Talk about Prison Break Bananas!
Not the show, but a real life prison breakout. This sounds like it's right out of something like 24.
[Two men] paid for a helicopter ride at an airstrip near the city of Sint-Truiden, about 40 miles east of Brussels, saying they were tourists from Marseilles in southern France, pilot Eric Mathieu told the RTL-TVI network. After takeoff, they produced a pistol and hand-grenade, ordering Mathieu to fly to Lantin prison outside nearby Liege.

Mathieu said he touched down while about 200 prisoners were exercising in the yard. One climbed on board while his accomplices threw tear gas canisters into the crowd. The helicopter then landed less than a half-mile from the prison, where the three men got in a waiting car and drove away, VRT television news said.

RTL-TVI identified the fugitive as a Frenchman who was in pretrial detention on charges of fraud and theft. RTBF said he had previously escaped from prisons in France and Spain.
That's pretty crazy...it'd be awesome if any news copters caught any footage of the escape. You'd think after the guy had escaped two prisons already that maybe they'd keep a closer eye on him. And that guards in guard towers would be unaffected by the tear gas on the ground and could shoot and disable the people involved or the helicopter.

      Yeah, I think he was even taking out (or at least knocking out) innocent guards and just causing a lot of mayhem, like when he released all the prisoners to cause confusion and they started beating up the guards. That was hilarious and the perfect example of how above the law Jack Bauer really is. Jack Bauer makes the rules!!
