Window washers trapped 78 stories high as winds slam scaffolding into NYC building

High winds in New York City on Feb. 28 caused a scaffolding basket holding two window washers to sway and slam into three windows of a building near Columbus Circle, sending glass raining onto the street below. Officials said the workers were not properly strapped in when they were rescued. No injuries were reported.
