1962 Alcatraz escape

The 1962 Alcatraz escape involved three inmates—Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers—who devised a clever plan to escape from the supposedly inescapable Alcatraz prison. Using homemade tools, they altered their cell walls and crafted dummy heads to fool guards. Over several months, they expanded a tunnel behind the walls and created life-like decoys. One stormy night, on June 11, 1962, they crawled through the tunnel, climbed down a drain, and escaped via the shoreline in makeshift rafts and life vests. Despite extensive searches, they vanished, and their fate remains uncertain, fueling speculation they successfully escaped or drowned.
