How to Escape Alcatraz With Basic Engineering

They likely survived

They likely survived. Modern science confirms a narrow tidal window made escape possible, but the FBI found no definitive proof they made it to shore.

• 🌊 The escapees launched during a 30-minute tidal window, a critical factor for survival that modern science can now predict.
• 🧳 FBI evidence suggests the raft broke apart, with paddles and life jackets found scattered across the bay.
• 🧠 Frank Morris, the mastermind, had an IQ of 130 and engineered the entire escape using basic materials and ingenuity.
• 🛠️ The escape involved digging through concrete with spoons, creating fake heads from soap and hair, and building a raft from raincoats.
