The letter was sent in 2013 and we are just hearing about it now?
sshortguy1 I think there alive
xLittleBoy- 2 died one is alive and almost dead so he wants to go to jail for one year to get free medical attention lol
Unknown Savage the letter was not from him it was fake
It’s so easy to disappear and never be found these days
Unknown Savage Hodgetwins picture LoL
He's 3 billion years old. Of course his handwriting wouldn't be as neat & precise as it was before
He's like 90 wtf
Cool Dude 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why
@@criticalopsbata898 someone is "smart"
Ninja You really bad at math. Go back to school.
They all made it! They just don't want to believe because Alcatraz was 'escape-proof', these guys were smart enough to make it, specially Frank Morris!
I met morris personally and i went shopping with his wife, but i forget wearing my pijamas that day
Frank Morris wasn’t the smart one , there was 4 guy and that guy was the mind of the escape
@@lynxestxmp1932 Frank Morris had an IQ of 133. He was the smart one.
Raj Kumar i had a stroke reading that
They did make it. The FBI will never admit it because that's a punch to their ego.
Make the deal. Hes sick and old,it doesnt matter anymore
Even if your old or sick you can still be put to jail unless your 99
Rafa UA-cam They would still lock them up, to be able to say that they got you and to save face. The wouldn't care how sick you are.
frank morris and anglin are legend.
Prison is meant to rehabilitate people, that’s what the government forgets about. If they made it 50+ years without getting into trouble, let them be. They deserve it, the prison system lost, get over it. USA needs to learn how to admit defeat.
DB Cooper is a legend also
I'm still alive MADAFAKAS
Clarence Anglin dayum
Is this you?
Lol
😂😂
Lol
They won't make the deal because they know they survived. They don't want to look bad so they stick to saying they died
This.
This is 100% true. If the FBI made the deal and he came out then that would ruin the FBI's reputation.
Is anyone alive from then who might give a damn.
its his hand writing so obvious
Wait really? I kinda thought it looked different than his original writing
@@Jtyonbronruss in 50 years theres no say it will be exactly the same
I believe they escaped. Props to them :)
Melt For real
yea.... they did escape. they knew that seinc the day they escaped.....
Yea they did escape cause the raft made of rain coats and life jackets they only had to traval a couple miles to angle island
Those guys are Legends
Theyre still out there
Theres no way the Government cant get them. I think theyve been respectfully allowed to be free after their legendary escape
Mitch Silva nah they're all dead like he had cancer for 4 years definitely dead and the other 2 died from old age/natural causes.
@@oscarmata1853 yeah I don't think he could have gone to check and to get healed
Mitch Silva LEGENDS!
We don't know if they're all dead we only know 2 of them is dead,3 Including the guy that died at Alcatraz, that guy that had cancer he could be dead right now or he could be alive we really don't know but it's likely he's dead

I remember, as a kid in 1962, seeing a TV program examining this matter. Amazing that it still makes news today.
The Government would never say “Damn they made it”. Until they show me proof they didn’t, I believe they did make it.
Gary Rush I'm sure they did because after they escaped that night a vehicle was reported stolen
My thoughts exactly!
The Shield where u saw that
Gary Rush I low key cheer they made it, it makes a cool story
Highly improbable. They were in and our of jail their whole lives, if they made it out, they wouldn't be able to get a job let alone become law abiding citizens. They'd have slipped within a year and been caught.
The police simply don’t want to admit they escaped and made the police/ correction look like idiots
I escaped and pack a punched my ray gun
Underrated comment
Ray gun or Ray gun mk2
Mob of the dex
Dead*
I haven't played BO2 in years
The best prison escapees never get found. They vanish and leave us guessing.
it must be horrible living on the run
Better than living in jail
They were bank robbers. They had cash stashed away
Juanita Mullen really cold water. Bay Area water is cold. Considering during the night the water could been around 30-35 degrees .
guest man thats not that cold at all to swim 😂
cold enough to see a whale there. i drive on hwy 101 and see whales.
What harm could there possibly be in just accepting the deal, you either find out it’s fake, or find a man who people have been searching for for like 50 years
whats more awesome ,,, to think they might have gone back as visitors when it reopened as a tourist site MUAHAHAHAHHA
that would have been amazing and ironic HAHA
Years later I bet Frank would have walked to his cell that the tourists are at and be smiling while thinking "These idiots have no idea."
@@sarahkilo3606 lol
I doubt that. It's funny to think about though. But I'm sure they stayed the heck out of SF. Went you're on the run you don't go back into the sharks mouth.
I escaped too. But I will make no deal.
Really? Because I don't believe you
Can't tell you more than I already have told you.
susub75 shut up
When you crave attention
so u did know da wae?
