When Drug kingpin Joaquin 'El Chapo' escaped from a maximum-security Mexican prison, the most impressive part of the escape was its sophistication, planning and execution. A tunnel dug approximately 60 feet (19 meters) underground, complete with rails for a small cart and extending for about one mile (1.6 km).

On the other hand, as a BBC article points out, sometimes the low tech approach is just as effective.


What is the most amazing or wackiest escape attempt you have heard of? Was it successful?
