Two convicted murderers bundled up clothes in their beds, then escaped from their upstate New York maximum security prison cells through catwalks and tunnels, officials said.
As a result of the deception, Richard Matt and David Sweat were accounted for during a morning bed check at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, about 20 miles south of the Canadian border, said New York State police.

They were caught a mile from Canada....where I live with my wife....they could of jacked my beer and maple syrup....
I was wondering if they were ever caught. how long after their escape were they caught?
3 weeks
Rip VanDam ....after the wife cooked them dinner first....! Maybe some poutine....!
Dhsbb Jdndnd ..... I am Canadian....4th generation Canuck... Part of being Canadian is being able to poke fun at ourselves....it's called having an open mind and embracing our traditions without prejudice.... It's a good thing I didn't say we could of had a game of road hockey after dinner....! 🇨🇦
😂😂😂😂..
It's not maximum security if you can escape
Patriots 4life
Good point.
Well it ain't called "perfect security"
True
What about Alcatraz
It is maximum and not absolute one :P
2:49 Cuomo was like “hm, that’s solid.” Like he was almost impressed by the escape😂
3:00 “must of kept you awake all night with all the cutting huh?”💀

He’s taking notes for when he ends up in there

No one:
Not even a damn soul:

They could've jacked my car. Wow doesn't even care about him
ik that's what I thought
Ikr!!! You could tell that was what the interviewer was thinking too
she said lucky to be alive and then talked about her car
Hey can u guys help me out with my chan im tryin to get to 1k subs
fuck no
wtf "they might have jacked my car". what about they might have killed me
exactly what i was thinking XD
they didn't break outta prison for murder to murder someone
exactly

People are stupid
Search didn't start till 5 hours after the escape, that's a long time for them to run
That’s a flight to Mexico
Yea I remember watching this when I actually watched some TV news
@@chiva9969 you need a passport for that, and it would’ve had to be them traveling by car/ bus going state to state and then crossing the border with the help of one of Mexicans that get paid to bring other Mexicans or Central Americans/ southern Americans to America which cost a lot talking thousands, they would’ve been caught leaving to another state
@@whatyoulookinforlol lmao bro you can literally just drive to Mexico with anyone's help 🤦🏻♀️
@@hansomesolo1136 they check the cars & trucks what do you mean.
Got give them credit for such a good escape and also for the guy who just jumped through the desk and ran for it
Some times an option is an option
@@eeveemaster8902 damn
This is why a maximum security prison should be in the middle of a desert
and the staff should just live there?
Tommy Fresh Right this guy sounds stupid
Area 51 is in a desert but a truck drives them try the whole desert so they prob have helicopter or cars
Nope we don’t need to house killers...you take a life (murder) then you should loose your life. If you are duly convicted, then you should be duly sentenced to die within a reasonable time, like, as soon as the judge finishes, then you are taken to the court house steps and executed. Just might deter some of the murdering.
Or the middle of the sea
Who else just randomly got this on your recommendation 5 years later? 😂
😂 me
Same
2020
I just watched the series on showtime... 🤔
ye ik its waffle cant hav this
How didn’t any guard or prisoners hear any of the power tools going off during the whole time ??
I’m assuming nobody cared lol
Cells of Maximum security prison are partially sound proofed, to avoid inmates from talking. Maybe, an inside job.
“They could’ve jacked my car” Ma’am, is that the first thing you think of when theres literally killers in your yard?
Could of done anything
“Jacked my car”😂
She’s not worried about her partner
MiniBigHarry YT I’m in CA and there are persons impersonating agents from different agencies like the FBI and the CIA, but possibly Ukt the AAA aswell.SFccfcAAc
Not even her life but car
Sam Unseld not every American citizen is “Dumb as a dog foot”
Fake witnesses..
🤣
"They could've jacked my car" 😂😂first thing she worries about
Literally like wtf 😂
🤣 she wasn't even the one being asked
True i laughed hard at that one cz they could easily hurt her
All she cares is about is her car wowwwwww
The man suddenly laughed 😂
“Musta kept you awake with all that cuttin huh”
Talk to your guards! Not the guys locked in a cage who probably couldn’t have told you overnight if they wanted
Cuomo should be in that prison
She literally said they're criminals they could do anything, if they escaped the prison they wouldn't be dumb enough to waste time jacking the car or hurting anybody
“lucky to be alive”
“they could’ve jacked my car”
Georgia Ewington thought she was gonna say she couldve jacked him up, not what I expected 😂😂
Lol dumb ass broad
FUCKING NORMIES
Even the interviewer was looking at her like bitch reallly? 😂😂😂
@@Kdadarkman mmm. NpwkamakkOdswelkkk
“Who the hell are you get out of my yard” in his monotone voice
😂
I was dead 2:14 "get the hell outta here"🤣🤣
Legend has it, that's the exact same tone he used on them.
Frs
😂😂😂
Matt was caught 20 days later. He was killed by police when he was holding a shot gun.
Sweat was caught 2 days later. He was shot twice while fleeing. He recovered and was sent back prison.
The first one was like I ain’t going back to prison I prefer to get killed by the cops
Very interesting.......
Dang
How in tf they got caught?
"He's an expert." Man looks serious whilst reading a book.
Me: "Well, he must be an expert then."
Why wouldn't a maximum security prison be in the middle of nowhere where it isn't surrounded by a town
Town is small. I'm from there.
Samson Joseph it is the middle of nowhere
How does America have so many prison escapees its extremely rare in Britain
Right? Even if the town is small they have plenty of opportunities to hide, steal a car and bounce. If it was in the middle of the desert I bet they wouldn’t even try. Also is just unsafe to put a bunch of killers so close to pleoples houses.
Samson Joseph my school is next door to the town prison
"Lucky to be alive" then talks about her car being stolen😂
Joseph Egan jacked * 😂😂
That pissed me off😂😂
Ahliyah Me too
Ikr😂
Yeah like that guy could have been killed and she just starts talking about her car
I shouldn't be laughing at that note they left but.....🤣
I was laughing I couldn’t hold it😂😂😂
I don’t know why but this is the funniest video. The way the police speak, the way the witnesses speak.. LOL “they could be anywhere”
Woman : they could of jacked my car
Man: am I a joke to you?

