David Sweat spent hours cutting 16-inch escape pipe by hand, source says
"A source close to the prisoner escape investigation says convicted murderer David Sweat cut the pipe he and Richard Matt used to escape by hand.
[...]
The source said investigators asked him questions about how Sweat made the cuts in the prison pipe. He said the cuts were made by hand and he used hacksaw blades.
The source said Sweat did not use a jigsaw, torch, drill or sawzall to cut through the pipe. He believes Sweat could have worked between 16 and 18 hours a day for four weeks to make the cuts needed to escape.
[...]
The pipe was 16 inches wide, 14 feet long and three-eighths of an inch thick.
After crawling through the pipe, investigators said Sweat and Matt reached a 6-by-7-foot tunnel where they could stand and walk to a manhole."

He was unaccounted for for 16-18 hours a day??!!! For four weeks?!!!
In the pictures that I have seen the cuts look to good to have been cut by hand laying on your side inside of a pipe.
