A devastating building collapse in Brooklyn, New York, has reportedly claimed the lives of at least eight people and left 17 others injured, as emergency crews continue searching through the rubble.
The three-storey building, located at 1321 Flatbush Avenue, collapsed on Wednesday afternoon, November 11, sending debris crashing into a neighbouring construction excavation.
Initial reports indicated that one person had died and several others were injured. However, subsequent reports indicated that the death toll had climbed to eight as rescue operations continued.
Firefighters, police officers and emergency medical personnel responded to the scene, where rescue teams worked to locate people who may have been trapped beneath the wreckage.
The collapse occurred at approximately 4 p.m., triggering a major emergency response in the busy Brooklyn neighbourhood.
Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident, including whether construction activities at an adjoining property contributed to the structural failure.
The tragedy has raised concerns about building safety and the potential risks associated with excavation work near existing structures.
Officials have not yet established the cause of the collapse.
The reported casualty figures remain subject to confirmation as emergency operations and investigations continue.
