Escape artist

Yesterday I saw a man on Canada AM that was an escapist. He had just completed the extremely difficult task of freeing himself of handcuffs and chains while being buried alive in a tub of wet cement. He explained how the cement contained lime, and that lime burns the skin – so now he has cement burns on his body, but that the ambulance workers on standby didn’t need to intervene. He told the show host that on one of his escape attempts, something went wrong and that EMS saved his life. I believe that this man is from Manitoba – so all I can say is thank goodness the taxpayers of Manitoba, and not me, are paying for this fellow’s medical treatment. What a senseless waste of time and money. Think of all the good that cement could have done! Someone could have repaved their driveway!

  • you haven't entirely escaped your engineering background, have you? worried for all the cement?
