A building collapse in Brooklyn, New York, has killed at least two people and injured more than 10 others, including children, as emergency workers continue searching the rubble for possible survivors.
The three-storey apartment building, located in the Flatbush area of Brooklyn, collapsed at about 4pm on Wednesday, November 11, plunging into an adjoining construction site where excavation work was underway.
New York City officials said 19 victims had been identified, including seven children, although the total number of people who may have been trapped beneath the debris remained unknown.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirmed that “at least two people died, while more than 10 others were taken to local hospitals with injuries ranging from critical to non-life-threatening.”
