The Great Escape from Alcatraz
Ingenious Raft Construction
Alcatraz, the rock-solid fortress, was supposed to be escape-proof. But in 1962, Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers proved otherwise. With raincoats! Yes, they stitched together a raft from raincoats and created makeshift life vests. The prison, surrounded by icy waters and patrolled by guards, seemed impenetrable. But these guys navigated through tunnels and pipes, reached the roof, and launched their raincoat raft into San Francisco Bay. A DIY project at its finest!
Vanishing Act
Despite a massive manhunt, Frank and the Anglin brothers disappeared like ghosts. Did they survive? No one knows. Their escape remains one of the greatest mysteries of Alcatraz, sparking countless theories and Hollywood movies. The trio’s daring adventure turned “The Rock” into a legend of its own, proving that even the toughest prisons have their cracks.
