Right out of an action movie: Man hijacks helicopter to help his brother to escape from jail
This is the kind of thing you wish there was video footage for. Apparently, a man trying to break his brother out of jail, hijacked a helicopter and landed at the jail, successfully grabbing his brother and another prisoner:
A helicopter landed in the middle of the high security Athens Korydallos prison, picked up two prisoners and flew away in a Hollywood-style escape that has left Greek police stunned.
A criminal on the run hijacked the helicopter on Sunday to get his brother out of prison, police said. Vassilis Paleokostas, 40, who was serving a 25-year sentence for kidnapping and bank robbery, and an Albanian convict escaped.
“The guards thought it was a surprise inspection by ministry officials and did nothing,” a police official said.
