Brooklyn Building Collapse LIVE: One Dead, 12 Hurt as Firefighters Continue Rubble Search in NYC
A deadly building collapse in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighbourhood has killed at least one person and injured 12, raising questions about construction-site safety and what led to the disaster. The three-storey building collapsed beside an excavation site near Bedford Avenue, sending debris into the construction pit and leaving people trapped beneath the rubble. Firefighters continued rescue operations as authorities assessed the damage and investigated the incident.
Local reports say the adjacent construction site had previously received a violation for continuing work while under a stop-work order. The city’s Department of Buildings is investigating the collapse, but authorities have not established whether that earlier violation contributed to the disaster. The collapse also damaged the adjoining building, exposing parts of its interior.
