- 55 years ago this month, three men - brothers John and Clarence Anglin, and Frank Morris - pulled off one of the greatest escapes in American history. Betty Yu gets an insider's look at how they did it. (6-30-17)
Imagine the three of them go on a tour of Alcatraz,like regular tourists.
I saw a documentary years ago, one of the former guards was working the tour and swore that he recognised a guy on the tour but didnt realise until later in the day he was certain it was Frank.
Samuel Woods how is iT called
Whitey Bulger did time in Alcatraz, was free’d. Went back to a different prison, then escaped the second prison and visited Alcatraz while he was wanted
@@samuelwoods164 Whats it called?

Honestly... after watching the documentary... it was a well deserved escape...

sancho cfc love her or hate her she speaking straight facts
Yeah, really lousy how they put that together.
Coincidentally at the 1:16 mark, which is 911, upside down.
FBI: there's no way they survived. Also FBI: here's photos of what they would like now in case there still alive.
Nate Marin 😂😂🤣🤣😭exactly
The FBI is useless
They are alive though. They sent letters to high authorities
The FBI knew it.
@@ek7407 Even if they somehow survived I think that they would've likely passed away by now.
They earned their freedom. Move on guys.
Word tho I said the same thing
They earned it....? They were in prison for a reason. You don’t just makeup for all the wrong things you did because you’re clever.
Mikey Knight emotions drive people nowadays not logic, very weak people
@@mikeyknight292 Nonsense they beat the system at its own game. These guys are 90 years old. They win on GP!!!
The Artistic Boundaries Co. So if a rapist escapes from prison, thats okay because he earned his freedom?
Honestly, if you manage to escape a prison, and remain at large for so long, you kinda eearned your freedom.
Depending on why there in prison

@@iipixel8607 oh get over yourself, triggered.
my Grandfather was the FBI agent who first arrested the Anglin brothers and sent them to Alcatraz... they were bank robbers. I remember he would always sit with his back to the wall whenever we went out to restaurants to avoid anyone he had locked up sneaking up behind him to get revenge. And after he retired from FBI and CIA, the FBI would send an agent to his house every six months to interview him and make sure he wasn’t revealing secrets etc. they did this all the way into his 90s until he passed away. True story.
Noice haven’t seen your vids in ages
I definitely believe this isn't true. The brothers escaped a prison in GA and was caught and sent to alcatraz
lol thats cap
@@shushtwat9029I know right 🤣
🧢
You know Scofield was there
Don't forget Lincon
I was thinking this in my head as I read this haha
Ahahahh truee
They did imply in the movie that a fourth guy was involved. He couldn't get up the first chute and chickened out.
a real one over here
A presidential pardon should be given just in case they’re alive so that their story could be documented.
Toby Wood yes
nobody is going to drag a 95 year old to jail for escaping after 55 yrs, it's not like he's a serial killer
Ryan xxo sadly officials did mention that the men have to be past 98 for them to stop them from leaving
The government would never want to look weak and would never do that
Germany doesn't have laws against escaping from prison. The court interpreted their constitution giving citizens "the right to freedom" so that escaping is technically "trying to find freedom". So if you escape they let you go free
So this just popped up on everyone’s recommended?
i especially like the former inmate who is like a mini celebrity, signing autographs, using his claim to fame of knowing criminals
Yes, but I assumed that UA-cam somehow knew that I'd just watched Escape from Alcatraz, which also popped up on Netflix a few days ago. Is there some kind of anniversary that both sites are "randomly" pushing this event at the same time?
Pure Genius. To pull all this off while locked in a cell is almost unimaginable. Masterminds. I think they made it 👍
The will to escape
With help from Bumpy Johnson.
These 3 guys made a prison a tourists attraction. Imagine how much money that has earned for San Fransisco.
yeah I've always wanted to go there even thought I live there
It also made for a good Clint Eastwood movie.
@@joemckim1183 haha yeah love that film
"The Rawk hash become a tourist attrakshon"?
I wanted to go because of mob of the dead
Imagine they’re watching this in a nursing home laughing
Imagine they just saw ur comment
That is my brother
Imagine I am frank
Matthew Madruga he was literally just telling a joke, no one cares
Matthew Madruga , although your grandma is 100 and still in her own house she most likely has someone taking care of her and it basically like a nursing home. It’s also probably more likely that they’re in a nursing home or being token care of by someone
If they’re still alive, they deserve to be free for making such an escape happen..
They should be pardoned so they can come forward and tell their story before they die... If they aren't already dead.
Maybe if they did make it when they are dead their family will come out a reveal it
but if they come forward they will be sent back to jail
@@brittbyler1092 They would go to jail now if they came out???
@@krystalriley10 yeah if they were alive because they didnt serve they full sentence but they probably wouldnt cause of older age
According to the article I read, Frank died in 2008, Clarence in 2011 and John is still alive, have a cancer, I don't know if he still alive today.. what's the best part is John send an anonymous letter to the authority claiming he is one of the escapees however FBI didnt believe him. . yeahhh (sigh)
Well when you sit in a cell all day everyday you become pretty good at thinking
notagoon695 That’s the only thing you can do in jail...

