Dramatic Rescue - 16th Floor Singapore Skyscraper

An amazing rescue effort, on the sixteenth floor, witnessed by over 50 office workers on the ground, was captured on film as the drama unfolded in the heart of Singapore's business district. Two Chinese men cleaning windows in a gondola became trapped when one of the cables supporting the cleaning unit became entangled, leaving the two men dangling at an angle. With their lives in danger and the very real fear the other cable could snap, a rescue team was dispatched to save the men from a fatal plunge to the bottom of the Maybank Tower. The skyscraper on Battery Road in Raffles Place is in the center of Singapore's downtown business district. The world-famous district features some of the tallest buildings in Asia. H
