The next time you are at work feeling bored or frustrated with your desk job, you might want to remind yourself that you actually have it pretty good. Sure, you might get bored form time to time, and things can get a little mundane and repetitive, but at least you know that your job won't require you to risk your life or put yourself in harm's way.
There are many people who decide from the get-go that they are willing to take on a dangerous career. Firefighters and police are probably the first two careers that come to mind when you think about dangerous jobs, although there are many others.
When you see wildlife rescuers take on the daunting task of saving a cow while bulls charge at them, or scientists fight for their lives during an avalanche, it is clear to see that there are many jobs that require bravery in the face of risky situations.
But there are other jobs, like the job in this video, that you might never think about as being dangerous…until something horrifying like this happens.
For the most part, the window washers in this video are safe on a day-to-day basis. Even when shining windows on the 90th floor in the video below, they are strapped in to harnesses on a sturdy lift.
However, when the weather starts to get a little hairy, the lift (with window washers in tow) is sent crashing into the panes of the 90th floor, scaring the diners who watched it all happen while they ate their lunch.
While the gusts of wind left a few broken pieces of glass, only minor injuries were sustained.
Please SHARE, and thank anyone you know who selflessly works a dangerous job!
HORRIFYING! Window cleaners at Shanghai's World Financial Centre sent flying around at 92 storeys by strong winds. Elevated work platform rams into windows a few times and cracks the glass. Fortunately no lives were lost, and the cleaners escaped with minor injuries. But they were left rather traumatised by the incident, and understandably so.READ MORE: http://shst.me/aas