@@Tomijones She's worried about the car more than the man (her husband)
it was then that he realized the truth that he was easily replaced.

Everyone says my grandpa looks like Michael scofield haha coincidence that my last name is scofield...Rip Grandpa:(
Dude lol I've watched prison break 4 times
+Mr Bad dream who cares
yup
Yass
Imagine living across the street from a Federal Prison!
That’s not a federal prison
My grandparents do. Honestly I wouldn’t be too scared. If inmates escaped wouldn’t they want to get as far away as they can from the prison?
@@louiefbaby I stand corrected. It’s a State Prison”
NEWSFLASH: It's not maximum security if the residents can escape.
it’s maximum security not perfect security , maximum as in it’s the best they have so far
This definitely sounds like they had a lot of help on the inside.
Power tools? Where tf they gonna get power tools in prison?
+Kris F. No by the officers
+Kris F. I mean if you watch orange is the new black it's possible
+Meagan Hijazi that's a TV show dude, definitely not like real life
+Blah blj well it is based from a book by a real inmate called piper Kerman so yeah it is realistic
That lady just wanted everyone to know she has a car😂
Mathewsie Kolola 🤣🤣🤣
Lmao
😂🤣 yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking lol
Mathewsie Kolola she not the type of grown woman that looks like she owns a car or even knows how to drive one lmao
Not impressed
Rip to people whow died may their soul rest in peace they will be remembered 🙏🙏😭😭
I lived fairly close to that prison, man was it terrifying when they got out. I haven’t watched this fully yet, but I believe they were found by a bounty hunter in the woods. One was killed, and the other severely injured. I believe the one who survived, is now in prison again.
David sweat got shot, by a border agent, from over 50 ft
"Have a nice day" you know they mad as hell lmao
kiLLjoy24CALI Yeah they are mad.

i completely forgot about this lol
They recommended this because of Cuomo
Did they found them really?
Four years**
Fucking funny joke man
I would've done the same thing if I was sentenced to life.
Same because your already sentenced to life they don't care if they get caught
+OhStride YT Fr , what is there to lose ? Lol
+jtuiletufuga37 yep nothing lol
+Nick Govopoulos that would suck
well actually one got killed and the other put in a way more impossible to break out prison
*It’s solid*
Thanks Jim, back to you Terry. 2:49
Thanks for directions. Hope to use them soon
If I lived a block away from a prison I would not talk to them.
that's a surviver's move😂
I wouldn’t live anywhere close to a prison. Even if it was a free house.
I wouldn’t even live anywhere near a prison in the first place 😂
@@cvance37 YESSS
Crazy how close the prison is to the neighborhood
"like they could've jacked my car" OH YEAH CUZ YOUR CAR IS MOST IMPORTANT FREAKING THING RIGHT NOW
rachel You're from there upstate NY?
rachel. Well yeah! Cars cost a lot. How would you feel if it happened to you? If you even have a car
Who the fuck says freaking anymore
xd jacubzie ikr 😂😂
rachel they could've use her car to escape faster.
Literally everyone in the comment section
“They coulda jacked my car”
Any updates for us on this side of the pond?
For anyone WONDERING, Richard Matt was SHOT twice and killed, while DAVID was Sentenced to life WITHOUT the possibility of parole. So yes eventually they were both caught.
Oof 5 days ago this comment is posted. 5 days ago only wow
HORB He didn’t say they only caught them 5 days ago 😒
@@matthewwmezachang but I was wondering a week ago
HORB he died before this video was posted

