Death toll rises to 5 in Brooklyn building collapse as rescuers dig through rubble
Rescuers recovered five bodies and hospitalized 19 people as crews searched the rubble for others possibly trapped beneath the collapsed building.
- Rescuers recovered a fifth victim from the collapsed building site in Flatbush, Brooklyn, just after 6 a.m. on Thursday, as the injury count reached 19.
- The three-story residential structure fell into an excavation area at an adjoining construction site around 4 p.m. Wednesday, where New York City buildings commissioner Ahmed Tigani noted that workers were digging a lot next door for a new building.
- FDNY Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore described the recovery efforts as "dangerous and perilous," with about 250 firefighters using hand tools, Con Edison vacuums, and K-9s to locate survivors.
- Seventeen people were hospitalized, including four in critical condition, while resident Anderson Velez told the New York Post his wife and two children, ages 7 and 2, were rescued alive from the wreckage.
- Investigators continue working to determine what caused the building to fall, as Mayor Zohran Mamdani called the situation "incredibly challenging" due to dangerous voids beneath the surface that complicate the ongoing search.
