The building at 580 Fifth Avenue, where the man got stuck inside the vault, is known as the World Diamond Tower and houses several jewelry businessesA man got trapped overnight inside a steel-reinforced concrete jewelry vault in a midtown Manhattan building known as the World Diamond Tower, after he tried to access his safe deposit box
After about 10 hours, Sarrocco said, the firefighters reached the steel plating and decided to hold off going any further, fearing their rescue attempts could harm the man trapped inside. Fortunately, the vault was on a timer and opened on its own Wednesday morning, officials said. The fire department was called to the midtown building Tuesday evening after the man became trapped while trying to access his safe deposit box, Assistant Fire Chief John Sarrocco said. The building at 580 Fifth Avenue is known as the World Diamond Tower and houses several jewelry businesses. Sarrocco did not explain how the man became trapped.