The girl witness has her priorities straight ahahahaha. "They could've jacked my car"
Akeeyuki haha and I love how the escaped convict was so polite to apologize to that dork for being in their yard on the wrong street?? hahaha
Akeeyuki I respect the cop killer.
+tes420 He must be Canadian.
+Stephen Hunter I know it sounds crazy 4 those that don't keep up with the horrific things cops do to innocent people but 4 us that do it makes perfect sense. The guy that killed the thug with a badge survived. Wish he would have got away and killed another one...
She’s not worried about her guy who went out to them- no no no not the car.
People these days: “Dropped my hot pocket” “only a few people left, I was trying to win my game during the tornado” “they could’ve jacked my car”
Pls put commas between the things it makes it easier to read
They just watched Prison Break, and imitated, I guess.

Jacking her car would of meant she died duh

why the fuck would you commit a random murder with your bare hands a block away from the prison you just escaped from when your just trying to get away? yall are fucking dumb.
@@justheretowatch9451 THANK YOU!!! lol They wanna mind their business and get as far away from prison as possible. That would only double the chances of getting caught lol

Imagine living next to a maximum security prison & then you see 2 escaped prisoners in your property
the mini series "escape from dannemora" about this escape is amazing!
Is it on Netflix?
How did nobody hear the tools
I'm sure it's loud in there but yeah who knows
Silenced tools 🤔🤔
I don't think they had power tools. more like hand tools
They did but nobody is gonna snitch thats prison rules 101
They probably did hear the tools but was to afraid to tell cops maybe because the escapers threated to kill them if they said a word. I don't know 😕
she was more worried about her car getting jacked
aurora martinez lol
aurora martinez haha exactly
I thought they were lying that couple.

Lolllll « must have kept you awake with all that cutting »🤣🤣🤣
That’s the funniest part 😂😂
"They could've done anything! They could've jacked my car" NO concern for your husband or kids though lol. But your car getting jacked is horrible lol
Repeating comments aint gon do nun
Fatal Beaast good thing I’m not trying to do a nun then.
legit the first thing she said was "lucky to be alive"
How you know she got kids ?
meth is a hell of a drug
They deserve to stay out after that escape.
They were convicted of first degree murder...not they don't.
+CANADAWOOOOOOOOO you are a sheep. now before you say.....no im not like a sheep ill tell you why hes a muderer to the first degree now you didnt think about the other side maybe he killed someone because the person he killed .... killed a loved one now if you could please shut your face that would be nice you sheep
+Aemal Said bruhhhhh... Anger and wanted revenge gives nobody the right to kill.
Bruh say that when someone kills one of your fam members then talk to me..... it goes all the way back to cain and abel
Someone murders your mom and you don't murder him? I would if I had the choice, if this were the case though it would probably be a crime of passion or whatever the fuck it is and it wouldnt be a life sentence worth the escape, me personally I think all murderers or inhumane acting people should be killed (with evidence that 100% has no doubt)
I just drove by the prison today. A weird vibe with small houses on the right and a giant concrete wall on the left!!
He should find out quick because he might be needing those skills soon.
Why is Their a prison next to houses
It's Ivan stupidity building a prison next too house's is stupid.

Have a nice day!
Where I live if you walk into my back yard through the fields it’s brings you right to a maximum security prison and another one right across the street that’s minimum security I think is what it’s called. Kind of scary. But there’s only been one person that’s escaped from there. And it was years ago.

They wouldn’t have taken anything, the last thing they want is a trail. Ppl think all convicts are dumb, if they broke out of a maximum security prison they are gonna disappear not bring attention to the situation.
the crazy thing is i remember when this happened. i where i was when this happened too lol. i remember seeing "david sweat, still at large"
I don't know why people think people who escape are going to go off and kill someone as soon as they go away. lol smdh
Hey whats up bro i just subbed to u can u sub back
Well obviously they don't want to go out and immediately kill someone, but they're unpredictable, if someone angers them, gets in their way, or calls the authorities, they are very likely to kill them.
