what is the name of the guy who escaped alcatraz
June 1962 Alcatraz escape attempt One inmate, John Paul Scott, successfully swam a distance of 2.7 nautical miles (5.0 km; 3.1 mi) from the island to Fort Point, at the southern end of the Golden Gate Bridge, on December 16, 1962. Some teenagers who were on the beach at the time found him and called the police because they thought he was dead. When the police saw him, he was immediately identified as the escapee they had been looking for. He was recaptured the same day and sent back to the rock,[5] exhausted and hypothermic.[6] Today, multitudes of athletes swim the same Alcatraz–Fort Point route as part of one of two annual triathlon events.[7][8] Some inmates in Alcatraz include Al Capone, Robert Stroud, and Allen West.
Escape from New York In 1997, while traveling to a peace summit between the United States, China and Russia, Air Force One is hijacked by a domestic terrorist posing as a stewardess. The President is given a tracking bracelet and his briefcase (containing an audiotape describing the secret to using nuclear fusion for power generation) handcuffed to his wrist. He makes it to an escape pod, and lands in Manhattan just before Air Force One crashes, killing everyone else aboard.
