Outlook Weekend: Planes, Trains and Getaway Cars

Planes: In October 1972, Pedro Algorta was a 21-year-old student living in Montevideo when he boarded a Uruguayan Air Force plane bound for Chile. The fate of the 45 people on that small plane has inspired countless books, documentaries and a Hollywood film. More than 40 years later, Pedro decided to tell his story. Trains: In August 2015, Californian airman Spencer Stone was enjoying the holiday of a lifetime. The 23-year-old was with a couple of friends travelling around Europe by train. One Friday evening they were making their way from Amsterdam to Paris. As the train was crossing the border into France a man was emerging from a toilet cubicle with an assault rifle and a backpack full of ammunition. What happened next turned Spencer into an international hero. Getaway Cars: Georgia Durante was once one of the most photographed women in America. No one suspected that while she was working as a model in 1970s New York, she was also a getaway driver for the mafia. Image: Car driving over the speed limit is flashed by speed camera.
