This is the moment three Chinese workers in two suspended platforms crash against the side of a high-rise building during strong winds.

The incident was filmed in the district of Jinnan in the coastal metropolis of Tianjin in north-eastern China on 26th May.

According to the news site Baidu, three workers repairing the facade of a building on two suspended platforms were suddenly caught out by strong winds and heavy rain.

The platforms swayed in front of the building and slammed into the facade with a thud several times, as seen in the scary footage.

The camerawoman immediately informed the emergency services of the situation and firefighters arrived quickly on the scene.

Reports said that the three workers were safely rescued from the precarious situation.

The camerawoman said the following day: “It was too distressing to look at.”

Two days before in the city of Wuzhou in the southern Chinese province of Guangxi, two workers were left dangling in front of a building after being blown from their position during strong winds.

In the footage, the two workers are seen swinging in front of a tall building by their safety ropes before slamming into a window.

Swinging back across the front of the building like a pendulum, one worker manages to grab the rail of a balcony and steady themselves.

According to the news site Baidu, the two workers were carrying out an exterior wall lighting project when the weather changed and strong winds blew them from their position.

After managing to steady themselves, the workers were able to get inside the building to safety without suffering an injury.
