NEW YORK (AP) — A man was trapped inside a steel-reinforced concrete jewelry vault in New York City overnight after firefighters had to abandon an attempt to rescue him for safety reasons. Fortunately, the vault was on a timer and opened on its own Wednesday morning, officials said.

    If cutting in takes, say, three hours, and he’s going to be in there for eight, and he has a brain aneurysm at hour four, he’ll be dead before they can get to him if they wait.

    There may not be an ambulance right outside your house, but at least they can get there in a few minutes.

      Lol. If he had a brain aneurysm what would they actually be able to do for him? Yes, there are some extremely rare things like a brain aneurysm that would be very bad, but seriously what are the odds?
