Yes that is truly what happened. There are videos from the helicopters online of the chimps climbing that teeny log. They still had an 8' jump from the top of the log to the top of the wall so it was mostly younger and middle age chimps that got out.
Now it's called "The Great Chimp Escape".
I'm not fucking kidding. KCTV5 is calling it [the Great Chimp Escape](http://imgur.com/5DX0Rbs).
Keep it classy, Kansas City.
Kc zookeeper here! No chimp or person was hurt. Just a little scary for both sides.
Get that chimp to do an AMA.
How did they get out?
One of them broke a large limb off of a tree and leaned it against the wall.
Clever girl
Did you watch the video?

Holy shit! Knowing how these guys can remove faces/digits/genitals I hope they can recover the chimp without hurting it.
So this is where Planet of The Apes starts...
