At least two dead after New York building caves in

A three-storey building in Brooklyn has collapsed into an open construction site, leaving at least two people dead and more than 17 injured.

At least two people have died and over 17 others were injured after a three-storey building in Brooklyn, New York, suddenly collapsed into an open construction site. The incident prompted a massive search-and-rescue operation involving more than 250 first responders working through dangerous and highly technical conditions to search for survivors. Authorities have not yet determined what caused the building to fall. Officials stated that people from both the collapsed structure and the adjacent construction site were trapped beneath the rubble, while emergency crews have successfully pulled at least one survivor from the debris.
