A fascinating
article on the BBC about 3 men who in 1962 tried to escape from Alcatraz Prison – an Island
off San Francisco. After digging through concrete with spoons they put
to the water in a raft. They were never seen again! So did they make it to
shore?

Researchers
used ‘virtual boats’ to map what may have happened when the 3 men went into the
water. The findings differed dependent on the time they left the shore and whether they paddled or not.
Bestcase scenario
The study was carried out be scientists at Delft University and the research institute Deltares, both in the Netherlands.
