Did the Escape from Alcatraz succeed in 1962? It appears so!

On 11 June 1962, three detainees escaped from Alcatraz, which was then one of the most secure prisons in the world.

The mystery of the three prisoners remains intact to this day and was already the subject of many conspiracy theories and documentaries. In 1979 the story was filmed as 'Escape from Alcatraz', with Clint Eastwood in the lead. In San Francisco, the Alcatraz tour with a view of the famous cells and their gaping hole is one of the most popular tourist attractions.
