One Mountjoy warder thought it was a surprise visit from Defense Minister Patrick Donegan, who is fond of helihopping round the country. Instead, a masked man stepped down and trained a gun on the guards as three prisoners bolted forward and scrambled into the cabin of the chopper, which then whirred away.
