Scaffolding collapse leaves workers dangling off Wisconsin courthouse

Two workers were rescued after becoming trapped above the Milwaukee County Courthouse Thursday when the suspended scaffolding they were working on partially collapsed.

It happened around 2:30 p.m. Thursday.

People were seen lowering ropes down to the workers on the "swing stage" as part of a recovery effort. A third worker who was on a ledge just above the scaffolding came over to help.

Milwaukee firefighters arrived at the courthouse and were seen on the roof and on the ground assisting in the rescue.
