000114 Alcatraz
The next day, everyone drove to Joquhua Street first, which was strongly requested by Li Qinglin, and he had to go through the addiction of driving.
When he arrived at the place, Xiao Yifei began to command:
"Xu Shuyun, you sit in the car and shoot. Xiao Ya, you also get out of the car with me and go to the middle to shoot. I'll go to the bottom. Make sure to take pictures of all your drives. ”
No way, this is also what Li Qinglin requested, he said that he must record in all directions, so that he can go back and have the capital to brag.
At first, Li Qinglin was still a little worried, since the reputation of Jiuquhua Street is outside, secondly, Xiao Yifei's navigator is too big, and he is still a little unfamiliar, and he braked a few times, and the second half of the race is relatively smooth and smoothly passed the corner.
"Have fun, can you leave for the next stop?"
Li Qinglin was not satisfied:
"No, I'm going to do it again, I'm going to try to get it once, and I don't stop."
I finally know why the locals don't take this road anymore, all of them are occupied by tourists like Li Qinglin, and the locals must only go around other roads. Everyone can only take their places again, wait for him to pick him up from the side, and return to the starting point, and come back for a while.
Li Qinglin boasted proudly:
"What's up, buddy's driving skills are good."
Xiao Yifei hit him directly:
"Well, it's good, but I almost scared the car in front of me."
Despite the slow speed, a full-size SUV is so big that it follows closely, and the car in front is really scared enough.
They went to Fisherman's Wharf again, and after enjoying a bunch of delicious food, a few people crackled into the window of a nearby bakery and took pictures.
I can't blame Xiao Yifei for their ignorance, I can only say that this store is too creative, it is just like the yardman in the supermarket, they actually made a big crocodile bread, the crocodile's eyes are the size of a loaf, I saw the crocodile lying on all fours in the window, the curved tail curled up, and even the scales on the body were clearly recognizable. This is simply a work of art, where can I afford to eat it.
Buy a ticket at Pier 33 and hop on the ferry to Alcatraz.
Regarding Alcatraz, I can't talk about it for a few days, first of all, I want to clarify one fact, that is, our nuclear bomb father Qian Lao was not imprisoned on Alcatraz Island. It is wrong to say on the Internet that Qian Lao was imprisoned on Alcatraz Island when his freedom was restricted in the United States, and it should be correct that Qian Lao was imprisoned on Terminal Island, also known as Terminal Island, near Los Angeles.
Terminal Island was across from the battleship Iowa when they had visited it. On the island, at 33 degrees 43 minutes 33 seconds east longitude and 118 degrees 16 minutes 1 second west longitude, there is a terminal island federal correctional center, which is still located here. It was actually a men's prison, and the inmates were used as laborers to repair machinery, restore products, and manufacture tires for public property. It's actually a labor camp, so it's wrong to say that American prisoners don't have to work, and they have labor camps.
A visit to Alcatraz Island needs to be booked half a month or even a month in advance, and Xiao Yifei determined that the travel plan was late, so he still asked Catherine from Phu Quoc to help when he got the qualification to visit here.
Some people may wonder why this place is so tight, and the appointment time is so far in advance. First, because it is so famous, Alcatraz Island has become an icon of San Francisco, along with the Golden Gate Bridge, and is visited by millions of tourists every year. Second, it is managed by the U.S. National Park Service, and according to the regulations, tourists can only get here through designated ferries, other boats are not allowed to approach, and private yachts are not allowed to go ashore. The government of the world is virtuous, and the United States has more red tape, which makes it necessary to book Alcatraz tours so far in advance.
Alcatraz Island, Benmei Pelican Island (Alcatraz Island), it also has a common name K, which is known as the best action movie of the 90s, with a global box office of $340 million, starring Nicolas Cage, and directed by Bang Bay, the English name of the movie "Death Island" or "Onslaught".
The name Alcatraz is derived from a prisoner held here, Philip Grosser, who was imprisoned here for refusing to serve in the military during World War I. Based on his own experiences, he wrote Unclesam's Devil's Island, which exposed the darkness and chaos of the prison, and Pelican Island was nicknamed Alcatraz, which soon replaced the original title and became the official name of the island.
It is understandable that at that time, it had just been converted from a barracks into a military prison, where many military criminals were held, and there were also some objectors.
In fact, Alcatraz Island is not very famous, and the actual tourism is not much to see. It's just rows of cells, and all kinds of simple equipment, there is not much appreciation value at all, Xiao Yifei and his group of tourists also went to the small black house in confinement to experience it, it was really scary, and some people couldn't stand it after only 1 minute.
During the prison experience, it is said that the prison house selected is the best because it can get sunlight. But Xiao Yifei felt that this place was the most torturous, because he could see the sea outside.
Some people think that being able to see the sea is tortureous? If you can see the sunshine outside, the yachts, the beautiful bikini girls, and even hear their laughter, but you can only be trapped in this small cell, looking at others through a small slit, I believe you will not feel that it is enjoyment at that time. That feeling of being out of reach can give you a strong sense of hopelessness.
More people come here to hear the stories of criminals.
From its opening in 1934 to its closure in 1963, the island's more than 300 cells were never full. Some of these prisoners are arguably world-famous.
When people describe the horror of the IRS, they often use the Chicago mob boss and the "underground mayor", and Al Capone was sent to prison by the IRS to describe the IRS as more powerful than the FBI. Al Capone was imprisoned at Alcatraz Prison. At the time, Capone's power was described in such a way that the prison guards were required to wear masks that would make Capone look invisible, and Capone's release time was also staggered with the release time of other prisoners.
Li Qinglin, who is a fan of "The Godfather", told Xiao Yifei that the prototype of the godfather is Capone's cousin, and unlike Capone, who has been imprisoned, the godfather has never been in prison.
