Two New York window washers were rescued from a broken scaffold that
dangled 600-feet above Manhattan. Richard Schmidt and Victor Caballo
were working around the 44th floor when the scaffold that supported them
buckled and folded in the middle. Rescue workers arrived and secured
them from the roof, then a 4-foot by 4-foot second of glass was cut away
so they could escape. The rescue lasted 90 minutes, during which the
men remained calm. The scaffold system was reported to have cost $3
million and is considered the most complex in New York, according to
reports.
