This terrifying video shows construction workers clinging on for their own life as the aerial platform they are standing on blows in the wind.
Filmed in Porto Alegre, Brazil, the platform is held up only by ropes and looks as if it may smash at any moment, during a storm at 4pm on Friday, February 9.
One of the two workers was so scared he threatened to jump – but didn’t and the pair were eventually rescued by local firefighters, who abseiled the pair down.
Miraculously, they only suffered minor injuries.
The clip shows two workers holding on tight to a metal platform as a furious storm wildly smashes it against the building they are working on.
They were working on the ninth floor when they faced rain and strong winds.
The storm, that only lasted 20 minutes, saw flooded streets, falling trees and more than 100,000 people were left without light in the Brazilian city.

Wind and grey water meant the construction workers visibility was low as the platform they stood on fell from a horizontal to almost diagonal position and swayed into the building.
The workers clung on for their life as they fell back and forth as a red tube appeared to guide them.
The brave men grab onto the ropes above their head which appear to become more lose as the video goes on.
