A window-washer dangling from rigging on the side of a downtown Edmonton skyscraper today was rescued and carried to an ambulance on a stretcher.
A video taken by a witness shows the platform swinging wildly, at one point crashing through a pane on the Stantec Tower, two or three floors above ground.
The scaffolding then swings back the other way and, when it hits the building again, the worker slips and is left hanging in a harness.
Emergency crews quickly rescued the worker with a bucket truck.
