Escapee at Large


Earlier today, Robert Wright, a hardened Alcatraz convict escaped from the heavily guarded fortress prison. Wright swam from the island but was momentarily apprehended by able-bodied seamen in a US Coast Guard patrol boat, but Wright overpowered the crew and jumped back into the water and swam to shore. He then took off on a bicycle and led authorities on an 18 mile chase before abandoning the bike and running for another 8 miles before the search was called off. Wright is at large but due to extreme fatigue he is probably not very dangerous.

  1. Congratulations for completing that tough event. By the way, your facial expresion at the start of your mission video is much uglier than the "tomorrow we break out" photo.
