I don't know if you can call it "escape" when you stroll out past all the guards looking the other way and get into a waiting limo. I guess. Probably.

by CanuckBob Sun Jul 12, 2015 9:28 am

The biggest surprise is that the authorities have admitted it. The US won't be too pleased to hear this since they were pushing hard to have him extradited after he was captured.

by viajero Sun Jul 12, 2015 9:28 am

Well,he did sign a petition complaining about the food in that prison,I guess he just got tired of waiting for the authorities to do something about it.
What a HUGE embarrassment for the Mexican government...

According to El Universal, he escaped through a tunnel more than a kilometer long.

Evidently he ordered Steak Frites for dinner last night, and when it arrived lacking the Bernaise, he decided enough was enough.

Maybe, if New York State hasn't completely disbanded their 1,000 strong prison escape search team, they could send them down as a friendly, neighborly act. After all there are Mexican fire fighters in Canada.
El Chapo will probably wind up living next door to Caro Quintero, fortunately not my neighborhood.

Reminds me that the guys in New York escaped via a tunnel too so what is the difference? Yes I know they go caught..

by Semalu Sun Jul 12, 2015 2:44 pm

You are right Slaint39...what next though eh? A Guzman descendent for president?

PS to Brigitte: the US mounted a pretty intensive hunt for the NYC escapees, and shot them when found.

Story by Clark Mindock, International Business Times

UPDATE, June 28, 2015 7:35 p.m. EDT: Fugitive David Sweat is in stable condition and is being treated at Alice Hyde Medical Center in Malone, N.Y., New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo reported at press conference Sunday evening. Cuomo described the three-week manhunt for Sweat and Richard Matt as “unprecedented” in describing the joint effort of local, state and federal law enforcement involved in the effort to capture the two fugitives, who fled Clinton Correctional Center in Dannemora, New York, June 6. “Literally thousands of law enforcement officers were engaged in this,” Cuomo said.

I doubt we'll see anything on that scale here. Too bad one lived.

Well,one difference might be that they weren't the country's most infamous drug kingpins and nobody had ever heard of them,whereas el Chapo was a well known high risk,high value prisoner.
Apples and oranges.

ya want irony of the first order? july 11 is mining workers day-jajajajajajajaj!

The tunnel was built with high level architectural and engineering skills. Thirteen tons of escombro, rubble, and dirt removed.
Probably a German engineering company or some of the contractors who worked on the Durango to Mazatlan new highway. scratch

El Chapo can afford to hire the best.

Many of the narco tunnel diggers are murdered after completing the job..for security reasons.

"the pot calling the kettle black"

The one thing these two (Trump and Guzman) have in common is.....
with their money they don't need the outside help of any political party or entity for survival.
I'm sure El Chapo could get that tunnel dug without the help or approval of EPN or anyone else in the PRI.

(Stunning escape of Joaquin el Chapo Guzman fuels Mexicans' cynicism).
A good read in the NYTimes.
