BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 12 -- The hostage standoff was stretching into its seventh hour, with hundreds of police officers 
surrounding the bank. After negotiating a peculiar swap -- four hostages for some pizzas and sodas -- the captors 
inside seemed suspiciously quiet. So police stormed the building.

They found the 19 remaining hostages safe and sound, but the captors had vanished. A hole in the basement wall was 
covered with an iron lid that had been bolted shut from the other side. Later, police discovered that the hole led to a 
secret tunnel, which hooked into a municipal drainage system that emptied into the La Plata River. It was a clean 
getaway.