In fact, Capone spent five of his entire 11-year sentence on Alcatraz, and he is said to have been one of the first 137 prisoners to be sent to Alcatraz in 1934. During his time on Alcatraz, Capone was diagnosed with syphilis and his mental health deteriorated, spending most of his last year in Alcatraz Prison Hospital.
However, after Capone left Alcatraz Island in 1939, he was not released, but was transferred to the aforementioned Terminal Island Federal Indocition Center, where Qian Lao was later imprisoned. Capone was imprisoned for another six months on the island of Terminal as a punishment for his contempt of court, which was the end of the matter once and for all. After Capone was released from prison, he announced that he would leave Chicago and retire in Florida.
Another well-known inmate at Alcatraz Prison is nicknamed "Birdman", and in the eyes of the media and the public, he is different from a villain like Capone, he is quite unlucky, although he is a murderer, but the media advertises that it is time to say that he was forced to kill.
On January 28, 1890, Stlaude the "Birdman" was born in Seattle. At the age of 18, he met Katie O'Brien, a 36-year-old barmaid, in Alaska. That year, Stlaude, who loved his mother, moved in with Katie. Also in that year, Katie was raped by a man named Charlie, and an enraged Stlaude shot Charlie to death with a pistol.
Stlaude was sentenced to 12 years in McNell Island Prison before being sent to Leavenworth Prison in Kansas.
In Leavenworth Prison. A prison guard named Andrew Turner always tried to torture Stlaude in every possible way, and on March 26, 1916, Stlaude finally got into a violent physical altercation with Andrew in the dining room. Andrew pulled out a knife, but Stlaude snatched it and stabbed Andrew in the left chest.
Stlaude was convicted of murder and, on appeal, the judge sentenced him to life in prison. He was confined to a solitary cell and was only allowed to spend 30 minutes a day in solitary activity in the backyard.
In June 1920, after a heavy rain, a bird's nest accidentally landed in the backyard of Leavenworth Prison, and Stlaude picked up three soggy canary chicks in the nest. To pass the time, he tried to feed the 3 canaries. He made a new nest for the young birds and invented a feeding protocol. He even conquered the canary hemorrhagic fever virus without a teacher, and wrote a paper that was published in the American journal Nature.
Stlaude spent the last 17 years of his life at Alcatraz Prison, dying at the Prison Medical Center in 1963. The inspirational film "The Birdkeeper of the Arka Table", based on his legendary experience, was released in 1962 and became a hit.
But in fact, the bird keeper was a pimp in the first place, and the hostess was his **. Of course, it's also possible that he and Katie lived together. And he was an execution-style shooting after he knocked Charlie down.
While in McNell Island prison, he often fought and injured people, for which he was sentenced to six months in prison. The prison guard he killed at Leavenworth Prison was because the guards revoked his visitation rights for his minor violations. And the knife that killed the prison guard was not the prison guard's, but Stroud's, he would have a knife, what did he want the knife for?
Stroud asked for a lot of equipment when he was researching veterinary medicine, and after he was removed, the prison discovered that he had actually modified a set of winemaking equipment. And when he applied for parole, his mother actually opposed parole. His mother had been running around and appealing repeatedly when he was sentenced to death, or he would have been hanged. What happened in the middle of this is unknown. Anyway, this bird keeper is not as innocent as they advertise.
Alcatraz Island is a prison, and prison escapes are inevitable.
Officially, 80 prisoners attempted to flee during its time as a military prison, 62 of whom were taken back and one drowned. During its time as a federal penitentiary, there were 14 escapes involving 36 inmates, of whom 23 were captured, six were killed, two drowned, and five were missing, with officials claiming that the five were most likely swallowed by the sea. In fact, three of these 5 people may indeed have successfully escaped from prison.
Beginning in 1961, the escapees began digging concrete walls from stolen spoons, coins and nail clippers, and even made their own drills using stolen vacuum cleaner motors. As a cover during prison accordion playing time, it took a year to dig large holes in the vents in the concrete walls of their respective compartments and fool the guards with fake walls made of wet newspaper. After grinding through the grille, the door to the roof of the prison finally opened. Late one night in June 1962, the trio climbed through the hole and then climbed to the roof of the house, where they climbed down the 9-meter-high roof with a homemade inflatable raft to evade patrols and reach the beach. The three 'geniuses' made three 'half heads' that looked like them out of newspapers, plastics, hair, paint, and other materials and put them on their beds, so that no clues were found during the guards' rounds.
The final obstacle they face is the 2,500-meter-wide icy waters between the mainland and Alcatraz. Of course, the three of them were prepared. Based on a Popular Mechanics magazine, they bonded an inflatable raft 1.8 meters wide and 4.2 meters long with fifty rubber cloth raincoats and stolen glue, and made their own oars out of plywood. In the dark, the bellows converted from an accordion were fully inflated, and they set sail with their oars, and disappeared into the night sea, where they were nowhere to be found.
After some searching, they only found an abandoned raft and an oar on the shore of Angel Island, nearly 3 kilometers to the north, and the three were no trace of them since, and no conclusive evidence has been found until now.
In 2006, the "Mythbusters" program focused on this famous puzzle, for which they found a rubber raincoat made of the same material as the real thing, glued it into an inflatable raft, and set sail from Alcatraz Island to the Golden Gate Bridge at night. Despite the fact that the raft almost capsized in the waves, requiring constant blowing and scooping of water, the adventurer managed to get ashore near the Golden Gate Bridge. Eventually, they decided that it was possible for the trio to escape from prison.
Despite spending only $26 and headphones for Chinese commentary, they rated it as the worst tour of the trip.
I'm sorry everyone.,Another chapter of water.,Everyone should have fun watching it.,I'll add another chapter right away.。
