BBC man stuck trying Hatton Gardens vault hole - BBC News

The Hatton Garden burglars drilled three 25cm (9.8in) holes through a concrete wall to climb into the vault. Here BBC News recreates the feat to find out how hard it is to squeeze through the gap.

I couldn't breathe just watching him stuck there for a few seconds.

[totopoo]

yeah, it tends to be a quick job when the holes are tight.

My anxiety went through the roof just watching him. I was finally relieved to see him get out.

“Step bro, I got stuck in the vault hole”

[ilyasskarouach]

this bloke just stood up after getting himself stuck literally frothing at the mouth to make a positive statement!! that's what we call self-motivation lads

"THIS HOLE, IT WAS MADE FOR ME!!"

I like how his coat was already dirty. He did it before just to make sure it would work.

I once got stuck in a 3 meter long tunnel I chiseled through some ice. It was about the same size as these holes lol. Not too pleasant being under a mountain of ice with no one around to help. After a few minutes of struggling I managed to get out.

The audio by itself is way more entertaining…
“Having laid the holes we couldn’t resist seeing how easy it was to actually get through. I’m told it’s possible. It looks very very very tight. I’m also told the best way to do it is to put my right hand through first. Yep that’s very tight. I’m struggling to get my second hand out. Uhm, that’s difficult. Do you think you could push from behind? Ok, got my hand out now. Once that hand’s out it is possible. There you are. It’s a pretty quick job as long as you’ve got the holes but I have to say it is very very very tight.”

This video should be called “ that’s what she said”

British television never fails to disappoint 😂

This is how they inspired the " stepbro I'm stuck" genre

[ktakeuchies]

[brandonrembe]

My worst fear is to be fully encapsulated in a space that small, my hands by my waiste, and drowning. My number 1 worst fear
