As leader of the world's most powerful drug cartel, infamous Mexican kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán is a master of tunnels.
Nearly 13 weeks ago, Guzmán used an elaborate tunnel underneath his prison cell's private shower to break out of a Mexican maximum-security prison for the second time.
Guzmán's custom-built labyrinth may have cost $50 million in construction and bribes to prison officials, The Telegraph reports.
The entrance to Guzmán's escape tunnel was a 1 1/2-foot by 1 1/2-foot gap in the shower floor, which led to a 32-foot ladder down to a mile-long tunnel.

A motorcycle built onto rails was also placed in the secret passage to transport building materials across the tunnel quickly.

The end of the tunnel opened up to a nondescript abandoned home that is at least a half a mile away from any other building.
The following infographic from PowerTool World shows the tools and construction equipment Guzmán's engineers may have used to build the escape tunnel.
