A manhunt is ongoing for one of world’s most powerful drug lords, who escaped a top security prison through a 1.5-km tunnel in dramatic style. Freshly-released video and images offer a glimpse into how this brazen jailbreak was executed.
The guards of the notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquin `El Chapo' Guzman realized something was wrong when their VIP inmate tarried in the shower area of his cell on Saturday night.
The empty cell they eventually examined had a hole in the floor. A ladder led down to an underground tunnel, 10 meters deep and 1.5 kilometers long, which ended in a half-constructed empty house in the fields.
