"they also deepened the divide between the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches, particularly when the Catholics decided to sack Constantinople during the fourth Crusade."
Actually, they didn't really "decide" to.
They needed boats to reach Jerusalem and hired the Venetians to ferry them, and when it turned out that they didn't have enough money to pay them, the Venetians got pissed off and told the Crusaders they wouldn't get them Jerusalem unless they sacked Zera and Constantinople as payment . As it happens, the Byzantines had recently expelled most Venetian citizens from Constantinople and broken their trade agreement with the Doge, so it was more about money and politics than religion.
But yeah, it did help the schism a great deal, even though the Pope excommunicated the Crusaders who decided to go along with the Venetians' plan before Zera (proof that PR didn't work as well in the Middle Ages... "I'll excommunicate them, so they won't be christians anymore when they attack!" was a good try, but it failed massively).

If you want really amazing escape stories, check out the german POW camp of Colditz Castle. One of the guys escaped by vaulting over the fence.
