A man stuck in a vault in a Midtown jewelry store was finally freed Wednesday morning.
But it wasn't the FDNY who made the difference. It was a timer.
Rescue crews spent about 10 hours trying to breach 30 inches of concrete and metal plating, ABC7 reported.
They decided any further attempts could possibly endanger the 23-year-old victim.
