Window washers trapped in a lift which swung 'wildly out of control' in high winds have been rescued.
The two workers were in a lift near the top of the 844ft tower when the basket became loose this morning.
Dramatic video footage shows it swinging from side to side and back and forth.
It appears to crash into the side of the building several times.
Multiple windows were broken and shards of glass fell to the ground, with roads blocked off to protect people from the hazard, CTV News reports.
The lift appeared to be moving at a terrifying speed and officials called it a "dangerous situation".