FBI, I have a suspect :p
Hahahaha at these age, probably they already dead.
Whether they drowned or made it...they gained their freedom and never slept another night in that hell hole 😎
Theyd probably rather die trying than not try
For a “hell hole” it was actually pretty chill 🤷🏻♀️ (aside from the maximum security aspect)
@@JenCrystal spend alot of time there did ya 😂 nah it prolly was chill from time to time
@@RedEyedPatriot 😂 no but for a serious prison it had happy hour (like hobby times), a big library inmates could rent material from. I think on average each prisoner read 7 books and 3 magazines a month. Also the fact that you could put in requests like "i wanna move to a different cell" and it would be approved 😂 like it seems hella chill compared to other prisons I've heard of
The 3 escapees are watching this laughing

There ded

Qibs Technically we don't know if they're alive. They most likely died in the rapids.
They in heaven or hell idk
3:47 ‘what they might look like’
3:50 Well there’s the third guy.

I didn't see that coming
Makes me wonder if the guy that was in Alcatraz that I knew if what he said his name was was actually his real name?

@@leelunk8235 So what? There is still a decent chance he has passed away alredy.

That's probably not his only job...
I get you mn 😂😂😂
And 2 years later I’m still baffled to as why this is still in my recommended
I never doubted those guys made it out alive.
Let's build an inescapable prison surrounded by water....
Then let's give them books on how to build rafts. 😂
True, but if they did die trying to escape then the prison has a perfect record...thats why they want answeres even today, because they still cant claim it was perfect.
@@DukeApples don't think they died
And then they drowned
@@lgdude9050 maybe not...but still, its not impossible either way 😁😁😁
@@DukeApples true, and that's why it still remains a mystery to this day
36 attempts
23 caught
6 shot
2 drowned
3 escaped
2 won the lottery cos the prison cant keep count of the prisoners
Tony Yee I was thinkin the same like wtf happened to the other 2 (23+6+3+2=34) she said 36🤔🤔😆
Of those 36 attempts two of the men tried to escape twice.
*Legends say there are not humans*
Of the 36 inmates who staged 14 escape attempts, twenty-three were recaptured, six were shot and killed, two drowned, and five (three being Morris and the Anglins and the other two being Theodore Cole and Ralph Roe) are listed as "missing and presumed drowned”
I know, I was adding them as they were calling out the numbers. Two were missing from their stats. 😊
The smart outsmarted
When you're sitting there you'll be amazed the ideas you can come up with with a group helping you.
That's impressive but did you know Tony Stark was able to build an arc reactor in a cave with a box of scraps?
Killdynamite tony didnt build it the scientist with him did
The scientist built a polarized magnet to keep Shrapnel from going to his heart and keep him alive, Tony built the Arc Reactor that was used in the Iron Man suit during his escape. All you have to do is re-watch the movie to find out. It happens in like the first 5-10 minutes. XD
Stfu with your fake ass shit
Did you know there is vaginas out there ?
456 546465 making movie references and explaining the story makes a person a geek? Ok.
Just give up and accept the fact they outsmarted you fools

Actually it was built as a Civil War fort/prison.

If it weren't for these three guys daring escape, No One would be visiting Alcatraz today.
It wasnt just 3 of them. It was about 30 of them attempted to escape and these 3 were unaccounted for. Which they probably did drown tbh
@@charkee167 no they didnt
That and the notoriety garnered by original book and the subsequent Clint Eastwood film by the same name (Escape From Alcatraz).
@@charkee167 there was 4 of them that actually TRIED to escape, only 3 made it because one got stuck, and he MADE most of the plan...

