there was a near miss on another mass escape from the Maze in 1997. The IRA had an elaborate tunnel complete with electric lights under construction, it was within a hundred yards of the perimeter when it was discovered.
that was a bit of a wasted effort at that stage though, most everyone involved was released shortly after anyway under the good Friday accords.
