Firefighters dig through rubble after NYC building collapse kills 2 and traps people in wreckage

Fire officials said a major technical rescue is underway as crews search for trapped people and investigate the cause of the collapse.

  • Firefighters dug through the rubble of a three-story building in Brooklyn after it collapsed at the edge of a construction site Wednesday afternoon, killing at least two people and trapping others beneath the wreckage.
  • The structure fell into an open construction pit, its shared wall shorn off and exposing interior rooms. A one-story building had been previously demolished on the lot for the construction project.
  • FDNY units deployed drones and flashlights to aid the search as daylight faded Wednesday evening.
  • Fire officials have not yet determined what caused the collapse. Rescuers continue searching for others trapped inside while medical personnel evaluate the injured, including several construction workers at the site.
