UPDATE: Scaffolding dangles over downtown Jacksonville after JFRD rescues two men

Jacksonville first responders rescued two workers dangling from a Jacksonville high-rise on Monday.

The workers were reportedly working to waterproof the building near the 17th floor.

Scaffolding reportedly gave way and left the workers hanging from the side of the BB&T building in downtown Jacksonville.

A crowd gathered below to watch as a special operations team worked to rescue the workers from the roof.

The workers were pulled to safety live on CBS47 Action News Jax at 5:50 p.m.

The rescue forced the closure of Forsyth Street in front of the building.
