Summary

A three-storey building in Flatbush, Brooklyn, collapsed into an adjacent construction excavation on Wednesday afternoon, leaving 2 people dead and 17 injured. Around 250 firefighters and emergency workers searched the rubble with power saws, search dogs and drones, and several people, including a pregnant woman, were pulled out alive. Four people were reported in critical condition. The collapse also tore away part of a neighboring building's side wall. Officials have not confirmed the cause; the Department of Buildings and law enforcement will investigate. Accounts differ on some details, including how many people were trapped and how many were hospitalized.
