In the predawn hours of January 2, 1972, eight men seize control of the iconic Pierre Hotel in New York City. They capture the employees and start to crack open the safe deposit boxes in the hotel\u2019s vault. They hoped for a big score, but the jewelry and cash in the boxes is truly stunning. And then the problems begin. For two hours, they handle one unexpected surprise after another.\n\nCheck out Infamous America Executive Producer, Mandi Wimmer as the guest historian/expert commentator on the History Channel's "Greatest Heists" Ep. 2, The Pierre Hotel Robbery, hosted by Pierce Brosnan.
