    Epic Prison Escape in NY

    NEW YORK -- The two convicted murderers who used power tools to break out of a maximum security New York prison must have been heard during their escape, and left behind a note telling their jailors to "Have a nice day," New York's governor said on Sunday.

    Local, state and federal authorities set up roadblocks and went door-to-door in their search for Richard Matt, 48, and David Sweat, 34, who went missing early Saturday morning from the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, about 20 miles (30 kms) south of the Canadian border.

    "They were heard. They had to be heard," Governor Andrew Cuomo told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Sunday, calling the first escape in a century and a half at the facility elaborate and sophisticated.

    "The first order of business is to get these killers back. This was the first breakout since 1865 and I want to make sure it's the last," he said.

    The two men were in adjoining cells and drilled holes in walls to break out of them. They then went through a series of catwalks and tunnels, breaking through steel to clear prison grounds and escaped through a manhole on a street, officials said.

    They used clothing to make it look like they were sleeping in their beds.

    "We don't yet know how they acquired the tools," Anthony Annucci, acting commissioner of the New York State Department of Corrections, told a news conference on Saturday as authorities checked to see if the tools came from contractors working for the prison.

    Matt is serving 25 years to life for kidnapping, murdering and dismembering a man. He was received into the prison system in 2008, online records showed.

    Sweat, 34, is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for killing a sheriff's deputy. Police said he shot the deputy nearly two dozen times. Sweat was received into the prison system in 2003.

    the only thing that should stand out about this story is 3000 prisoners and 1400 employed guards. Or not I suppose, something being operated by the government incredibly inefficiently should be no surprise.

    White priviledge! No way in hell the black inmates would have been allowed to keep power tools in their cells.

    Very sharp.
    Avg Vegas property has around 1.5 EE's per guest room. Vegas on high end of that spectrum in US.

    Yes, out of the piles of storylines within the story (one guy dismembered his victim before murdering him, the other guy shot and killed a cop enough times to kill an elephant, the incredible way they obtained tools for an elaborate film-like escape) the ONLY thing that should stand out in this story is the guard to prisoner ratio.

    What if all this was done from the manhole backwards by outside help? Basically everything was done in reverse order and paved the way for them already?

    with so many owner finance off the grid spots its almost better/easier to stay on the dl off the grid it wouldn't take much $350-500 a month and a old motor home or shed moving to Canada isn't going to be easy they'll probably be on alert at the border and I've heard its not like mexico it isn't easy to get in over land ...by boat that's another story. A little small town population 700 or so in Indiana or Texas would be my plan they'd expect you to hit the border.
