Several confirmed dead in collapsed NYC building as massive rescue operation continues

At least eight people were confirmed dead early Thursday after a Brooklyn building collapsed — as rescuers continued the desperate mission to find survivors.

Six bodies were pulled from the rubble while two more died after being transported to a local hospital. None of the dead have yet been identified.

At least 19 others were wounded — four critically — after the side of the three-story building fell into an adjacent open construction site in Flatbush just after 4 p.m. Wednesday, according to the FDNY.

At least three firefighters were injured when 69 units and 250 fire and EMS personnel were scrambled to the scene on the corner of Flatbush and Bedford Avenues, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said.

“Rescue workers have spent the night searching the site of yesterday’s building collapse, working under extremely dangerous conditions to find and save anyone who may still be trapped,” he wrote in a statement on X early Thursday.

“I am heartbroken that eight New Yorkers have now lost their lives and at least 17 have been injured, including three firefighters.

“There are no words for a loss of this magnitude. My heart is with the families and loved ones of those we have lost, those who are injured and everyone grieving today.”

Officials warn the operation is ongoing as others may still be trapped under the rubble, as crews use drones, buckets, and vacuum trucks to search through the wreckage.  

City Department of Buildings inspectors checked nearby buildings on Thursday morning while streets were closed in the immediate area, as the public was urged to stay away.

The downed building, constructed in 1930, was a three-story walk-up with four residential units and a commercial space.
