Brazil: Nightmarish moments for workers found hanging in the void fighting for their lives

Tragic moments for workers who were found floating and fighting for their lives after the collapse of a skyscraper in Brazil.

The construction workers working at the site in São Paulo were automatically hooked to cables and left hanging in the air 150 meters from the ground when the huge metal structure they were working on gave way under unclear circumstances.

Firefighters rushed to the scene and using a crane managed to rescue the four workers, but one of the team was killed, according to the authorities’ statement.

The reasons why the structure collapsed are not yet known while an official investigation is underway to clarify the circumstances under which the tragic incident occurred.
