It happened shortly before 10 a.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">&#8220;It was a high wind factor blowing into the building,&#8221; said Lt. Nick Schneider of NYFD Ladder 4. &#8220;There&#8217;s glass pretty much raining all over the sidewalk when we pulled up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">The FDNY says the two workers were not tied down to safety lines as they dangled precariously on the side of a skyscraper on 58th Street in Columbus Circle. Witnesses reported and video showed the scaffolding was spinning as it dangled.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxweather.com\/category\/wind\">Winds<\/a> were relatively calm near the ground, but it was much winder 780 feet up off the ground,&#8221; Schneider said. &#8220;Whatever the winds like on the street level, once you get up to the 78th floor, it\u2019s a whole different ballgame.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">Schnedier said it was quite the challenging rescue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">&#8220;It was extremely dangerous for the occupants of the scaffolding. It was extremely dangerous for members of the FDNY as well,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Our members were operating essentially on the ledge of a 78-story building.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxweather.com\/weather-news\/severe-weather-threat-south-march-2025\"><strong>30 MILLION BRACE FOR \u2018SIGNIFICANT\u2019 SEVERE WEATHER FROM TEXAS TO MISSISSIPPI TUESDAY AS MARCH ROARS TO LIFE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">When rescue crews arrived on the 78th floor, they found that the window where the workers were dangling was blown out.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">Firefighters were able to tie a rescue rope to the left side of the scaffold before quickly securing the other side.
