No one was hurt – miraculously – when a broken window tumbled 45 stories onto a street in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood on Thursday.

The window fell during a repair at 450 Folsom St. between Fremont St. and 1st St., San Francisco fire officials said.


It wasn't clear what time the incident happened.

A photo of the building shared by the department's Twitter account showed high rise window washer suspended by scaffolding high above street level.
