Honolulu Zoo visitors were rushed to safety when a chimpanzee escaped from its enclosure and was on the loose for about 10 minutes. Officials said the chimp was able to get a finger hold in the wall that allowed him to climb up to the top. A chimpanzee previously escaped from the same enclosure in 2014.
