BROOKLYN, NEW YORK – Crews kept up the search for survivors Thursday, a day after a three-story apartment building in Brooklyn collapsed at the edge of a construction site, killing at least eight people.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said two of the victims were children – adding, at least 18 people were injured, including four firefighters.
The building gave way while construction workers were digging at a neighboring lot.
Mamdani ordered safety inspections at about 100 building sites related to the companies involved in the construction project where the collapse occurred.
