Well, the cameras could go off for an hour and both guards could be asleep for the same hour. -- edit: on a meta note, why did this submission flash on the homepage, and now I can't find it? edit2: I can't find the dupe submission either: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39712618 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39712618 edit3: I found this submission now on page 6, it was just on the first page and gaining comments and votes fast until just now. edit4: both submissions are completely gone now off any page. @dang?

Well yeah, if you want to make up outlandish hypotheticals with no basis in reality /s I think we fall into a false sense of "How could this happen and no one get caught doing it". I know I've had that thought for decades now but murders keep happening and people keep getting away with it. I find myself thinking "Wow, I guess that was easier than I thought it'd be (thinking back 1-4 years), but _now_ it would be harder", the issue is I've had that same thought almost every year so clearly my guess of how hard it would be is way off.

  That wasn't a hypothetical. I was referencing a current event. edit: missed the /s, stupid brain

    I know, that's why I had the "/s" I know you're referencing Epstein
    - theultdev 3y ago
      My brain completely skipped over that, woops.

        No problem, easy mistake. Joking is the only way I can deal with this stuff.

        I feel ya. Side note, for my sanity, did this article disappear off the first page for you as well? It's on page 6 for me now. edit: it's completely gone now off any page.
        joshstrange 3y ago
        Yeah, it did. This type of stuff gets flagged pretty hard so I’m not surprised.
        theultdev 3y ago
        I never saw a [flagged] pop up but that's possible I suppose. The other submission also wasn't flagged, even as of now, but it's gone on the pages. There's much older and deader Boeing articles that are still on pages 3-10.

    they were being sarcastic, hence the /s :P

  I've obviously never bought a hitman off of the dark web. However, it seems like these services aren't going anywhere. I'm not sure if they're all a scam or what. The interesting case with Boeing is, its not only that the company would want this person gone, but rather the entire US government too. Boeing is "too big to fail."

That only happens at the Metropolitan detention center, in the Jeffrey Epstein memorial wing.
