With that kind of effort Id say they earned it.
In Mexico it is not illegal to attempt or succeed in escaping prison. You will not get additional charges or time for attempting an escape or succeeding and then getting caught.
It is written into their constitution that the desire for freedom is a human right.
Same in Germany I think. But you will get extra charges if anything or anyone is damaged in your attempt
My understanding is that the act of attempting/succeeding at escaping is not illegal, but any illegal acts committed during the process are, so basically if someone leaves the door wide open and you walk out that’s not illegal but it’s next to impossible to otherwise achieve
Land of the free 🇲🇽🇲🇽
No almost needed, that’s dope.
I wish someone would go through the effort of learning how to pilot a helicopter just so I can be free…
How can you post this and not let us know if they got away or not?
Michel Vaujour had 28 years to serve for attempted murder and armed robbery; this was his fourth escape attempt. He made his way to the roof by threatening guards with a fake pistol and nectarines painted as grenades. On top of the jail he was picked up by his wife Nadine, who had taken helicopter pilot lessons especially for the escape. They landed at a nearby football pitch and fled in a waiting car.

The couple’s hideout was right back in Paris. Bold or foolish, they stayed in the city where they had just staged a daring escape. Three months later, they were caught not opening a charming coffee shop but robbing a bank—again. In the shootout that followed, Michel took a bullet to the head but survived. He was soon back in prison, his sixth escape attempt with a new accomplice, Jamila, ending in failure.
Nadine faced charges for her role in the jailbreak. Nevertheless, their bond remained unbroken. When asked about her extraordinary actions, Nadine famously said, “I would do it all over again.”
Nadine Vaujour, after serving her sentence, largely disappeared from the public eye. Her life since her involvement in the prison break has been shrouded in mystery, with little information about her current whereabouts. Some reports suggest she sought to live a quieter, more private life, far removed from the notoriety that the helicopter escape had brought her. The lack of public appearances and media engagement indicates that she may have distanced herself from her past.
You took he meme right out of my fingers. How the fuck you do get a bullet to the head and then try the same shit again? How the fuck fhose assholes manage to get girlfriends that do all that shit for them?
How the fuck you do get a bullet to the head and then try the same shit again?
Perhaps he was not unharmed by the bullet in the head
Mad
Bro didn’t know when to quit lol
Could have gone and became an action film actor at that point
You know normally I think the argument that people are less imaginative/creative than they used to be in the past is BS.
After reading the sentence “He made his way to the roof by threatening guards with a fake pistol and nectarines painted as grenades.” I think maybe that’s true
“List of helicopter prison escapes” is a new addition to my favorite Wikipedia articles
Want to share some articles from your favorites list? I need some entries in my newly created one. ^^
It’s more of a mental list but here’s a few off the top of my head.
Hiroo Onoda - Japanese soldier who continued fighting 29 years after WW2
I only knew that Wikipedia list existed due to a reference in XKCD
I’m not mad at it.
Ride or die.
Love knows no bounds?
…oh OK, very nice Mr…what did you said your name was?
Oh, one last question before we give you a pilots license, have you or will you have in the future a husband or wife or close relatively living in captivity at the moment?
Is the captivity legal or illegal, please explain.
Have had to purchase a rope ladder or just copious amounts of rope from the home Depot recently?
I love what you did there, but to be biblically accurate, they asked zero safety / security questions in the 80s.
“Have you ever used drugs, like cocaine?”
“No.”
“Oh, would you like some?”
She’s a keeper!
My old office was near Strangeways m and one day we saw a drone very conspicuously hovering high over the prison yard. Turns out that drones smuggling in contraband has become a major problem in the last few years.
Today someone would just watch a YouTube video and then steal the helicopter. Nobody wants to put the work in anymore.
The GTA generation
Final words: “I’ll just raw dog a helicopter. How hard can it be?”
Judging by Matt from Tech Diff doing it in a sub 2-hour lesson im going to go with: harder than the average idiot could handle, but if you’ve played like, any amount of games with 3d helo style movement it’s actually easy to pick up
Even easier if you’re already used to using your 4 limbs for different purposes (like riding a motorcycle)
This just made me think… people always complain about missing out on a future that promised them flying cars. Turns out that we have flying cars now. We just call them “helicopters” and it turns out they’re hard as fuck to operate.
A Cessna is also a flying car and they’re easy to operate.
and all it takes to own one is millions of dollars!

Scene opens: a still of a helicopter with blades sheared off after colliding with an electrical pole, sparks are spraying from the severed power lines. You can see the passenger seat, there’s a man in a jumpsuit peeling a nectarine painted like a grenade, looking worried and shouting. The camera pans to the pilot’s seat with a scrappy brunette a determined, but concerned look on her face. Cue record scratch.
Brunette: “Yup, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here.”
Screen fades to black. End scene.
That’s love
Why was the prison keeping him on the roof instead of inside the prison where he couldn’t escape? 🤔
Love takes us to strange places and makes us to do even stranger things…
I remember the first time I heard of helicopter prison breaks. What is so incredible is how common they actually where and the countermeasures developed against them.
If she wanted she WOULD
