HARROWING footage has emerged of construction workers clinging onto cables for dear life after part of a high rise building site collapsed.
The terrifying accident happened yesterday in Sao Paolo, Brazil, when a structure connecting two buildings 450 feet high suddenly collapsed.
Four builders were seen clinging onto cables between the two high rise buildings, after one plummeted to her death.
Video taken from a nearby building showed the incident and appeared to show workers on the ground scrambling to reach the worker who fell to their death.
Ten fire department vehicles rushed to the scene and rescued those hanging on to the cables, but were unable to save the worker who fell, according to O Tempo.
One of the survivors was taken to hospital with body pain, but is expected to recover.

Finally, one man slips out of the cradle as it falls apart, plummeting to the ground.
