[@kellyross4221]

Made a hole in concrete with a SPOON?! I don't know what you think, but I think these inmates need a round of applause 👏👏👏

[@chris_theclown416]

U rite

[@StudyabroadWithAbhilasha]

Freedom is a very big price they were paying.

[@panorama6311]

the concrete was weak

[@Yeritsmario91]

kelly ross they did not use spoons, they built a drill from a vacuum cleaner motor to punch wholes on the wall.

[@xoom8980]

Well the spoons are metal and the concrete was weakened by the moist air

[@billmatrisch4129]

Been there, if you love history this tour is a must.

[@snake9911]

To this day, they don't know if they escaped or drowned in the ocean. No body has ever been recovered. It will probably be a mystery forever.

[@suyogkhanal281]

It's impossible to escape from alcatraz Michael Scofield : Am I a joke to you??

[@ProdbyDaveOfficial]

They made it off the island, they escaped.

[@WilsonRows]

jakeykj123 John and Clarence Anglin escaped, there is a documentary on it, the brothers were able to connect a raft to the boat that transferred people on and off the island. A picture was discovered of both of them in Brazil 10 years after the escape

[@thegreatest7939]

Actually no body escaped they built a plane and crashed into a bridge

[@zskrubz]

Acually Sal, Billy, Ale, and Finn built a plane and it crashed on the Golden Gate, and they fell to there death. Facts.

I've always been so fascinated with this place. Last time I was there was in 6th grade in the mid-80s. I imagine the tours have changed quite a bit since then. I might be able to take my kids in a couple months. Has anyone been on the night tour? That one sounds like it would be pretty spooky and awesome.

[@boxersstory3438]

My grandfather was actually a prisoner in Alcatraz he did 10 year in there until 1963 and was later relocated and had my mom 1978

[@TheMarianadealmeida]

What did he do

[@mathhewhutton9400]

if I ever saw them right now, I wouldnt turn them it, they're a legend!!!

[@stephenjoachim2263]

There were at least a dozen escape attempts from Alcatraz. Bank robbers Darl Parker and Paul Scott tried to swim to freedom,. Parker stopped at "Little Alcatraz and could go no further. He was recaptured. Scott swam for the skyline and made it to a point under the Golden Gate Bridge. He fell asleep and when he woke up he was surrounded by police. This was in 1962. It was possible to reach the mainland by swimming.

[@Nikohere]

Yes surrounded by that cold water coming in & out of the bay there along with sharks too. Many windsurfers I see from the freeway love windsurfing along the waves & the tide especially in the sunset time. Or a lot just canoe around the waters there.

[@elliotboucher4338]

The is a few things they didn't mention #1 it is believed that the inmates that escaped didnt use the raft to go all the way and stopped half way on got in a boat. There was reports that a police officer saw I boat in between land and Alcatraz Island #2 there were 4 men who came up with the plan but only 3 escaped because the other one had a bar in his whole... He was the guy who came up with the plan and built the raft -_- Fail by him

[@joshuahays3566]

He was actually killed by his fellow friends

[@cbroads]

Josh Hays nope they tried to hide his hole he dug out with spoon. they added a hard substance to it. on the day of the escape, he couldn't get out of the hole

[@ishottyzishottyz3277]

I agree so much I noticed all of those things my self

[@HQVividGaming]

Josh Hays josh search alcatraz. and look at the 1st or second vid that pops up. hes still alive. he took too long trying to get through his hole so they left him behind

[@joshuahays3566]

Ah i heard that they killed him but thank you for informing me

[@elizabethmcbeen9485]

Currents are strong in the bay. The current, when I visited, seemed to go out to sea, not towards land. If someone met them in a boat, they made it. If they didn't have a plan they probably didn't make it. In the back of my mind I have always hoped they made it.

[@Michelle-nt4bz]

They made it. They had a boat waiting for them.

[@philrabe910]

I built the props that are in the MGM cells today [those pictured with the dummy]. My boss made the dummy heads, and got the hair from his wife's hairdressing business. He was shown the actual escape artifacts at the FBI warehouse and photographed them from which I created the props. Besides the urban legend of just 'spoons' the cons made an electric drill from a vacuum cleaner motor. Which I recreated for our film shoot, America's Most Wanted version of the escape, made possible by Acme scenery co.

I got news for you mister tower man .., The three men that escaped made a raft. They found the raft at Angels island. They found footsteps leading away from the raft. From there a car was stolen. What does that tell you. They didn't just get in the water and that was it. That's why they constructed a raft that made it to Angels island. Than from Angels island you could get anywhere from there.It's funny to hear these Old-Timers who work there they still have a certain pride about such an ugly place like Alcatraz. Those three men made it and partied it down for the rest of their life... and they deserve it!!!
