Two pulled from rubble after NYC building collapses, search underway for others feared trapped: FDNY
Firefighters are searching for trapped victims as investigators examine the cause of the collapse and nearby construction work, officials said.
- A three-story building collapsed in Brooklyn's Flatbush neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon, trapping people under rubble. The New York City Fire Department responded to 2625 Bedford Ave shortly after 4 p.m.
- 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.
- At least one person died and at least 10 people were injured in the collapse. Officials noted, 'One person is still trapped under the rubble and is communicating with first responders.'
- FDNY units deployed drones and flashlights to aid the search as daylight faded Wednesday evening. Video shows four firefighters pulling one victim from the debris and placing them on a stretcher.
- 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.
