Authorities have rescued two window washers stranded 35 floors above downtown Seattle after their platform got stuck.

Firefighters in climbing gear came down from the roof and rescued them one at a time. The two window-washers were wearing safety harnesses and were not injured.

Seattle fire department spokeswoman Dana Vander Houwen says the platform’s rigging snagged Wednesday afternoon during a job at a Sheraton hotel, but that it was secure.

The hotel is 35 stories high.

Below is raw video from the rescue operation.
