Two window cleaners are rescued after being trapped in a window cleaning cradle on the 15th floor of a London skyscraper, according to multiple reports. The incident occurs at a tower block in the Southwark area.
Sky News and RTE News report that the workers are in the cradle when it malfunctions, leaving them unable to safely get back inside. The Evening Standard similarly says two men are trapped in the cradle on Blackfriars Road, and highlights the role of the malfunction in causing the situation.
All outlets agree on the basic details: two cleaners are caught outside the building at height, their cradle fails, and emergency response is needed to bring them to safety. The reports focus on the circumstances leading to the rescue rather than on the workers’ injuries or the long-term impact of the incident.
