2 Rescued From Scaffold by Painting Sign for Help
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH, Pa. —
Two painters used a little ingenuity to find a way off the side of a building after their scaffold lost power.
The men were stuck Wednesday when the motor lifting the scaffold failed halfway up the building. The painters were too far up to shout for help so they painted a big message: “Send Help. No Power.”
Passers-by on the street called police. Workers fixed the motor, and the painters returned to the ground uninjured.
