A night he will remember for the rest of his life. Tuesday evening, October 25, a man found himself locked in the jewelry safe of the World Diamond Tower, a building located at 580 Fifth Avenue in New York, in the heart of Manhattan. The safe is equipped with a timed locking mechanism, that is, it locks automatically after a certain time and does not open until the next morning.
“I’m used to using this vault, it’s huge, so I can understand what happened. He was probably spending a little too much time inside examining the contents of his safe,” said Don Palmieriexpert in a jewelry certification laboratory in New York.
Locked up for more than ten hours
According to channel information NBC New-York, law enforcement and firefighters were in communication with the man inside the vault and could see him on a security camera. According to John Sarrocco, the deputy fire chief, the brigade had tools capable of breaking through the concrete walls of the vault: “The process was initiated to open a breach in the wall of the vault. »
After about ten hours, firefighters managed to reach the steel plate but decided not to go any further, fearing that their rescue attempts would be dangerous for the individual trapped inside. “The problem with shielding is that we would have to use our torches, which would affect the environment of the person inside the vault,” John Sarrocco explained.
Around 6 a.m., the doors opened automatically and the man, whose identity has not been revealed, was able to exit safely.
