Can the MythBusters Escape "The Rock"?

In 1962, three inmates of Alcatraz prison attempted a daring escape from "The Rock" using an improvised raft made of raincoats. After disappearing into the night, the prisoners were never heard from again. Most believe they perished in the strong tides and frigid waters of San Francisco Bay, but was a successful escape possible using their methods?

Exactly, the three men would now be 87,88 and 91 years old. Even if they came forward today and told their story they would still be arrested and shipped back to prison. If they really want to see if they are still alive today they should drop all charges against them and promise them complete immunity if they come forward.

I looked this up and the supposed leader Frank Morris was a class A Escape Artist of the US prison systems. He was tested as having an IQ of 133, so Frank didn't just come up with this, he took his time, studied everything around him and possibly pulled off the only true escape from Alcatraz. I honestly would love to see a film about this happening

Exactly right

[@Breathofdeathh]

If the raft was even half as capable of that one, it would have easily provided enough shelter from the frigid water where three men…who were incredibly smart, strong and experienced could make an escape. No doubt in my mind these guys got away, pushed the raft back out into the water, threw his wallet (which was wrapped) into the water knowing it would wash up (because why would you keep anything that connects you to your past) and knew they’d be ruled dead. Genius

[@dynjarren8355]

The Mythbusters just proved that it could have worked and they could have made it across safely. The Triangle design of the boat is very smart and not what they showed in the movie. In the movie, they were leaning on a Raft and would have gotten wet and numb from the cold water. But if this is the real design it definitely could have worked. And the fact that no bodies were ever found is more evidence that they made it. That Warden in the movie kept saying they all drowned because he didn’t want to have egg on his face and look bad. They were all outsmarted and made to look dumb with those dummies in the beds. I’m impressed with the Triangle Raft design. It looks very efficient and sturdy. I think they made it and I really enjoyed the movie anyway. That warden was incredibly cruel and went out of his way to prove it every day . He didn’t want anyone to admire these three or think they had any abilities or brains whatsoever. He’s one of those toxic people I avoid in general. They way he dismissed them all! They all drowned. Only they never found any bodies.

[@jackhackman7777]

I 100% believe they made it

[@christinaify]

My personal opinion, the brothers involved made it. John and Clarence Anglin were extremely talented swimmers who "...amazed their siblings by swimming in the frigid waters of Lake Michigan as ice still floated on its surface." So I believe the raft probably failed at some point between Alcatraz and their destination, but that whatever length they'd managed in that raft was sufficient for two experienced cold water swimmers to get to shore. As for the third guy, I believe he drown.

I have a theory about the ore and why they never found the raft. They simply tossed the ores back at sea. They also popped the raft before throwing. The ore at Angel Island may just bee there by coincidence due to a different current in the morning

[@csds7679]

I was thinking the same thing, that when they reached land, what ever land they landed on, they popped it or destroyed it somehow. It couldn't have been that hard to do, if they were smart enough to escape they were smart enough to hide their trail and throw off police. I mean that is the whole point and plan of escaping, throwing off police.

[@snooze7791]

Exactly and who's to say that they had planted evidence...or they could've had someone take it there....just to throw police off like you said

[@WhiskeyToro]

@@snooze7791 I have the same theory... except I believe they popped/cut the raft and used it as a sort of overcoat to hide their prison clothes and disguise as homeless as they made their way through the city to their point of contact. Got the hell out of SF and the bay area immediately, altered their hair/look, and then straight to South of the border. Anywhere was better than Alcatraz.

[@Ken_Scaletta]

The authorities didn't want the public to know anyone had made a successful escape so they exaggerated the danger and the likelihood that they were dead. The reality is that people swim from Alcatraz to SF all the time, including old ladies and children. It's marathons, not easy, but people do it. Those guys spent a lot of time planning and executed everything perfectly. Morris reportedly had a genius IQ and it kind of shows in the planning. The key was their patience. They never rushed. They never slipped up.

No one really cares if someone leaves the US illegally. They only care if someone is trying to get in without going through the legal process. I have always thought they escaped successfully.

Aside from wanted posters that are going to get old due to newer cases taking their place.

Why does the movie and many documentaries depict a "log-like raft" ? The men would have known about the freezing waters and never used such a design. A raft like this one was much more likely. They had 6 months and 15 jackets to "play around with". And the "deadly currents" actually provided them with an express lane out of there.

They drowned. The raft was never found because it sank to the bottom of the lake and either got stuck or was dragged out to sea. The men were never heard from again because they all died. Most prison escapees are caught before they even escape prison. Those who escape are normally caught shortly afterward. There have been extraordinary cases where prison escapees have managed to evade capture for decades, but they often had help from the outside. No one can ever know for sure, but it is extremely unlike that they survived. This proves that it could have been done, but none of them had the experience Adam and Jamie has, nor did they have the resources.

[@Rocketman0407]

Of course they survived. The challenges are greatly overblown. Such as the water being Ice cold. The most fascinating thing was how they worked on the project for so long without being caught using fake heads.
