 The New York Times had an interesting article written by Robert D. McFadden, that was sent to me by Pamela Tom. Some excerpts: Tale of 3 Inmates Who Vanished From Alcatraz Maintains Intrigue 50 Years Later. Fifty years ago, on the night of June 11, 1962, the three convicts were locked down as usual. By morning, the inmates had vanished. Their breakout has been analyzed in countless articles, four television documentaries, a 1963 book by J. Campbell Bruce, “Escape from Alcatraz” and a 1979 movie of the same name starring Clint Eastwood as Mr. Morris. The noise of digging through thick concrete walls was hidden by Mr Morris playing the accordion each evening. They stole a small concertina from another inmate to serve as bellows to inflate a raft they had made of rubber raincoats. The Eastwood film implied that the escape had been successful. A 2003 “MythBusters” TV program on the Discovery Channel tested the feasibility of an escape on a raincoat raft and judged it possible. Is this the most unusual use of accordion bellows ever? |
