Chinese workers left hanging off skyscraper during storm
A sudden, violent storm in China’s capital Beijing was powerful enough to knock people clean off their feet… and knock several maintenance workers off the side of a skyscraper. The workers were cleaning the many, many windows of the China Central Television (CCTV) Headquarters – the avant-garde skyscraper that looks like the kind of building Escher would have nightmares about. So will the workers now, after falling off the most precarious point: the signature overhang, 162m above ground.
Their harnesses held, thankfully, but that left them dangling and swinging under the 40th floor, much to the horror of downtown Beijing’s residents (the ones that weren’t being blown away themselves, that is). Slowly, carefully and windily they were able to lower themselves down to the relative safety of the ground, unharmed but probably needing a change of underpants. It is unclear whether they were able to finish cleaning the windows.
