NEW YORK (AP) — Two World Trade Center window washers left dangling for over an hour from the nation's highest building are ready to speak about their life-or-death drama.
Union officials say Juan Lizama and Juan Lopez will hold a news conference on Friday morning about the harrowing rescue from 1 World Trade Center.
On Wednesday, a cable suddenly loosened on their scaffold, plunging it into an almost vertical position outside the 104-floor tower, 68 stories above the street.
During the agonizing ordeal, one man called his wife, fearing it might be his last opportunity to speak to her.
Firefighters used diamond cutters to saw through a double-layered window and pull the men to safety.
