00:32this has been an incredibly challenging and fast-moving situation with precarious wreckage
00:39to navigate and dangerous voids beneath the surface this type of rescue is exactly what
00:45the fdny trains for 250 firefighters and ems personnel responded and have worked tirelessly
00:52to secure the scene and rescue those who were trapped and i want to thank every other agency
00:57who has contributed to this whole of government response
01:06as soon as we have more information on this we will share it directly with new yorkers this was
01:12a devastating collapse and we know that it affects the lives of many new yorkers who live here on
01:18flatbush as we rebuild the city of new york will stand alongside those impacted at every step of the way
01:30this afternoon at approximately 4 0 1 p.m a call came in for a collapse at 1321 flatbush avenue
01:39here
01:39in brooklyn this was a major technical response at a three-story multiple dwelling that collapsed into
01:47an adjacent construction site multiple people from the building and the construction site were trapped
02:04we do not know how many people are still in the collapse zone
02:09and this will be a prolonged operation its cause is under investigation
02:27as the commissioner said this is an extremely dangerous operation for all of our people it's a
02:33very unstable situation the adjoining building that remains partially intact is always a danger
02:41uh where main concern is a secondary collapse we've taken measures uh to keep an eye on that and try
02:50to
02:50ensure that there is no further collapse uh and we'll we will be here for several days uh until this
02:57entire site is searched for all out for all potential victims
03:10the type of work they were the type of work they were conducting was excavation work on that job site
03:16and so that was uh what they were working on today they are they have a plan approved for a
03:23three-story
03:23building but they are uh they have current plans looking for a nine-story building which i've not yet
03:28been approved for at this point all we have at this uh time is excavation work in that section of
03:35the
03:35construction they were yes they were digging down
03:51yeah that that that is correct the fact that we're here during this operation is still ongoing
03:56this is going to be a very fast moving very dynamic situation so yes more than 10 were hospitalized by
04:03the time i got here the most updated number was 19 which we offered you they will likely change and
04:09it
04:10will change by the minute sometimes so as far as the two that are deceased we're not we're not saying
04:15whether they were adults or children we're just saying they were two deceased at this moment
04:19because this is such a very fragile uh um situation here and we really don't know how many people were
04:28in those buildings what was in this building when it collapsed
04:49uh
