In a sensational “Shawshank Redemption”-style prison break, a pair of cunning convicted murderers used power tools and tunnels to escape an upstate maximum-security penitentiary near the Canadian border.

A massive manhunt was underway Saturday after killers Richard Matt, 48, and David Sweat, 34, were discovered missing from the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, about 25 miles from Canada, officials said.

The inmates made their extraordinary dash to freedom after faking out guards with makeshift dummies made out of hooded sweatshirts to appear as if they were still sleeping inside their cells. And once officials discovered they were gone, they found a note from convicts telling them to "Have a nice day!"

“It was an elaborate plot,” Gov. Cuomo said after joining law enforcement authorities inside the prison, retracing the prisoners’ route.

“These are dangerous people,” he said. “They are nothing to be trifled with.”

That's funny. We've romanticized the idea of a prison break so much that even the people writing articles about it are basically congratulating the escapees. This was a pretty sweet escape so far, though.

Dont you know? Everybody in prison is innocent. The guilty are shot on the spot, thats what hollywood has taught me.

How the fuk do you drill and cut without making sound loud enough to alert the guards? And where did they get the power tools in the first place....
