Helicopter escape foiled at New York federal jail roof
An armed man and woman hijacked a sightseeing helicopter and landed on the wire mesh roof of the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. They failed to cut the 20 gauge steel screen, ending a three hour standoff as inmates remained on the roof and guards secured exits. Authorities identified inmate targets and evacuated the area after a police and marshal operation.
