    If the movie The Rock was filmed today instead of Nick Cage would it be Dwayne Johnson ?

    The black knife shapes is where the actual knifes would hang. That made it easy for the guards to see if one was missing. The same thing was done in the various workshops to make sure none of the tools went missing.

    • @JeffDeWitt
      @JeffDeWitt Před 5 lety +5

      Where I worked we did much the same thing so people would know where the tools were supposed to go and to make it obvious when one wasn't where it belonged.

    The Alcatraz tour is easily one of the coolest things you can ever visit in your life. You can literally feel the history as you walk around it. It should be on everyone's bucket list. I loved that tour when I went to San Fran and I hope to do the nighttime tour some day.

My wife and I went into D block number one and we both felt the ground shake. I never believed in paranormalUntil this day what an experience Alcatraz was for us.
