Cambridge academic Dr. Krisztina Ilko trapped in tower bathroom for 7 hours, escapes using eyeliner pencil.

Cambridge academic Dr. Krisztina Ilko, living in a medieval tower once home to 16th-century philosopher Desiderius Erasmus, found herself trapped in the tower's bathroom for seven hours after unintentionally breaking the lock. Without her phone, she managed to escape using an eyeliner pencil and a cotton bud to pick the lock. The college has since removed the lock to prevent further incidents.
