Kaplan: The mysterious gringo who went by helicopter (5 of 5) - SinEmbargo MX
David Joel Kaplan starred in the so-called “Escape of the Century” in 1971. As spectacular as the one recently carried out by Joaquín Guzmán Lorea, “El Chapo”, at the El Altiplano prison, that of the American David Kaplan, confined in the Santa Martha Acatitla prison, then considered the highest security prison in the country, was planned with pinpoint precision by his own sister.
A Bell 47 helicopter equipped with a supercharged turbine and piloted by an ex-Vietnam fighter was his vehicle to freedom.
As also did “The Chapo” in his escape from the Puente Grande prison, Kaplan tried to escape before hiding in a pile of dirty clothes that would be taken, with him inside, to the laundry by a delivery truck. The plan was frustrated by some accusation.
Another escape considered by Joel David was to hide in a false compartment placed on the fender of a truck by another American inmate of the time, a guy with the last name of Church, imprisoned for murder a Mexican policeman with his bare hands. He was also frustrated.
Until August 18, 1971, around 6:30 p.m., he succeeded. And also, like “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera, he did it under the noses of the guards.
Mexico City, July 31 (However).– Ten: A Bell 47 helicopter equipped with a supercharged turbine appears over the wall of the Santa Martha Acatitla Penitentiary, in Mexico City.
Nine: "Look, Kaplan! There it comes. You see it? It's the helicopter approaching! Castro boasts. "Oh Carlos, I'm scared! Kaplan, protagonist of a dozen frustrated escapes, trembles.
Eight: Five hundred and seventy inmates minus two inmates from dormitory one spend the afternoon watching a movie.
