Drug Lord Escapes Jail Through Mile-Long Tunnel
毒品大亨通過地下隧道越獄
Mexican police are used to searching for infamous drug baron El Chapo, and once again Joaquin Guzman is on the run after escaping from a maximum security prison. Road blocks are in place and an airport closed as they try to recapture the cartel leader, thought to be worth a billion dollars.
墨西哥警方搜捕臭名昭著的毒梟“矮子(El Chapo)”已經是家常便飯 。而現在,錫那羅亞販毒集團頭目華金·古斯曼從安全等級最高的監獄逃跑后再次開始逃亡生涯 。警方設置了路障,關閉了機場,試圖重新抓獲這名毒品巨頭,據信他的身家高達10億美元 。
"Camera!"
“照相機!”
When he was arrested last year, the government were confident that they can keep him locked up, they even rejected an offer from the US to take care of his incarceration, but as the details of this audacious escape are revealed, the government is once again facing embarrassment. He escaped from Altiplano jail through a sophisticated tunnel, 10 meters deep. It stretched for over 1.5 kilometers and surfaced in a nearby house.
當他去年被逮捕時,政府相信他們能夠把他關住 。他們甚至拒絕了美國代為監禁的要求 。但是隨著這次膽大妄為的越獄行為細節的披露,政府再次面臨尷尬 。他通過一條地下10米的復雜的隧道逃離阿爾蒂布蘭諾監獄 。隧道延伸了1.5千米,出口在附近一座房屋 。
"The tunnel is equipped with PVC pipes presumably for ventilation as well as lighting and a motorcycle mounted on tracks to be used as a traction mechanism, probably to extract the dirt from the evacuation, and also used to move tools and machinery for drilling".
“隧道裝有PVC管,可能是用來通風和照明,軌道上還有一輛摩托車用作牽引機制,可能是用來吸走灰塵,也用來運輸挖掘工具和機械 。”
Guzman became prominent in the 1980s as the leader of one of Mexico's biggest drug cartels. They shipped cocaine and other drugs around the world. He was arrested in Guatemala in 1993, in 2001 he escaped prison by bribing officials and hiding in a laundry basket, and it was last year that he was recaptured in Mexico. For the government desperate to take control of a country's drug problem, he was a major coup. Organized cartels in the country are responsible for cooking and selling drugs on an industrial scale as filmed by Sky News, it's estimated that 80,000 people have been killed in cartel violence since 2006.
上世紀80年代,古斯曼作為墨西哥最大的毒品卡特爾頭目而出名 。他們在世界各地運送可卡因和其他毒品 。他于1993年在危地馬拉被捕,2001年通過賄賂官員藏在洗衣籃里逃獄 。去年,他在墨西哥再次被捕 。對一個難以控制毒品問題的政府來說,能將他逮捕是巨大的成功 。就像天空新聞拍攝到的,墨西哥有組織的毒品卡特爾大規模煉制和出售毒品,據估計,自2006年以來,大約有8萬人死于毒品卡特爾暴力活動 。
When police captured Guzman in 2014, they also uncovered a series of tunnels between his safe houses, a similar setup for the one built for his escape this weekend. Police said they are questioning 18 people in connection with the breakout, and they'll no doubt face tough questions themselves about how they could let such a powerful and dangerous man escape for a second time.
當2014年警方逮捕古斯曼之后,本周末,他們還揭秘了監獄和他的安全屋之間一系列隧道 。警方表示,他們懷疑18人與這次越獄有關 。毫無疑問,他們自己也將面臨質疑,為何讓如此強大,如此危險的人物再次越獄 。
