Fact #93289
When:
Short story:
Ronald
Biggs, serving a 30 year jail sentence for the 1963
Great Train Robbery, escapes from Wandsworth prison in London, UK, and flees to Brazil, from where authorities cannot extradite
him. His escape will inspire the Sex Pistols' 1978
song, No
One Is Innocent, featuring the lyric ,"Ronnie Biggs was doing
time, until he done a bunk, now he says he's seen the light, and
he's sold his soul for punk."
