Over the weekend Yahoo! News reported a story about a notorious Greek prisoner that escaped from a maximum security prison in Athens via helicopter, in a "Hollywood-style getaway." I can envision how a big budget action movie would play this scene out, as he flies off leaving behind the baffled, rattled prison guards. However, this is NOT THE FIRST TIME this man escaped from this jail using their helicopter. Twice, he was able to get into a helicopter and fly away from his jail. Two times he did this.
Here is a list of suggestions for the jail to help make sure that this will never happen again:
1. Don't leave the helicopter keys in the ignition.
2. Lock the helicopter doors. (double check)
3. Put a guard near the helicopter.
4. Observe the helicopter from a tower.
5. Listen for helicopter propellers starting up, especially during unscheduled helicopter usage times.
6. Put a sign on the helicopter that says, "Not for prisoners."
7. Stop giving the prisoners helicopter lessons.
8. When the helicopter is at the jail, keep an extra eye on the man WHO ALREADY STOLE IT.
9. Do not land the helicopter inside the prison grounds anymore. (you can walk)
10. Get rid of the helicopter.