And that’s how Prison Break got inspired to do the show
Hello People yes! And I love that show! Pretty smart and obvious tbh on what they did to escape. I know it wasn’t easy but it’s quite obviously.
actually it was 4, one was left behind 🙄
3 escapees
The 4th escapee couldn't fit through the hole he made so he talked with them before they left him behind. Several hours later he eventually made the hole big enough to fit through and made his way to the roof but his 3 escapees were long gone so he was left with 2 decisions.
1. Swim with no raft and almost certainly die.
2. Go back to his cell.
Sarah Kilo The plaster toughned upp and he couldnt take off the fake wall
The 4th guy only had a few years left was released like 8 years later
They seriously believe that an old decrepit mans hand writing should match the handwriting of his younger self to be conclusive? That is a delusional belief. Of course they escaped. Even if the raft blew and sank, they could have all swam to the shore and got away clean. They had a 9 hour head start before sunrise to do it all, the lack of technology at the time just made it more difficult to gather evidence.
The bay was cold that night, but any man could have survived for little over for two hours before going into shock. That is just a regular swim, but we're talking about 3 men swimming for their lives. Imagine the anxiety and fear they have to endure when they are so close to freedom, when you get that far into the plan you cannot simply back out; that fear and anxiety turns into desperation. They would have had the will to pull off the swim. But assuming they actually made it on the raft, they would have been smart enough to keep it to avoid exposing where they made landfall.
GeneralZoot not to mention that the Arlington brothers were the best swimmers in their family. They were said to go swimming in ice cold water just for fun
GeneralZoot, exactly and well said!!
Percy anglin Where tf did you get Arlington
Alan Thornton i think it was a typo, Arlington is a character in a video game based off this escape
Did u watch the movie like me escape from alcatraz?
Brothas surely knew da wae
Abdallah Noor If they escape they no de wae
We must carry out there legacy by knowing de wae
Ugandan Knuckles indeed
*I Agree My Brotha!*
Ma boodah de devil showed dem de wae out of prison. P.S watsapp
2020 and still wondering 🤔🤔🤔
I've been to Alcatraz...I got to see all the cells...pretty cool!
They will never admit that these guy's made it out. Failure is not an option.
why is this on my recommended 1 year later
2013 came out...am sorry, which year are we in.

@@lilpp4791 no? It's still 2019
Nooo I want to see him after all of this
Back when people can actually escape prison 😭😭
People still do. You'd be amazed what meticulous planning can do.
They are heroes, rest in peace those who passed away
3:22 someone’s salty
RIP to all 3 of them
I wrote about this for a current event for my history class
So interesting. I believe they made it. I definitely want to know
Handwriting is bad testing cause I can change my handwriting whenever I do everyday
I hope they made it.
Amazing I can’t wait to see the movie
ive been in alcatraz its sad :c
The feds shoulda just swallowed their pride and accepted they got defeated because I really wanted to hear more from Anglin on how they escaped.
I hope they it safe and enjoying their freedom. 🙏🏿
Let them tell their story!
Law enforcement don’t want to admit that the escape happened. It would make them look bad.
Amazing...
If they seriously say they're dead then take him up on the offer.
The fact they wrote a letter and 50 years later they still don't believe they made it, they have won.
I think that is so real
New evidence shows that there was one boat that left the Rock shortly before or after midnight for a employee shift change. and with the history of the brothers shows that they more than likely tie a rope or something to that boat it was pulled the boat to shore...
Interesting...
Tie the raft to a boat full of prison guards? Idk.
Adam Honesty and decency...I don't think I buy that story either, why would they tie a rope to a boat full of prison guards, it sounds kinda crazy.
Shawn Gifford, I read that also. But if it was a prison guard boat, I just don't think they would be so crazy to do such a thing and risk being seen.
True
Interesting how the dude who was left behind went on to reoffend...I think that the thought that he could have made it out in arguably one of the greatest prison escapes in history must have haunted him
Wow this is so cool
3:03 something appears in the water then dissapears next to right shoulder of the reporter .
It must have been pretty cool for Frank when he saw Clint Eastwood playing him in the movie 😉
Everybody knows their alive 😂😂 Except the government
There are photos of the anglins from 1975!
So they are saying that the Correction Facilities don't really "correct" "rehabilitate" anyone. It is just a name because inmates go right back to a life of crime. Could it not be possible that the escapees decided to obey the law for the purpose of avoiding ending up back in prison? Why not???
BingCherry11 great argument ... you sure have a good point.
