10. The ‘Texas Tower’ Escape (2015, USA)
In June 2015, inmates Richard Matt and David Sweat escaped from the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York. Over several weeks, they meticulously planned their escape, cutting through steel walls in their cells and navigating a network of tunnels to reach a manhole cover outside the prison. Their escape led to a massive manhunt, culminating in Matt’s death and Sweat’s capture. The incident inspired the 2018 Showtime miniseries “Escape at Dannemora,” which delves into the events surrounding the escape (paramountplus.com).
