- At least two people have died and more than 10 were injured after a three-story building in the Flatbush neighbourhood of Brooklyn, New York City, on Wednesday afternoon.
- First responders, search dogs and drones were deployed to the scene, with aerial footage showing at least one person extracted from the debris on a stretcher.
- The collapsed building was located adjacent to an active construction site where recent excavation work had created an open pit.
- A neighboring building that shared a wall with the collapsed structure remained standing, though its outer partition was stripped away, exposing interior rooms.
- Mayor Zohran Mamdani said at least two people were killed, and that more than 10 others were taken to local hospitals with a combination of critical and non-life-threatening injuries.
