Escape from alcatraz.

[R[s]T]

read the story somewhere @ www.alcatrazhistory.com

I just saw the movie and, well, is it possible for the escapetees to survive? The odds are against them but do you think at least one made it alive?

I saw a TV show where they tested it using the same exact methods that one reportedly used... and they actually were able to do it.

I like to think that one or more of them made it. It is a guards duty to keep them locked up, and it is a prisoners duty to try and escape.

Yeah definiely they could've escaped alive, yeah the odds were stacked up against them but there is always a chance of a organised escape working.

Two high school students swim from Alcatraz to Fisherman's Wharf -- something most prisoners were unable to do.

I saw that show, and apparently they had tipped the guards to search on Angel Island while they rode the currents down to some place by that golden gate was it? I forget..but the reinactment was sucessful

I assume they all tried to escape during the summer or MAYBE spring? I'm sure the waters would be too cold in fall or winter. Hell, in winter they could die from hypothermia..

Alcatraz is off the coast of San Fransico, I was under the impression it never got that cold there,

Mostly false. The guards, and employees there spread rumors of the shark infested waters to help prevent escapes. When infact that was false. The water is to cold for sharks.

Anyway, the movie rocked. I seriously cannot say whether I think they survived or not. I am 50/50 on it. I would put my bet on that they died though.

By the looks of the movie I bet they escaped.
