If you thought finding the kettle empty in the office kitchen was a work-nightmare, how about clinging for your life from 48 floors up?

Two window cleaners were given this bad day at work when their cradle slipped on the side of the building of the DC Tower in Vienna, 144 metres above the ground.

According to reports, the two emerged from the ordeal unhurt, despite being stranded hundreds of metres above the ground in strong winds. Around 30 firefighters helped to rescue the window cleaners and secured the cradle with extra cables.

Check out some of the image below, showing how high the building actually is, and read the full story on the Guardian.
