Using a helicopter to escape has got to be one of the most ingenious plans to date! Absolutely brilliant!!!

[@curtispandachuk9323]

It’s common sense it’s not genius 😂 like what else are you gonna do crawl over the fences that have all that nice little Barbwire

[@Jonathan.D]

It's far from the first time that it was attempted. I think the first was in the early 70s in Mexico. I believe it's been tried more than a dozen times.

[@pioneercynthia1]

No matter how terrible the criminals or horrific the crime, when someone actually escapes, I find their ingenuity amazing. It's sad they couldn't use that brain power for something better.

You cant your paranoia and also lack of money will be your down fall

[@kuntekinte2687]

@@moneytttt1140 in his case his paranoia helped him evade cops across several states for years even in the middle of a national wide manhunt , He also wasn't planning on staying in Australia and chances are if he made it out it would have been much harder to catch him.He was always 3 steps ahead he knew how the system worked and the flaws within it he was very resourceful and had multiple fake identities which back then could see one get to a non extradition country easily. I'm sure if it wasn't for Brad he could have made a clean break but knowing him what would have bring him undone was he was hooked on robbing banks without it he suffered deep depression it was his trade.

[@Jonathan.D]

​@@moneytttt1140Is your lack of grammar yours? Being dyslexic I'm not one to nit pick, but I don't know what you're trying to say.

[@greyhound3561]

Brendan Abbot and his mate approached me in Mitcham, Melbourne's Outer East not long before the shootout with authorities in Box Hill, I knew about him and as soon as I was asked by him where the local Doctor was - (who had a sympathy for addicts and was known to write scripts for opiates) - I knew who I was dealing with, I could see the mate of Brendan`s was dope-sick, so I just pointed out where the Dr was and was glad they hadn`t just robbed me of my scripts....

[@patrickrooney5130]

Great episode's but its a pity about the music.

[@gemmaophillips923]

Just to touch on what you said about the character of the buildings in Birkenhead and how they make you feel. I've always been very atune to the feelings a place give me .I moved to Cornwall from n.ireland 2 years back I new when I went there for a weekend that I'd end up living there . I was do drawn to the place and the character of the area with its smuggling mining and fishing industries. 3 things I have worked at in my life and I got a real feel like I'd been there before in a past life. I love going to the old mines touching the stone building I get a real sense of the people that worked here in days gone by . Has anyone else had similar experiences ? 🤘

[@Mohjoe62]

As the helicopter takes off you see a inmate clapping his hands

[@JE4-1]

Killick's first wife, Gloria was my upstairs neighbor here in Adelaide for a while....absolutely lovely lady. I hope she found happiness.

[@chrisbills389]

Are you sure?😅

[@BensonAndHedgers]

Yeah that's what they said about the Cray twins. "Lovely boys them twins used to buy flowers for their muva". 😂

[@BlazeBuds]

Stop listening to me KZbin! Me and a mate talk Australian crime and he asked me if I heard of the postcard bandit

[@mauriutzkaramazov3520]

They should free him, how can he repeat offend if it’s not worth robbing banks anymore

[@Kirsty-fj7tj]

Fremantle prison closed sometime in the 1990’s. It’s a tourist attraction now. Also I agree with comments about freeing Brenden Abbot. It’s well and truly time.

[@TheConorsmithusa]

Postcard bandit was also a 2003 movie based on him. I never seen it though

[@allanmaccaul1465]

My favourite movie..👌👌

[@Darknight46349]

Why Val kilmer doing interviews in this show!?

[@shoveldoggermafia]

Peter Stirling before his sporting career.

[@Adelaide-audits.]

Sean bean how'd you got the time for this, and killing the dragons!??😮

[@fukkyoutube]

the helicopter escape was actually brilliant for the time even if the jet had been sent on time 3 minutes wouldn't have been enough time to intercept

[@ecs64lurker]

Background Music IS TOO LOUD IT IS COVERING OVER VOICE AUDIO

[@user-dg3fy6hy8k]

41:27 Brendon Abbott let him of bc it was his jail house lover as the papers were says.

[@user-ke6oh3ov2w]

At the British prison, the warden said. There's nothing else his guys could have done nothing else. Anybody could have gone, but then they fixed the problem.

[@marlenewolffe4613]

Wish they would make a documentry on Ayden Dardigan best Zimbabwe escapee

[@Leon-lt5gv]

What did he escape from a straw hut 😄

[@Unflappable43]

Free Brendon already who is preventing his release? Whoever you are let go of your ego and free him. Pedophiles ruin lives not bank robbers

[@Gregsheppo66]

He didn’t send cops postcards. That’s garbage. Cops found undeveloped film in a car he used & when they printed them off they contained photo of Abbott on holiday with other Asain tourists.

[@user-dg3fy6hy8k]

They didnt say he did ya Goose.

[@gerrymarlowe5541]

Correct! No postcards to the cops although the media loved saying he did.

[@adske1986]

Yes they did .thats why they name him postcard bandit😂😂😂

[@5272paul]

⁠​⁠@@user-dg3fy6hy8k The description reads ‘In australia a fugitive sends photos of himself to authorities.’ Ya Goose

[@funkylittlespacecowboy2372]

Not this video being like "these criminals were turned in by their own kind!!!" and it was homeless people. What cruel people made this video?

[@iiiKingLongSwipeiii]

I know right the video creators are POS

[@dean4817]

Yes free Brendan ✌️

[@Yaya_716]

NEVAAAAAA!!!! DEAD OR ALIVE!!! 😂😢😮😅

[@felixjones9198]

It's time to free Brendan Abbot.

[@snorungar70]

Musik to loud unwatchable

[@Leon-lt5gv]

The policman at the begining hates it ' calls them every name under the sun jelousy gets ya knowhere 👌

[@suehamilton5879]

it’s 2024. Enough is Enough. Free Brenden Abbott

[@peterwikaire5015]

yeah, I agree, I think the humiliation he put on the cops in their eyes is worse than the crimes!

[@user-ix8mj4be5g]

Is he rented will ab. Remember him years mad he used to have lovely garden but if you kicked the football he's used to go mad probably nothing to do with him

[@kuntekinte2687]

don't mess with banks its wasn't just the cops he embarrassed but banks also. They had to make an example out of them .

[@Heath-kq9sy]

​@@peterwikaire5015⁶0⁰😊

[@Adelaide-audits.]

​@@user-ix8mj4be5gwtf?😅😅😅

[@christopherbenson221]

I find the format irritating, skipping back and forth. I’m done.

[@tonycarbone6247]

Their has only been 3 absolute true blue England decents true blue Aussies in my book , ned Kelly , John killick , and of course Brendan abbott, I know if he didn't have the heart and soul to stay loyal to the young guy who got him out I know Brendan would be still running around ,
