A three-storey building in Brooklyn collapsed on Wednesday afternoon, killing eight people. Mamadou Mouctar Balde, whose six-months-pregnant wife was rescued alive from the wreckage, said he had left their home just five minutes before it came down.

Balde said his wife, Fatoumata Binta Bah, 33, and their baby are both doing well. Their two male roommates, also from Guinea, were among those killed; he recalled seeing one preparing to collect a food delivery shortly before the collapse.
