why did they set the test rig so far off the shore, from where the island is , you know if science showed its possible they wouldent have a episode to post , since they dident find a body lets assuume they dident make it , and that they just dident fle the country or change there names
thumbs down for the repetition. the same lake draining animation and description over and over.
3:19 Benedict Cumberbatch…your not fooling anyone
Ironically being in such a small craft might have helped them . I'm thinking about aerodynamics admittedly but there's some similarity. For example my car is much smaller than the 18 wheeler I drive . Using the difference between the 2 in the winds leads me to believe there must be a similar effect between small and large water vessels . The smaller the drag surface the easier it should be to control or manipulate its path .
I don't think they all made it but even as someone who doesn't gamble I have to admit the idea that at least one of them made it is plausible.
I do not believe those three famous escapees were so capable as to do what they did but then so ignorant as to ignore the tide. The number of years having passed been so many, I have to think if they survived that one of them would have made something like a death bed "confession".
Would have been an interesting hustle for some elderly coot to claim he was one of them.
drain also in philippines in corregidor
luar biasa❤❤❤
Should of been doing a lot more cardio 🤣
I think there's Klingon Bird of Prey at the bottom of the ocean near the bridge.
With that that kind of genius and drive, they probably made it to the shore.
I love National Geograpic Documentaries!
Clint Eastwood escaped!
I sawed Mythbusters, it is plausible.
I was really interested to watch this but the way the commentary is done is painful to say the least. It's not a big dramatic thing but something that would be very interesting to watch if the commentary was done in a more professional manner.
Hate to break it to you but whether or not they made it to land they escaped from Alcatraz.
Actually the world's most notorious prison is ADX Florence, and I'm still waiting for a documentary, if it EVER surfaces.
"Most infamous on Earth? wth, most people on Earth have never heard of it, try North America and that is just, "well known". I really don't like sensationalism.
Chances are that maybe one or two were caught in the eddy and the other (others) navigated past the bridge. So in my view if not all one or two survived
they did make it there was a boat out in the water waiting for them and they went to brazil…
C'mon NG, no mention of John Patrick Mason's escape?!
great
I can’t stop laughing just got started watching this and the first thing the guy says being on an island in San Francisco Bay during an earthquake could be the safest place there’s this little thing called a tsunami I’ve been on Alcatraz multiple times grew up in the San Francisco Bay area the last place I want to be is on an island in the bay just saying
drink a shot everytime the word "drain" is mentioned. Good luck
👍❤
The escape was SUCCESSFUL, but pride made the popo deny that. Family photos proved they got away.
No doubt Alcatraz had a long history. But, I would like to see National Geographic do an episode addressing the occupation of Alcatraz by the Indians of All Tribes (20NOV69 – 11JUN71). Thanks for posting and be safe 🙏
Alcatraz was a psychological prison. You had to get transferred there.
Lot of people believed those 3 prisoner escaped.
A boat without lights found near the Rock the night of the great escape, according to the local police, a stolen car and many more, could be the missing pieces of the puzzle of the true story about Frank Morris's team.
