Window Cleaners stuck in Canary Wharf

Stranded Window Cleaners in Canary Wharf
So this is what greeted me at the end of my lunchtime walk back to the office...a quick check with all the interested bystanders revealed that it wasn't a terrorist attack (or anything like that), this is the response that is merited in Canary Wharf when some window cleaners get stuck...

...up in the office a similar scene...so I took a few pictures of the (ongoing) rescue attempt-

- the (many) firemen sitting around and smoking on the roof opposite-

- and the appliance they have managed to get into the cofferdam dewatering hole (building crossrail) which couldn't *quite* reach them (zoom in on the picture and you can pick them out with the white helmets)...

Hope it all turns out okay!

Update - both guys now safely on terra firma...
