Search for survivors in deadly Brooklyn building collapse | ABC NEWS
Firefighters are digging through the rubble of a three-storey building in New York after it collapsed at the edge of a construction site, killing at least two people and trapping others beneath the debris.
Firefighters were called to the scene in Flatbush, Brooklyn, at about 4pm on Wednesday, local time.
News helicopter footage showed dozens of firefighters scouring the debris, with a group homing in on one area and appearing to use a saw to cut through the wreckage.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said it was a “devastating” incident.
“I am heartbroken to share that at this time, at least two New Yorkers have passed away,” he said.
He said 10 people were taken to hospital, with critical and minor injuries.
