Twenty-seven years ago today was the biggest prison escape in British history. Thirty-eight prisoners escaped from H Block 7 of the Maze prison. One of the guards died of a heart attack due to the massive escape and twenty others were injured by the escapees.

Over half of the men were recaptured within the week. You can read the whole story here.
