AT LEAST TWO KILLED IN COLAPSED BUILDING IN BROOKLYN

NEW YORK CITY, NOVEMBER 12 /SRNA/ - At least two people have died and more than 17 others are injured after a building in Brooklyn in New York City collapsed into an open construction site, officials have said.

Lilian Bonsignore, an official of the fire service, pointed out that the residents of the building, as well as the construction workers, were blocked under the rubble.

The BBC reports that after the collapse of the three-story building, an extensive search was launched for possible survivors.

According to the British media company, a few hours later one survivor was rescued from under the ruins.

The authorities have yet to determine the cause of the collapse of the building, which, according to archival data, was built in the 1930s.

Mayor of New York Zohran Mamdani also came to the scene of the accident, who praised the work of the emergency services.
