Eight people died and at least 17 were injured when a three-story building partially collapsed in Brooklyn, New York. Mayor Zohran Mamdani reported that among the injured are three firefighters, and rescue operations continued into Thursday. The building, located at 1321 Flatbush Avenue, collapsed around 4 PM local time. John Esposito from the New York Fire Department mentioned that construction was ongoing on a neighboring site at the time of the collapse. A six-month pregnant woman was among the survivors, and her husband attempted to enter the building to rescue her. In July, a Manhattan tower under renovation was evacuated due to structural concerns.
