Firefighters spent five hours freeing two boozy revellers trapped in a disused bank vault today.

The men dialled 999 on their mobile phones at 1.48am, fearing they were running out of oxygen.

The pair climbed into the underground vault during a party inside a former bank building in Cardiff.

Firemen drilled a hole to get fresh air into the vault and were able to talk to the men to keep them calm.

Specialist rescue teams then freed the red-faced but unharmed pair at 6.45am.
