Cause Sought For World Trade Center Scaffolding Collapse That Leaves 2 Window Washers Dangling
Investigators
are looking into the collapse of a World Trade Center scaffold that
left two window washers dangling from the nation's tallest skyscraper — 1
World Trade Center.
The 104-floor high-rise opened for business earlier this month.
On Wednesday, a
cable suddenly developed slack, flipping a scaffold that left the
workers trapped and dangling 68 stories above the street.
The men held on
to the teetering platform for two agonizing hours. Firefighters used
diamond cutters to saw through a double-layered window to pull them to
safety.
The dramatic
rescue came a little more than a week after the building officially
opened. The drama was followed by Yorkers on the ground and many more
around the world watching on live TV.
