If nothing van escape a block hole, what explains the jets getting out?

I searched and it seems that it is not known, but the most popular theory is:

Science - What powers a black hole's mighty jets?

"The most popular explanation of how jets form is that the fast-spinning accretion disk, which contains charged particles, will produce a powerful magnetic field that is in contact with the black hole. If the black hole is spinning, it drags on the field, winding it into a tight cone at the rotational poles of the black hole. It is this twisted field that accelerates particles away from the black hole as jets and, in the process, extracts energy from the rotation of the black hole. Ghisellini says the group's finding that jets are so much more powerful than accretion disks shows that disks alone can't power the jets; the black hole's spin must also be involved.

Fabian says he still has a "slight reservation" about the assertion that the results prove the role of black hole spin. It's also possible, he says, that the magnetic field is sucking power out of the accretion disk, making it appear less bright."

those are ejected from the top and bottom only, and are a consequence of matter getting squeezed as it is rotating inward- it shoots both ways, some going into the black hole, and some going out.

This is the illustration from the article I mentioned. The theory is that the jet forms outside the event horizon due to magnetic fields surrounding the black hole. Everything black in the center of this illustration is inside the event horizon.
