AND YET SOMEHOW THESE TWO IDIOTS FIUGURED OUT HOW TO DO IT?On the night of June 5, 2015, two MURDERERS, broke out of  a prison fortress thought to be impenetrable. A little after 11 p.m., they climbed through holes they had cut — over months, with tools smuggled in by a prison guard — in the cell walls. They snaked through tunnels and between walls and through a steam pipe, which took them underneath the prison. They popped out of a manhole on the other side of the prison wall.
