That's only if the hanging is done properly, which takes quite some experience. The length of the rope and thus the drop must be closely matched to the weight; size and other characteristics of the body to accomplish that. The rope too long, the neck gets too long as well. Too short, the neck doesn't break. Calls for a lot of expertise, which only comes with volume training. Read the book of the British hangman, was it Pierrepoint? So no guarantee that Saddam died any faster than the top Commanders of the Nazi German Armies, Jodl and Keitel. Jodl was swinging for 25 minutes before finally strangled, whereas Keitel was a tough fella and held out for more than 40 minutes in the noose before he ran out of gas... No wonder Pierrepoint was shocked over those amateurs! See Florida wasn't a unique case in messing up an execution, happens all the time. Taro
