NEWLY RELEASED FOOTAGE has shown two inmates escaping from a prison in Canada on a helicopter.
The footage of the 2013 prison break, made public yesterday, shows Danny Provencal and Benjamin Hudon-Barbeau attempting to climb a rope dangling from a helicopter which landed on the Quebec prison’s roof.
The video was recorded by guards at the prison. CTV News reports the escape was planned via text messages on phones smuggled into the jail.
In the footage, the helicopter can be seen taking off, with the two men clinging to the rope, hanging from the hijacked helicopter.
The men were later tracked down by police and arrested.

Sherpa’s are the unsung heros of Everest, without them a lot of rich people would never get to tick it off their bucket list
@Bikes rule the world: So true, all the fanfare for wealthy westerners returning from climbing Everest and barely a mention for these guys, I had never heard of this person until now but his achievements surpass pretty much all of the well known Everest climbers
Amazing he went up Everest 10 time & rest in peace
10 times ….. Everest…. legendary!!!!
@Declan Kelly:
Brave and loyal mountaineer like Lopsang Jangbu who tried to save Scott Fisher
Unique people
Sherpas are the ethnic people of the Himalayan region, sherpas are the guides. He was a sherpa but was he a Sherpa?
