El Chapo Guzman escaped through a shower shaft, made his way through a ventilated and lit tunnel, and rode to freedom on a motorbike which had been stashed in the tunnel.
The capture of the drug lord had been the crowning achievement of President Enrique Pena Nieto’s government in its war against drug cartels early last year, a beacon of success amid domestic woes. That makes the bold escape by El Chapo from a maximum security prison all the more devastating and embarrassment.
A widespread manhunt that included highway checkpoints, stepped up border security and closure of an international airport failed to turn up any trace of Guzman by Monday, more than 24 hours after he got away.
Guzman makes Matt and Sweat look like choir boys. I hope the bastard is caught again soon, but seriously doubt that he will be.