@just Matt thanks my dude
Plot twist:
The guy interviewed "william baker" is one of the 3 guys
Actyally they are four, Frank Morries, Allen West and the Anglin Bro. Clarence and John...along the way, Allen West stuck so only the three got escape.
Just watched the movie last night and now youtube recommends me this. Scary.
Having done a lot of research the 3 escapees did make to shore. I believe they had someone waiting for them on the outside. And it is correct that they lived the remainder of their lives in South America (Brazil/Argentina). They’ve all since passed away. FBI and Alcatraz would never admit someone escaped from their custody.
To think American tax dollars are paying for a 14 year long investigation on an event that happened 50 years ago, RIP
It's not a full time investigation, just something that's still an open case and is occasionally worked on when new leads come up
Elijah Lawrence they’re still paying for it. Like who actually cares anymore they should be rewarded for their actions
@@elijahlawrence8010 but they use so many people Everytime it's just not even worth it. They escaped end of case.

Leonardo Cadena yeah the person that plays lincoln burrows said it on his twitter
Thomas the Dank Engine yes it was
Legend has it they started the escape room business.
Shame that with them hiding out weren't able to copyright the idea, they lost out on a small fortune.
There was four men, they drilled the hole when the inmates played there insturments (they could do that then) before lights out, they then stole rain coats they knew the guards never kept track, they also built a mini hide out above the sells where one of them sweeps for a prison job, he pushed dirt off so much that the guards eventually let him put up curtains so no guard would get dirty (good for the prisoners to make there workshop), they also learned how to work with paper mache to make fake heads with books from the Library, on the night of the escape three men fit through the holes, the fourth man made his hole too small so they left without him, when the guards did go to the shore after the escape numbers and addreses were found on paper in the water, they think they drowned, I think they did that on purpose and are now dead but had a laugh... and so goes the story....it was also said that there were make shift power tools and a whole workshop behind the curtains that NO GUARD noticed. (No one ever mentions the fourth guy smh and he was inportant to the WHOLE plan)
I find it hard to believe that not one of the three men were found washed up of floating after drowning so it leads me to believe that they made it alive, especially after all the detailed and patient planning plus they would have learned a fair bit after the many failed attempts. Of course, there has never been strong and or valid reports made one way or the other so I like to think that they made a successful escape.

Väldigt inresant att se och lyssna på
They deserved to be free that's one amazing escape and it's awesome how even after all these years this moment still stands the test of time I like to think that they'd made it and lived out the rest of their days in the sun & wide open spaces.
OffMeMeds just think all they did was stole some money, didn't kill or rape anyone so they can be forgiven, hope they made it but we may never know.
I agree
Joel T it's ok to steal from crooked white collar banks yessssssss
offmemeds I would only agree if their crime wasn't so bad. I'm not sure what they did but if it's something that didn't
result in murder or hurting or anything like that. Than yeah they can be free
Soviet Onion 72 apparently they sent anyonymous letters from south america to their families every year, but yes i hope they made it out and lived their lives, in secret i guess but still thats cool hope they were halpy

Sheer determination and the drive to never be locked away from freedom.. Imagine what that first bite of outside food was like, knowing you just took your freedom back.
Alcatraz guard: Our prison is inescapable.
Plaster head: I’m about to end this man’s whole career.

I took that tour about 35 years ago. They took us to the cell and showed us the plaster heads. They also took us to solitary confinement - really creepy, totally haunted!
They didn’t drown 😂 If he was smart enough to break out of a prison that was “escape-proof” then he would’ve been handy enough to build a solid raft, I doubt he’ll let water get in the way of freedom.
cgonz you understand how hard it would be to swim that far in those conditions right?
cgonz I do believe they made it out alive myself but swimming through those waters would be impossible, i want to say. I don't think even phelps can make that swim... i live in SF
In the video they mention that 2 others that tried to escape drowned. So...
Yeah and I’m pretty sure I watched a mythbysters episode that they proved it was possible
cgonz I was talking about two guys that tried to escape before these guys... but I might well be wrong, I haven’t looked in to this

Are you a dirty cop?
They recently found how they did it!
They hooked themselves to the last boat out and towed themselves about halfway out and then swam to a boat that was waiting for them!
how you know?
.
How do you know ?
It was in a documentary
Dustin Pomeroy which one
I saw one of those old dudes last Friday, he checked my receipt as i was leaving Walmart.
Seemed cool tho.
the whole time I was on the boat ride to Alcatraz I couldn't help but think "They navigated these waters?" It was very choppy that day, but it's a great tour & I wouldn't mind doing it again if we get back to normal times.
