Boston firefighters rescued two window washers this morning from the 37th floor of the building at 53 State Street after their rigging malfunctioned. One end of the platform fell about 20 feet to strand the workers. Firefighters closed the street below before breaking the glass and pulling the men to safety. One man was injured and taken to Massachusetts General Hospital. The other man was not badly injured. Flickr user kcrowley posted several photos.
