So those three guys. Do you think they actually lived or died in the Pacific. I was just watching America's most wanted and it was an interesting story. The Prison refuses to say they escaped. The police believe they died in the ocean. The FBI has them on the missing list. And the one escapee who didn't make it out of his cell that night claimed to get a postcard verifying they made it. You make the call. I've long since forgotten the movie, but may just watch it again. ------------------ humble, but hungry.
They made it. Remember the flower that the warden found on the other side? ------------------ I'd rather be boinking my wife.
The story was on Unsolved Mysteries a couple of years ago (if we are talking about the same 3 guys). The show had 3 guys create a replica of the makeshift raft using the same materials. The show also had an Olympic swimmer swim the same distance. The swimmer made it across, but the 3 guys on the makeshift raft had to be rescued. They had gone off course and drifted into the Pacific. There are so many theories...were they met on the other side by someone or was someone waiting for them in a boat. They had to have outside help to make it across. ------------------
Are you guys refering to "Escape from Alcatraz" with Clint Eastwood? I love that movie. Its always a good night when I flip on TBS and its on. I saw a special on the Discovery Channel at like 1 am last night on a real prison escape from Mecklinburg Prison in Virginia, i think it was Virginia. It was pretty interesting. It might be worth watching if it airs again, assuming you find that kind of thing interesting. ------------------ - Beck Dream...bring back the goggles
But that flower was just in the movie. I think it would be interesting to think they made it, but SOMEONE would have told someone who would have told someone, etc... and it would have gotten out by now. I think all three died.
On a somewhat related note. Does everyone remember D.B. Cooper. He was the guy in Washington state that robbed a bank and then jumped out of an airplane to escape. They never found him but they always say that they think he was killed on the jump. Well an odd thing happened in my neighborhood about 12-13 years ago. I live in a neighborhood that is about 10 miles outside of Beaumont. It is mostly surrounded by woods. There is this one house on a street by itself and it is fairly secluded. About 12 years ago our volunteer fire dept. of which I was a part got a phone call to go to this house and that someone had been shot. We showed up at the same time as the police. We started giving first aid to the guy and he told us his wife went crazy and shot him in the leg. well not to far away the cops were questioning his wife. And she kept telling them that her husband had lied to her for many years and that she found some papers locked in a safe that proved that he was D.B. Cooper. It seemed kinda wierd to me and made me wonder about it b/c it was a really nice house and they looked like they had money. The last I heard of it is that they put the wife in the mental hospital for evaluation and the guy quickly moved out of town. Two weeks after the incident anybody passing by could tell that the house had been abandoned. It seemed strange at the time and every once in a while I laugh about it and tell people that I used to live down the road from D.B. Cooper. CK
Hahaha Thats just too funny! ------------------ Nice guys finish last ... and im surely not going to finish last!
The great LHutz strikes again. ------------------ Charles Barkley on TBS on the "fat track" poll: "What? 47% said I'd gain more.....why those.....they better be glad this is a family show."
