Libya’s Central Bank forgot the code to a safe containing $184m worth of coins
- dlgeek 10y agoI'm confused by this whole thing. Due to a political fight, they can't get the combination from the parties who have it recorded, so their solution is "hire a super-duper safecracker team" - and then "drill a hole big enough for the safecracker to access the inside". It doesn't make any sense. Vaults and safes are simply a way to delay an attacker, they're not impenetrable fortresses. If you've got physical and local political control over the vault and a timeframe measured in weeks, you should be able to use simple standard construction techniques to drill/cut through the concrete and access it just fine - no special Hollywood techniques needed.
