    Window Washer: 'I Thought I Was Going To Die' - cbs4denver.com
    Hector Estrada was one of two workers on a scaffold that got caught in a windstorm and blew around for nearly 10 minutes, smashing into a building at 18th and Curtis and breaking windows.

    'Nobody knew it was going to be windy, nobody had forecast winds...it was sudden,' Estrada said in Spanish. 'The air was blowing. It turned us around and it crashed us against the wall.'
