More than 30 teens escaped from a Nashville youth detention center and 10 were still being sought Tuesday morning, a spokesman said. Thirty-two teens - ages 14 to 19 - escaped from Woodland Hills Youth Development Center around 11 p.m. Monday by crawling under a weak spot in a fence that surrounded a yard there, Tennessee Department of Children's Services spokesman Rob Johnson said.
Two teens were recaptured right away and others were found overnight and early morning, Johnson said. Local police and the Tennessee Highway Patrol are taking part in the search for the teens still at large. The escape happened when a large group of teens at the center went out into the yard all at once shortly after a shift change, Johnson said. He said he didn't know if the escape was planned or spontaneous.
'Staffing is lighter during the overnight hours, and so, presumably, they planned for that, but we don't know quite yet,' Johnson told NBC News affiliate WSMV. He said that most of the teens have at least three felonies on their criminal records.

Hundreds of strangers sit next to each other, transfixed. They tend to blink at the same time. Even their brain activity is, to a remarkable degree, synchronized. It's a slightly creepy thought.
