1981 IRA Great Escape from Crumlin rd Gaol Belfast | The Troubles Documentary

[@ATroubledLand]

Thank you for watching this Documentary on KZbin for the first time. As always sharing my videos is fully permitted to help save our collective troubled past.

Who has this channel giving out information about the troubles. Was that Peter Campbell brother I knew from the lodge

[@brianhamilton1544]

Brilliant loving watching

[@PaulGlancy-fp7ob]

Jim...Best site online. 38 got out. Gerry Kelly. Adams right hand man shot the guy in the face as he wouldn't wouldn't open the door, so shot in face he was. Marley had 2 years left. He was the master, but 2 years left, he stayed. "Hunger" Must watch.

I've always been amazed at the strength will & determination of these men to break free through the most difficult & struggling times never allowing those trying to keep them locked away forever to break them or their will....

[@edwardcooper5479]

Imagine the cheek of the authorities trying to keep murderers locked up ! What has become of this country?

[@IrishRepublicMedia-v5u]

Yea this in my opinion is just as amazing as the 1983 escape, the M60 gang was one of the last great Belfast Brigade units, the supergrass trials destroyed the Belfast brigade.

All prisoners, everywhere dream of escaping. I tend to think of these prisoners as political prisoners, like Mandala and there are times when their freedom benefits society, although I admit that is rare. But didn’t the Loyalists neatly paint “Loyalist POW “ over the entrance to their H block in the Maze? One person’s terrorist….

[@ogrebattle22763]

@@ATLmodK They were political prisoners....

[@ATLmodK]

@@ogrebattle22763 I do too, I was trying to subtlety make that point, but perhaps I was too subtle. When I said it was rare I meant that most people, currently, are in jail for a crime with no political or ideological motive, and should probably stay there. However, it was far from being that simple 30 years ago in the Maze for instance. I do think that releasing the paramilitary prisoners on both sides was the right thing to do.

thank you very much for releasing all of this new content

[@ATroubledLand]

Thank you :) Hang around, I'm just getting started.

[@JamesEastwood-y3q]

I was in the crum at the time of escape and had same solicitor Oliver Kelly as escape gang and knew solicitor in video, who had much more hair at the time, 1981. I was an ODC, not political but I met Joe Docherty and fats Campbell, seen in video, they did not disguise their dislike of me as I was an armed robber, there was segregation in the crum between political and non political prisoners at the time.

The IRA ran rings round them in the same jail they left a bomb in the recreation area killed and injured loyalist prisoners they were escaping all the time spectacularly and the loyalists couldn't even smuggle a puppy in as if youd want to .the IRA prisoners war didn't end at the prison gates

[@IrishTechnicalThinker]

Brilliant documentaries ma chara. Subscribed to your channel and going to be covering troubles content on my own channel too, our history here is dark but really incredible for how small we are as a nation. Long live the peace process.

[@ATroubledLand]

If I can help in any way let me know - of course you can use whatever you so wish from the channel - the more share it the more chance its saved for future generations as it can never be forgotten... Go raibh mile maith agat mó chara

[@niallcarr9253]

The Brits are forever celebrating the ingenuity of the 'Officer Class' in Colditz or the Great Escape.......so we also have our fair share to celebrate!

You could do a Doc on Ardoynes own "Papillon" who was balls deep in a number of escapes/attempts. RIP Vol Lawerence Marley ✌✌✌

[@ATroubledLand]

I'm actually working on his documentary- it's very poor quality at the minute. The movie is on the channel if you check the bottom of the home page - the actor plays Lawerence very well indeed.
