Cell phone video captures rescue of two window washers at a downtown San Diego high-rise (San Diego, California) - 10News is getting the first look at how two window washers spent a few terrifying hours suspended several hundred feet above downtown San Diego. AJ Moyer and his colleague were rescued by firefighters after they got stuck on the 21st floor of the First Allied Plaza building Monday afternoon.

"We just finished doing our drop, and then we were coming back up, and we were almost to the top when the motor started making banging sounds," described Moyer. "We tried to go up and down a couple of times, but it wouldn't let us go."

A motor malfunction stranded the two men in a 3 inch by 30 inch platform, more than 200 feet up in the air.

A motor malfunction stranded the two men in a 3 inch by 30 inch platform, more than 200 feet up in the air. Both men took out their iPhones to capture their view from the top. The cell phone footage showed a news helicopter circling overhead as firefighters rappelled down the building to Moyer and his co-worker, Ryan.

"The firefighters made it really comfortable," said Moyer. "They talked to calm us down, we were just talking about the harbor and how there's a big yacht in the harbor right now." After a few hours, both men were lowered to a roof on the 16th floor. Moyer said only one thing was on his mind -- lunch.

"Where do you want me to wait for you?," asked Ryan in the video. "Subway," said Moyer. When 10News asked if Moyer will be looking for another job anytime soon, he replied he's already got a great job with a great view. "I just figured if you've been doing this long enough, you will deal with something like this eventually, you know?," said Moyer.

Window Cleaning Van Gets Sandwiched In Suburban Detroit Subway

Window Cleaning Van Dives Into Front Window Of Detroit Subway Shop: A van apparently lost use of its brakes and drove directly through the door of a suburban Detroit Subway earlier today, sending one individual to the hospital. Seems the driver couldn't wait to eat fresh. The accident occurred at roughly 2 o'clock this afternoon. We were told by store employees that the store had about 5 customers waiting in line to purchase food and one man sitting down eating. The man sitting down was in close proximity to the front door of the restaurant eating his $5 foot long, when the van, owned by a local window washing company, crashed through. He was sent to the hospital is apparently in okay condition, but was the only one injured in the event. Jim Canny, the store's owner, told us that he was extremely grateful that the accident occurred just after their usual lunch rush, but was concerned of the injured young man's condition. The driver claimed that the van wouldn't brake due to "mechanical failure." We say he was just hungry and couldn't wait to feed the beast. Take a peak below at the carnage.

Other report: A window-washing firm’s van plowed through the front of Subway sandwich shop in Madison Heights and sent a Troy man who was eating lunch in the restaurant to the hospital, Royal Oak Fire Chief Wil White said today. The 3 p.m. collision at 718 E. 14 Mile left the Troy man, 53, with serious injuries, including back injuries, White said. Royal Oak Fire Department paramedics rushed the man to Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, he said. His name was not released. The collision “smashed through the windows of the restaurant,” White added. He did not know why the van driver lost control of the vehicle but said it had been tentatively ruled an accident. The man had been seated alone at a booth in front of the restaurant, “right by the front door,” said Subway employee George Ross, 67. The impact took out “three big windows and the door” of the restaurant on 14 Mile near Rochester Road, Ross said. A total of five customers and employees were in the store at the time, he said. The shop will be closed for days to repair damage that was “pretty extensive,” Ross said.
