A customer who was inside of the basement of the World Diamond Tower in New York City on Tuesday evening looking at his safety deposit box when the employees who wore inside of the building did not notice that he was inside when the employee locked the door.
After the man who was locked inside of the vault, the New York Fire Department (FDNY) answered the call to attempt to rescue the man trapped inside of the building that is owned by DGA Security, the firefighters used to speak to the man who was locked inside of the vault by security cameras and a telephone system to encourage him that he will be okay.
The firefighters realized that the only way the vault could be open is via a timer since in their attempts to cut through the concrete wall would have successful until they reached the metal plating since the man who was inside the vault could have harmed.
Since the firefighters found out that the man trapped inside of the vault was okay to be okay, they waited for the perfect time when the vault would be open early in the morning.
After the vault was open when the timer allowed the vault to open, the man trapped inside the vault was in good condition and after he was examined by EMS and released to go to his home.
I am wondering what will happen to the employees inside of the building will be dealt with after they did not see the man inside of the vault when he was locked in by accident.

Glad he was all right but that is what employees are meant to do check the entire building before locking up,

I am sure that the employees who allowed this near tragic event to happen need to be disciplined.

I know what you mean that being locked up inside of a vault is very scary for the victim indeed.

I wonder if a protocol might be put in place to check each evening before locking up just in case.

That what I am thinking that some changes are needed to make sure that these kinds of incidents do not happen again.

I am sure that the security guards will be more concerned about anyone inside of the vault from now on.

I'm sure the employees will be in trouble for not noticing the man. Have a good week.

I do not wish what happened to the victim on my worst enemy either.

That would have been very scary for the trapped man.
