were also charged.
After being discovered, Archie, who was undergoing a new hearing, claimed that he had attempted
to escape because he 'wasn't getting a fair trial'.
He was subsequently charged for his attempt to escape.
The prison captain later vowed to tighten security at the prison, which has seen at
least seven successful escapes within a 22-year period.
Prisoner Attempts to Escape Through Toilet
In perhaps the smelliest escape attempt in all human history, In 2015, an inmate at a
Brazilian prison attempted to flee via the unusual option of the communal toilet.
The footage, which you can almost smell through the screen, shows him being pulled from the
excrement-covered sewage pipes which lead from the lavatory.
At the maximum security prison, his other escape options must have been pretty limited,
and he was left with this one and only stinky alternative.
Unfortunately for him, the pipes are tighter and narrower than he had anticipated, so the
video shows him wedged in, stuck in the putrid environment of the tubes.
He persistently wiggles and wobbles to get himself free, but he finally gives up the
ghost and decides to let two men aid his recapture.
A later shot of the man shows him standing upright
and covered in waste, his malodourous position no doubt compounding his disappointment at
not being able to escape.
The exact location of the prison and the identity of the fragrant vagrant are not known, but
it is believed that anyone in the region of South American can smell him if the wind blows right.
Still, you must admire him for his unsavoury attempt.
God loves a trier, though he might need a wash before he steps through the pearly gates.
Canadian Helicopter Prison Escape
In something resembling a heist movie, two Canadian prisoners attempted a daring escape
from prison via helicopter.
The bold attempt occurred in 2013, and footage shows the pair clambering up a rope to reach
the chopper, which is placed on the prison roof in Quebec.
The two planned and plotted the escape via secret text messages which they had sent from smuggled phones.
Their accomplices rented a helicopter under seemingly innocent means, then hi jacked it
at gunpoint to aid them in their escape.
The pilot, no doubt taken by surprise, was then forced to fly to the prison while being
threatened by the hi jackers.
Officers could see the escape taking place, but were reluctant to interfere as the helicopter
hi jackers were armed and dangerous.
Throughout their ascent up the rope, both inmates seem thoroughly incapable of making
it to the roof.
The whole attempt seems pretty dim and dithery, and looks to be carried out with little urgency.
When the inmates seemingly cannot complete the climb to the roof, the helicopter takes
off with them hanging from the rope.
Before they manage to successfully float away, the rope then gets stuck, somewhat ironically,
on a CCTV camera.
The footage then shows them rise and drift out of shot.
They then landed nearby in a getaway car and made their breakaway attempt in the relative
safety of the vehicle, probably pleased just to have their feet firmly on the ground.
The escapees and their accomplices were then found just hours after they floated away to freedom.
Not quite the Hollywood ending they'd planned.
