John Abraham, who will soon be seen in Kabir Khan's 'New York', had quite a bitter-sweet experience during shooting for the film when he was left hanging mid-way from the 46-storey Philadelphia National Centre building. Since US President Barack Obama was passing by the building and for security reasons, all work around the area had to be shut down, John kept hanging by the cables on the 20th floor and the President was passing by with his entire entourage. The entire unit had left and was inside the building and he was stranded hanging there for two hours.. Helicopters kept on whizzing by above and the wind was blowing like he was in a weird tunnel! He had to hold on to the building with two suction pumps in his hand.
