Jan. 30th, 2009 09:26 amThis was all over the news last night, and I laughed at each replay. Just like a cartoon! Go to here to see the video (hopefully!) and full story.
It was less than a Great Escape.
Two New Zealand prisoners who were handcuffed together as they fled a courthouse foiled their own getaway when they ran to opposite sides of a light pole, slammed into each other and fell to the ground.
Jailers nabbed them as they struggled to their feet.
Their escapade yesterday was captured by a CCTV camera at Hastings District Court on New Zealand's North Island. The footage shows the two men trying to make a break for it - but apparently forgetting they were joined at the wrist.
