NEW YORK (AP) – Firefighters dug through the rubble of a three-story building in Brooklyn on Wednesday after it collapsed at the edge of a construction site, killing at least one person and trapping others beneath the wreckage.
Firefighters were called to the scene in the borough's Flatbush section around 4:00 pm. News helicopter footage showed dozens of firefighters scouring the debris, clambering over the rubble pile and using their hands and power saws to cut through the ruins.
One person died, and at least four others were rushed to a hospital in critical condition, according to the New York City Fire Department. Six additional people were taken to hospitals with minor injuries.
