"SNIP..........
In a video of the 2013 incident made public Tuesday, convicts Danny Provencal and Benjamin Hudon-Barbeau can be seen desperately trying to climb a rope dangling from a hijacked helicopter sitting on the prison’s roof.
At one point, Hudon-Barbeau can be seen clambering over Provencal, only to get stuck with his groin thrust in Provencal's face. Hudon-Barbeau then strips off his gloves and tries to grasp the hand of an accomplice on the roof. But this fails and Hudon-Barbeau falls the short distance back to the ground.
The video was recorded by guards at the facility in Saint-Jerome, near Montreal, on March 17, 2013.
The escape plot was hatched via text messages on smuggled cellphones.
