The CBC article differs in two important aspects. The BBC article says they "enlisted the help of experts", when the CBC article says they just called a locksmith who gave them some combinations to try over the phone. The BBC article makes it sound like some tourist just tried a random combination, while in the CBC article, a machinist put his ear to the safe and listened for clicks.

I think they both tell a similar story. Someone on the tour (a machinist) played with the safe and got it open. The experts tried it at were at a different time in the past.

    I imagine someone traveling wearing khakis with lots of pockets, pulling a wheelie cart with a handle, breezing through airport security and opening encountered locks in moments.

      He is being followed by a guy in a pith helmet with a moustache and a big gun.
