Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman — one of the world's most notorious crime figures — escaped a maximum security prison on Saturday via a 1,600 yard tunnel dug under his shower cell, Mexico's top security official said.
The brazen jailbreak is the second time Guzman, the powerful head of Mexico's Sinaloa drug cartel, has escaped a maximum security prison.
Guzman was last seen using the shower area at the Altiplano prison around 9 p.m. Saturday, the National Security Commission said in a statement. An alert was triggered when prison guards found his cell empty.
The tunnel was so elaborate that it had ventilation and stairs, Mexico's Security Commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubido said. A motorcycle that was used to remove dirt was also found, he said.
Flights were suspended at the nearby Toluca airport, while a manhunt stretched into surrounding states, the commission said.
Rubido said 18 employees from various part of the Altiplano prison, located about 56 miles west of Mexico City, had been taken in for questioning.

Did the Mexican Government give him a free plane ticket to San Francisco?
Cool, thanks for the info!!
I would not buy one sight unseen.
Century is notorious for screwing up the bolt gap, thought they do have a 1 year warranty.
Q: How to check your Bolt Gap?
A: For a HK91, G3 or Cetme to run reliably and safely it should have a bolt gap that measures between .3 and .5 millimeters (about .012 - .020 Inch). If your HK/G3 or Cetme has less bolt gap or no bolt gap, then you need to change your rollers and use HK + Size rollers which are available for sale on our G3 Parts page. Do not think that just because your rifle is working that your bolt gap is OK. I myself didn’t notice the bolt gap had totally disappeared on my favorite FMP G3 and I was shocked to see I had no bolt gap. A set of HK +2 Rollers got me back up to spec and now I can once again safely shoot my favorite G3. The lack of bolt gap can be dangerous. It also increases the amount of wear that your rifle endures while firing.
1, Remove Magazine.
2, Pull back cocking handle and let the bolt slam shut, make sure it’s shut all the way.
3, Turn rifle over so you are looking into the bottom of the mag well.
4, Using a feeler gauge measure the gap that is between your bolt head and bolt carrier. If you lack a feeler
gauge you can use one or two pieces of paper, though a feeler gauge is needed to obtain a proper measurement.
5, If you have less than .3mm of gap than you will need to acquire + size rollers which are available on the G3 page of this website. Then
follow the instructions for the above topic titled “how to remove rollers” and replace your rollers.
Why don’t they just kill him then no more worries. :-)
Expect commentary from Donald in 3 2 1....
I thought that was an interpretation of an amendment by one of the lefty SC scum bags.
I suspect the guard force and local police are on Guzman’s payroll.
“Sadly the anchor baby bit is in an amendment to the constitution”
Not really. It was a result of an erroneous SUPREME COURT interpretation of the 14th Amendment, in DIRCT contradiction of the written records in Congress when it was passed. Obama could void it, if he wanted to.
None of them want to.
no, it’s an interpretation of an amendment to the Constitution; so, the SC, could (as they have proven) re-write it so that the actual intent is plain. Of course, the original intent was the repatriation of millions of former slaves who were not technically citizens. Of course, I’m pretty sure they are all dead by now, so we could, with no fan-fare at all, simply repeal it.
This is full of shit. The prison guards all knew what he was doing. Officials from the prison probably even helped him get the resources and people he needed to dig the tunnel.
If you occasionally set off seismic charges along the fence the work fine.
Mexico’s Al Capone.
