Building collapses in New York, two dead, 17 injured

At least two people have died and more than 17 others have been injured after a three-story building collapsed in Brooklyn, New York. The incident has sparked a massive search and rescue operation as authorities continue to try to pull out survivors who may be trapped under the rubble.

More than 250 emergency services personnel are at the scene, on Flatbush Avenue, where the building suddenly collapsed around 4:00 p.m. local time on Wednesday.

The operation was described as extremely dangerous by the Commissioner of the Fire Department of New York (FDNY), Lillian Bonsignore. According to her, among the people suspected of being trapped are both residents of the building and people who were at the construction site nearby.

Despite the difficulties, rescue teams have continued their work without interruption. Several hours after the collapse, aerial footage documented the moment when firefighters pulled a survivor from the rubble, covered in dust, who was transported on a stretcher to medical teams.

 "Our teams have been working methodically and have not stopped since arriving at the scene this afternoon," Bonsignore stated.

 Images from the scene show the extent of the damage. One side of the building has completely collapsed, exposing the interior, including bedrooms and wardrobes. Personal belongings, clothing and household items are visible amidst the rubble of concrete and deformed metal structures.

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani also arrived at the scene, praising the rapid response of emergency services.

"They arrived in less than a minute and have spent hours working in dangerous and technically very difficult conditions to save the citizens of New York," he wrote on the social network X.

Meanwhile, the cause of the collapse remains unclear. According to municipal authorities, cited by CBS News, the building was built in 1930.

Investigations are expected to determine the circumstances of the incident, while the search and rescue operation continues.
