cracking down hard on major drug traffickers and promised he would never escape from their maximum security prison, but he did escape in a daring highly sophisticated scheme involving a mile long tunnel beneath the prison wall, a major embarrassment for the mexican government. >> they have no control over the powerful drug cartels that operate in their country. and they have no control over the system of justice and incarceration in their country. >> reporter: authorities say guzman was last seen on a security camera around 9:00 p.m. entering a shower area in his cell in the prison near mexican city and from there they say he slipped out of camera range through a 20x20 inch hole and climbed down a ladder and entered an elaborate tunnel and that tunnel stretched about a mile and went under the prison and supported by wood and pvc

pipe and a ventilation system and a small motor car attached to a rail track and it surfaced in a half-built house in a farm field. former drug agents say for a team to dig from a house to a specific spot in the prison took lots of coordination and expertise. mexican official are questioning dozens of prison workers and authorities on a manhunt throughout the country and issued an international warrant. >> that was nbc's mark potter reporting. guzman is wanted on traffic and organizing crime charges in several u.s. cities. the attorney says the u.s. will do anything they can to help mexico recapture him. a new opportunity for gop presidential candidate donald trump. he tweeted unbelievable corruption and usa is paying the price. i told you so.