Right, they escaped for a reason. I think it was to live a new life, where they ARENT IN PRISON, and go back to a normal healthy life
I meaannnn ik this is old, I’d agree with you that they escaped for a new life but there’s been people who have escaped and went right back to the same lifestyles (el chapo) has escaped many times and he goes right back to crime🤷🏾♂️
@@sauce2different You forgot about the people that escaped and give up crime for the purpose of not getting caught. Not everyone goes back to crime and after being in a max security prison it's entirely possible they didn't want to take a chance of going to prison again
Are the police in the government don't want us to think that but that's what they get for assuming that's my point had they done something majorly wrong or corrupt like they had they would have been caught and put back in prison they eventually found out who they were and that they had escaped they made it and they lived way outside of town and did what they had to do to get by to avoid being the government and the police just don't want us to believe that if they didn't believe they were alive a few years ago I watched a deal on America's Most Wanted I believe the FBI they still have these men as wanted and spending money looking for them when they knew they were in their 70s so they thought they had died and didn't make it why did they still have them on the FBI list and looking for them
Exactly what "source" did that letter come from?
They could have changed their lifestyle just due to getting a second chance at life. I think people who leave jail legally don’t change because of the difficulty of society and the stigma placed on ex convicts. They were bank robbers which after being at Alcatraz and surviving the miracle escape is probably one of the easier crimes not to go back into.And there is no social stigma due to new id.
Either way they are legends and will remain so.
I hope they did make it out and alive.
I would have make a deal atleast just to hear the story how they made it.
And the dude got cancer too just need some one to take care of him.
This is not what i saw in mob of the dead
Je5us367 for real
This is nothing like the source material smh
I am from Florida where they were from Ruskin is where we raised. There Mom and John lived across the street from us , there brothers and sisters lived there to. There nices and nephews grew up with me we were friends and went to school together.
Hope it's TRUE 👍
I just wonder what happened too them
They didn't 🏊 they maid a raft
Way to go, if you made the deal he could have been interviewed and that would be sick to hear!
I know all about it!
Just hearing about this in 2020.
Can they make the deal? Like it would be so amazing if he reallt did escape alive
Wondered if they had done the Alcatraz tour...
They had a makeshift raft
Its was 4 people but those three people killed the other person
I hope they made it
What are they going to die put them back in prison for the next 4 years of there life
I remember when I first heard about this story when I was in junior high. I always wondered if they really did escape back then but after hearing this news story perhaps they did it's just another one of those mysteries in US history.
Everything is possible
Damn
Now I am confused.
58 years today
I believe Frank Morris, worked as a janitor, for the sheriff's office in Inverness Florida, for years..many years ago
People like this annoy me. He probably about to die and these people consider to take the case for 4 years when he will probably die. And even if they do speak on the news and get nothing whay will even happen to them
Even though, I don't think the letter is really from John Anglin, I do believe they made it and I hope they did, the escape was brilliant, all led by Morris. If any of them are still alive, what an amazing deathbed confession and where they could prove it's them by a dna testing.
80 years liveeeee!
Oh my god
Never caught
Dang
Yooo damnn
Now I want to look at the movie
That letter was written by an old person. there is a comma before 'and'. Younger people would not write like that.
Note. The "Birdman of Alcatraz" was no allowed to have birds there. He was at Leavenworth when found a nest and nursed birds back to health. He is The Birdman of Leavenworth, not Alcatraz. History got it wrong.
Alcatraz more like arkham asylum
They capitalized the first two words in the title then forgot to do the rest.
Did they really expect a man who's probably 90 yrs old with cancer will have the very precise pen stroke and handwriting as he had way back in 1962?
What a terrible place. No one should be confined to such a terrible place. Prisons don't have to be inhumane, but in america they are.
Marilyn Pizziferri most prisons here unfortunately are inhumane, because we have way too many criminals, the whole system is messed up, that's how it is though
Marilyn Pizziferri prisons everywhere are meant to be hard and not pleasurable. If you think American prisons are bad, do some research on Russian prisons
Marilyn Pizziferri most of these guys killed other people
It was four men only one could not get out
The 4th escapee couldn't fit through the hole he made so he talked with them before they left him behind. Several hours later he eventually made the hole big enough to fit through and made his way to the roof but his 3 escapees were long gone so he was left with 2 decisions.
1. Swim with no raft and almost certainly die.
2. Go back to his cell.
what about bill, fin, weasel and sal
The cell look exactly in the walking dead season 3
It is possible they made it. It is also possible they lived their lives law abiding citizens. Arrogant for them to say otherwise.
Indeed
Whered they get the letter
They're living in Brazil
Damn just imagine if someone found them. Wonder how much they got paid 💰💰💰
My take on the escape was they floated out to a boat picked up to a safe house.the money they had arranged for there new life arrived ,those who were looking after them shot the three escapees took the money buried them and end of them. I think it's impossible to stay away from the police even if a traffic stop by them your rumbled . definitely that's my version any comments
I read the book
