According to G4TV, The Feed: In what many videogame analysts will classify under "Holy crap! That actually works?!?", a Turkish prisoner has escaped a German prison through the clever use of a box. While gamers have been been following Solid Snake's box-stealth adventures in the Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid series for more than a decade, few have ever thought that hiding in a box would make an effective real-world technique. Oh how wrong we all were. According to BBC News: "At the end of his shift, the inmate climbed into a cardboard box and was taken out of prison by express courier. His whereabouts are still unknown. The chief warden of the jail told the BBC this was an embarrassing incident. The prison authorities in Willich, near Duesseldorf, said the man, who was tall and broad-shouldered, had hidden in a box that was about 150cm by 120cm. When the weekly express courier arrived to pick up several boxes of merchandise, the one containing the prisoner was also loaded into the back of the lorry." Hopefully this will not lead to a string of videogame-inspired prison-breaks. Taking cues from Solid Snake is one thing, but a derranged mind could execute a particular nasty escape using classic Mario and Sonic techniques. Courtesy of G4TV, The Feed
He should be freed for even trying that. I can only imagine the face of the person who opened the box at the end..."who ordered the turk?" haha... Mass respect to him and good luck with his escape.
Lol, he's a prisoner on the run. You can't give him good luck. His escape was cool, probably the best escape plam since Alcatraz, but eventually they are going to find him...
Lol, it would be even funnier if he actually walked around in a box. But that's pretty cool how it actually worked, those guards must feel pretty stupid right now.
Hello. Haha, hats off to the guy who escaped. But, hes a prisnoner and they must find him. If i was him and pulled off that, i'd own up
I so would too, after confessing how stupid I believe they are, but I would. I think the escape itself was good enough.
It would have been so much better if he would have gotten out true MGS style. Inch a foot or two and drop while guards walk by. If I would have done that I would have turned around at the door and laughed, I would have to take credit for that.
That is awesome. I bet they'll have to routinely check every open cardboard box now after this incident. I wonder when they'll find him. He's going to have to hide in a box for the rest of his life.
wow so something you saw in the movies now actually works! the mail must have been heavy becuase they didint notice the weight of the box
I'd go back. I'd demand to be released because what I did was so ****ing cool! I like the way the box says "The Orange" on it (Orange Box reference). Didn't they notice how heavy the box was?
