68-Year-Old Woman Locked In Bank Overnight
Poor woman……
The woman from Cologne in Germany was withdrawing items from her safe deposit box in the subterranean vault of the Sparkasse bank around closing time, when an employee closed the heavy steel door believing the room was empty.
The woman immediately used the special phone in the vault to contact bank officials, who found themselves unable to open the high-security door as it was time-locked until the next morning.
Police and rescue services were summoned to the scene, as well as the security company that maintained the door system, but its experts advised against forceful opening of the metre-thick steel hatch as it would have taken longer than to wait for the time lock to open at 8am the next day.
