Footage Of Trapped Workers In Dubai Marina Being Pulled To Safety

If you heard cheers and whoops in Dubai Marina vicinity this afternoon… this is why.

On Wednesday, the ropes of a building hoist became entangled leaving workers trapped at a dizzying height.

The whole episode lasted approximately 20 minutes before help came from within the building, and the workers were pulled to safety.

The footage was shared by Insta account @thegkw who added,

“It was quite harrowing. The winds started up in barely a few seconds, so it was not negligence in any way for them to be out there. It was sudden and random. There were so many of us outside rooting for them and scared at the same time. We love that this is shared, as the mystery guy who helped them up is definitely a Dubai Hero.”

A windy afternoon potentially caused the mishap

The final video shows an empty hoist after the men were successfully saved.

This gives you an idea of just how high it really was
