    The bbc has a video clip of 2 window cleaners in denver cleaning the windows of a tall building and the rig they are on gets blown about.
    Click here to watch it. Damn I would be sh**ting myself if it happened to me.

    Saw that on sky news. Apparently the safety mechanism failed, causing it to swing. Secondly the men are under investigation to why they were cleaning windows in bad weather.

    Bad day for them :D
