The newly constructed 1 World Trade Center, also known as "The Freedom Tower", has one-hundred-four floors and to the tip of the tower stands 1,792 feet high. A couple of workers at the Freedom Tower found themselves in some serious trouble earlier today, when the scaffolding the were cleaning windows from BROKE 68-floors up!

The NYFD was called on scene and had to break out one of the windows and safely rescued the two workers.

The workers consider themselves very lucky, especially since they were on they way to the 104th floor to clean the windows, but the motor and cables on the scaffold broke at floor 68.

NYFD and all Fire Departments, always heroes.
