Due to the height of the structure, the responder could not contact the workers and did not have time to wait for the ladder.

Firefighters pierced a window on the 37th floor and immediately arrived at the two workers, according to people familiar with the matter.

An ambulance rushed the two men to the hospital.

Doctors expect them to recover completely.
