New York City firefighters have been called to the nation's tallest skyscraper, where two workers are stuck on scaffolding 69 stories above street level.

According to myfoxny.com:

A police official, John Miller, says the partially collapsed scaffolding is hanging at "a 75-degree angle."

Joe Pentangelo, the spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the building says it appears a cable on the scaffolding broke around 1 p.m.

The windows are not removable without cutting or breaking them, which might have to be done to rescue the workers.
