Denver firefighters pulled two workers to safety Thursday morning after the scaffolding that was strapped to a high-rise apparently flipped over, 7NEWS reported.
The men were working on a highrise at 17th and Pennsylvania when the scaffolding collapsed and hung almost vertically next to the building, firefighters said. The workers were not on the scaffold and no injuries are reported.
Last November, two window washers working downtown were nearly knocked off their platformafter a boom that secured the platform to the building broke, sending the platform swinging wildly in the air for several terrifying minutes.
The day before that two other window washers pany were injured when the platform fell on top of them as they were working on the roof of a building at 1875 Lawrence Street.
