probably another ten feet or so. we didn t know the extent of their injuries at that point. so the plan was made to have some of our members proceed to the floor nearby where they were hanging from the scaffolding to remove windows to establish communication with them, to assess their condition. the two men indicate they aren t hurt and their safety harnesses keep them from plummeting to the ground. but rescuers are concerned that may quickly change. no one knows how long the scaffold, or the workers, can hold on. when they sit in their harnesses for a long time it decreases the blood flow to their lower extremities which creates a lot of physiological problems. it s a serious thing. they were starting to get some of that because their legs were starting to get numb. it was a little cold out. firefighters first attempt to use their truck ladder to bring the men down, but it quickly becomes clear they ll have to move on to plan b. our longest ladders are 100 feet long, and
left side of the vessel flooding part of the ship. 30 people were killed, two still missing, the ship ended up resting in waters, some underwater, some not. at the time, they called it the largest ship removal by weight. we feel confident we can do it. we feel confident with other partners we will do it safely and with the least disturbance to the environment and the least disturbance to the economy. the italians and americans put together a salvage plan, released footage and animation of the complicated operation which included attaching heavy cables from poles to keep the ship from sinking even deeper. the work was extremely dangerous. anybody doing any work is going to be in a weird position. so you re going to have to have safety harnesses and equipment that can deal with that kind of

lot of horror. people were staring out at the street saying, no, no, no. heather works on the 18th floor. at one point it was swinging out towards the street. and it actually went up vertical like this. i think that was the scariest point for me because i was thinking for sure somebody with fall out. it really had kind of an apocalyptic feel to it. photojournalist kirby howell works only a few blocks away and gets to the scene quickly, capturing it all on camera. the scaffold swung out halfway between these two buildings here. my biggest fear was that the cables supporting it were going to snap and it would come crashing down to the street. the window washers are wearing safety harnesses, so presumably if the scaffold falls, the men would be left hanging from the top of the building. that s probably little comfort to them as the scaffold flies through the air thrashing violently. it s already plummeted about 15 feet and shards of glass from the building s windows are rainin
poor mojo. at least he s getting his mojo back. sweet. it s funny. we laugh about it a little bit because it doesn t sound serious but it is a big deal. how do you know which to use. the cps does say there is one that if you are shopping for this anywhere out there this is what you need to look for. the tests proved the sleepy paws clickit utility belt is the best. if you have pets are like another member of the family. to think their safety harnesses are sending them into the air without any safety, without protecting them at all is hard to hear. the other thing, they reminds track your insurance policy. does it cover your pet or what does it cover if your pet is in the car and you re in an accident? a lot of people travel with their pets and don t think about them being in danger. it s good to know that. think about yourself. when you brake, you go you kind of move forward. imagine a dog that s not restrained. not good. scary stuff. coming up next we ll hear from
