Prison Break!

More specifically, prison break-in. The United States sent paratroopers to invade the Colorado Fremont Correctional Institute early Thursday. Well, actually, the 25 paratrooper had not actually been sent to invade it, they just got lost.

CANON CITY, Colo. - A unit of 25 military paratroopers landed inside the perimeter of a state prison, but not to quell a riot or attempt some movie-script breakout. They just goofed.

The paratroopers, armed with exercise rifles that shoot rubber bullets, landed in a corn field outside the Fremont Correctional Institute early Thursday, Colorado Department of Corrections spokeswoman Katherine Sanguinetti said.

Guards escorted them off the grounds with no violence, she told the Rocky Mountain News.

The only problem? Neither the Army or the Air Force know anything about the paratroopers. It may have been a National Guard unit, but they didn't return reporter's calls. So, the question is, who were those guys? Did the guards see proper identification before they led them out the gate?
