Mexico Drug Lord Escape "El Chapo" Photos And Video Tell the Story

Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman was able to escape in relative comfort, because new photos show he had a top notch construction crew that could pass inspection in most cities.

It's probably a good thing the cuisine in Mexican jail isn't five star, because the hole would barely accommodate a 32" waist. 

But once Chapo scurried down the hole, it was clear sailing because the rig was borderline comfortable.

Chapo's contributors sparrowed no expense ... a bird was used to test the tunnel for toxic fumes. The sparrow didn't fare as well as Chapo. 

10,000 officers (and one billionaire) are on high alert as they try to recapture him.

A security camera inside the jail cell of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán was rolling the moment the most powerful drug lord in the world made a run for it.

Well, to be precise, he didn't exactly run: The security video shows Guzmán pacing around his cell for a few moments. At one point, he ducks behind a wall that divides a shower stall from the rest of the cell. He looks at something and then comes back to sit on his bed, where he seemingly adjusts his shoes.

As the country's national security commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubido said during a press conference, these were "natural movements" for a prisoner inside a small cell.

A moment later, El Chapo calmly walks back to the shower area, where he quickly disappears.
