Fire rescue crews had to rescue two window workers in Houston after their work scaffold broke free about 10 stories up the side of a high-rise office tower.
The incident about 1 p.m. Tuesday at Greenway Plaza on U.S. 59, about five miles west of downtown Houston.
The workers and their scaffold swayed in the 50 mph wind, breaking several windows, until a fire-rescue team cut a hole in the nearest plate-glass window and hauled them to safety.
Houston Fire Department officials say the workers were stapped into safety harnesses and weren't in danger of falling from the swaying platform.
