Video - The Rise and Fall of Pablo Escobar

Imprisonment and Escape] "In 1991, to avoid extradition, Escobar surrendered under the condition he be imprisoned in his self-designed prison, 'La Catedral.' Despite its comforts, pressure mounted, and in 1992, Escobar escaped, leading to a massive manhunt." [The Manhunt and Death] "Escobar was relentlessly pursued by Colombian authorities, with U.S. support. On December 2, 1993, he was tracked down and killed in a shootout in a middle-class neighborhood in Medellín. His death marked the end of the Medellín Cartel's dominance." [Legacy] "Escobar's legacy is complex. His reign brought immense suffering, but his story has also been romanticized in various media. The impact of his empire still affects Colombia and the global drug trade. His life serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of the narcotics industry." "Thank you for watching.
