Wind Gust Traps Worker on 13th Floor in Munich as Firefighters Execute Balcony Rescue

A sudden gust slammed a high-security door shut, leaving a construction worker unable to exit a new high-rise apartment.

Overview

  • The fire department said the door in the unfinished tower at Mahatma-Gandhi-Platz jammed so completely it could not be opened from inside or outside.
  • After attempts to force entry failed, crews deployed an aerial platform to reach the balcony roughly 47 meters above the ground.
  • The worker was brought down safely with no injuries reported.
  • The callout occurred Saturday in Munich, according to the fire department and local media citing its statement.
  • Officials said the extent of any damage to the high-security door remained unclear.
