Two dead and at least seventeen injured after building collapses in New York

A partial collapse of a three-story apartment complex in Brooklyn resulted in at least two fatalities and injuries to seventeen others, including seven children. Rescue operations are ongoing, with some individuals still trapped under debris. The incident occurred on Veterans Day, when many people were likely at home due to school and business closures. The building, constructed in 1930, was undergoing demolition work at the time, and previous inspections had ordered a halt to these activities. Rescue teams, supported by 250 firefighters, are searching for survivors and victims, with efforts expected to continue for several days.
