8 Dead, 15 Injured in Brooklyn Collapse.

8 dead and 19 hurt in Brooklyn Building Collapse.

At 4:01 p.m. Wednesday, the FDNY responded to 1321 Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn for a collapse of a three-story, multiple-dwelling building into an adjacent construction site.

Units arrived within one minute and immediately started search-and-rescue operations. Eight people have been pronounced dead, and more than 15 others have been injured as of 8:00 AM Thursday. "Multiple people from the building and the construction site were trapped," FDNY Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore said. "This will be a prolonged operation. Collapse operations are extremely dangerous. Every move is choreographed and critically important to patient outcomes and member safety. Members have been working methodically and haven't stopped since they arrived this afternoon." More than 250 fire and EMS personnel responded, and search efforts, in coordination with the NYPD, continued Wednesday night. The cause of the collapse is under investigation

Eight people are dead and at least 17 injured, including three firefighters, after the collapse Wednesday of a building in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Thursday morning. Facing dangerous conditions, rescue crews worked through the night to find anyone who may still be trapped in the rubble, he said. Mamdani is “heartbroken,” and “there are no words for a loss of this magnitude,” he said.
