The Terrifying Moment Two Workers Were Thrown To Their Deaths From A Scaffold During Sandstorm In Iran

HORROR video shows the moment two construction are thrown to their death from a platform during a dust storm.

The pair were working from the suspended platform hanging from the roof of a high-rise building in Iran when the tragedy unfolded.

Phone footage of the drama shows how the apparently unsecured cradle swinging wildly around in a sandstorm in Urmia, West Azerbaijan province.

As both men cling to the flimsy structure, pieces of it begin to fall off as it slams repeatedly into the wall of the building.

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

Seconds later, the other man falls through the railings and manages to hold on by his fingertips.

But he loses his grip, falls and hits the ground with a sickening bounce.

Local officials said they found one of the workers already dead on the ground.

They managed to resuscitate his colleague and rush him to the hospital but he later died of his injuries.
