00:01At least two people have died, while others have been trapped in the rubble after a three-story
00:07building collapsed in Brooklyn at the edge of a construction site on Wednesday.
00:12Officials said that at least 17 people have been hospitalized, four in critical condition,
00:18while some 250 firefighters and police officers searched through the rubble.
00:23In a show of support, New York Mayor Zoran Mandani visited the site.
00:30DOB and our law enforcement partners will be leading an investigation into the cause of this
00:35building collapse. As soon as we have more information on this, we will share it directly
00:40with New Yorkers. This was a devastating collapse, and we know that it affects the lives of many New
00:47Yorkers who live here on Flatbush. As we rebuild, the city of New York will stand alongside those
00:52impacted at every step of the way. One official from New York's fire department said that they
00:58expect more people to be pulled from the rubble as the operation progresses, while the city's
01:04buildings commissioner said the building fell when construction workers were digging an empty
01:09lot next door for a new building.
