Prisoners' Great Escape Stopped by a Light Pole

Two New Zealand prisoners who were handcuffed together as they fled a courthouse foiled their own getaway when they ran to opposite sides of a light pole, slammed into each other and fell to the ground. Jailers nabbed them as they struggled to their feet. Their escape on Wednesday was captured by a CCTV camera at Hastings District Court on New Zealand's North Island. The footage shows the two men trying to make a break for it - but apparently forgetting they were joined at the wrist.

One Mile Tunnel Under London For Sale

Posted by Jill Harness in Architecture, Crime & Law, Everything Else, Odd News on November 29, 2008 at 4:20 pm

Need a cool hideout or a secret lair for all your evil plans? A mile long tunnel under central London is up for sale right now for only $7.4 million. This Cold War relic is perfectly suited for all super villians in need of a good “underground” hideout, especially since it comes with a bar, two canteens and a billards room.
