- Rescue crews expect a prolonged search of the rubble.

## Summary

A three-storey mixed-use building collapsed in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighbourhood on Wednesday, killing at least two people and injuring others. Firefighters are searching the rubble for survivors, while the cause of the collapse remains under investigation.

The building fell into an adjoining construction site, trapping residents and workers; a pregnant woman was rescued. Fire officials said four victims were in critical condition, 12 were stable and one firefighter had minor injuries. A drone is helping locate people, and officials warned the rescue could be prolonged because shifting the rubble too quickly could create further danger.
