Cleaners stuck 23 floors up

Police rescue window cleaners from tower block nightmare

The next time you see a group of window cleaners hanging from your office or your apartment block, take a second to think about just how tough their jobs are. Two cleaners got stuck in their cradle 23 floors up a tower block in Khalidiya recently because of high winds. The cradle swung violently in strong winds, forcing office workers and pedestrians below to be evacuated while police smashed through a window and rescued the brave twosome.
