This story sounds straight out of a movie, but it's very real. And somehow it's come out of Canada, the land of politeness.

Last night three prisonersstole a helicopter and used it to escape from Orsainville prison in Quebec City. Two of the men were arrested in 2010 in a narcotics sting that netted 41 vehicles, including a helicopter. A manhunt is underway to find the three men, who were all awaiting trial. 

There's no word on what kind of helicopter they stole or how they got their hands on it. We also can't confirm if the prisoners spent their escape apologizing, but it only seems natural.
