gave a ride to two 'tourist' who then hijacked the copter and forced it to hover over a prison dangling ropes. But yeah. A helicopter is not an inconspicuous thing to escape in. Vibes for a safe capture.

Who ARE these people who have no ability to anticipate? ugh.

BTW, I did read the article that it happened before. I still can't believe they are so completely incompetent.

I hope they are captured quickly. Somehow though, I'm guessing they have vast network helping them out, being Hell's Angels and all. Dear prison officials - prevention - it's worth a pound of cure.
