Two window cleaners were left stranded in a dangling basket 200meters above the ground after the wires of their working platform snapped.
They were left swaying near the 56th floor of the 61-storey skyscraper in south China.
The video of the incident shows the workers swinging in the scaffolding unit under the glazing sun and heat.
According to the Hunan Fire Department, "The wires of the platform had derailed at about noon, causing the cradle to suddenly malfunction in mid-air."
"Temperatures had reached almost 36 degrees Celsius and the two men were directly under the sun. Strong winds were blowing against the basket and the workers were almost like sitting in a swing. It was a difficult situation."
The Daily Mail added that 15 firefighters rescued the cleaners. They were unhurt.
