- gargantuan, on 06/23/2009, -0/+5Dugg because it's straight to the meat of the article with no crap attached.
- JParsons4, on 06/23/2009, -1/+5On a serious note, the show was pretty good, 'till season 4. Then it got stupid. SONA though, was pretty cool.
- Killbot2015, on 06/23/2009, -0/+4They forgot Vassilis Paleokostas. Lifted out of the same maximum security prison by helicopter twice and was still at large last I heard.

- skit4king, on 06/23/2009, -0/+3Some would agree it was the perfect ending.
- garvallagh, on 06/23/2009, -0/+2No mention of the 1983 break from Long Kesh
An entire wing of prisoners escape,from what was considered one of the most secure prisons in Europe... maybe in the top 10 in the world

"Eventually, the gang was nabbed, and the legend of Paddy Mitchell grew when he orchestrated a spectacular and dangerous escape from Joyceville Prison. With Lionel and Stephen already on the outside (Lionel stumbled into a successful escape in progress and Stephen walked away while on an escorted leave from the prison), Paddy induced cardiac arrest by running a couple of miles, then drinking a potion laced with nicotine.
“My heart began to beat so fast that I feared it might burst through my sterum.” The nurse on duty immediately called an ambulance, but thought it was too late to save Paddy. “I was dead, my heart stopped.”
As the ambulance raced to the hospital, Paddy had an out-of-body experience ending up at the gates of heaven where he tried to cut a deal with St. Peter in order to avoid 10,000 years in purgatory.
At the hospital, Stephen and Lionel diverted the ambulance to a back entrance; locked the driver, paramedic and two prison guards in the vehicle and quickly whisked Mitchell to an apartment where he spent a few days recuperating. Several days later, the gang crossed over into the United States and settled in Florida" - drewoconnor, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1What is with these dudes riding choppers out of maximum security and having really weak wikipedia pages??
- popstation, on 06/23/2009, -1/+2All this men have one thing in common, they didn't let no stupid prison get on their way
to the fiesta... - JoeParanoid, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1All good ones, but add the Gazans tearing down the wall that separated them from Egypt during the blockade.
- PedleZelnip, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1Was I the only one who saw the headline and expected a list of episodes of the TV show?
- thirtytwoutside, on 06/23/2009, -0/+0Wait... seriously? This counts as an article?! It's a list of wikipedia links. If this is what passes as journalism these days, information as we know it is *****.
- VAXcat, on 06/23/2009, -0/+0 Skorzeny rescuing Mussolini - flew him out in a Fieseler Storch.
- anubis05, on 06/23/2009, -1/+0The one they show at Shawshank Redemption that's no doubt the best .. I seriously hope someone will get inspired from the same and will flee from a prison . :D
- inactive, on 06/23/2009, -1/+0The escape of Fenians from Freemantle, Australia trumps all of these:
"Irish Escape revisits the story of what has been called the most outrageous escape story in the history of the high seas. In 1876, after 8 years of incarceration in Western Australia, 6 Irish political prisoners escaped on board the American whaler Catalpa. Under the pretext of a whaling voyage, the Catalpa and its unassuming captain had sailed from New Bedford to liberate the prisoners."
It required two years of planning, and the funding and secrecy of over 7000 Fenian loyalists.
