Repairmen fall from IMF building Two window repairmen fell from the International Monetary Fund building in Foggy Bottom on Saturday, but were saved by their safety harnesses.

The two adult men fell when the platform they were standing on came loose and they lost their footing at about 11 a.m., according to Pete Piringer, spokesman for D.C. fire and emergency services. They were wearing safety harnesses and came to an “abrupt stop,” avoiding injury, Piringer said.
