Darwin strikes again

Picture this:

You and several other inmates are being transported back to prison in the back of a van. Not keen on serving your time, you and some of your friends in the van have hatched a plan to escape. This plan involves using high explosives to blow the doors off the van...

...from the inside!

Needless to say you do manage to escape, though not in one piece...

The Witness

Desperate and stupid = Extremely dangerous.

Imagine a bomb going off inside a police truck like that. It's lucky more weren't killed.

I laughed when I read this...

Major General Oswald Reddy said the cause of the blast was not yet known. He said the incident was obviously well planned.

Well planned? Really???

I think the incident was a mob action in protest of some less than desirable cultural slight...

I hope it was a unanimous decision to blow up the truck.

If otherwise then there is reason for some sympathy.

Tough crowd.

I think these guys showed some real initiative here. I'm giving them an "A" for effort.

from the article: "National commissioner of Correctional Services, Tom Moyane, said it was a huge blow to the department..."

Not as much as to the guys that got blown apart!
