Following drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's escape from prison, Mexican authorities have revealed the tunnel he used to make his getaway.
Guzman, a notorious figure in Mexico, would have breezed through the mile-long (1.6-kilometre) tunnel on a specially modified motorcycle or one of the two carts it pushed on two steel rails.
Access permitted to the tunnel's exit Tuesday illustrated that the leader of the Sinaloa cartel took two or three steps to the base of a vertical wooden ladder and scrambled up its 17 rungs on Saturday night.
Oxygen tanks, truck batteries, wooden sticks and other objects were displayed all over the tunnel, leaving no doubt that this was the conclusion of a well crafted escape plan by "El Chapo" and his people.
Interior Secretary Miguel Angel Osorio Chong confirmed the firing of three prison officials on Monday amid widespread belief that a level of internal complicity seems certain.
