Eight people are dead, including two children, after an apartment building in New York City collapsed into an adjacent construction site Wednesday afternoon, leaving more than a dozen others injured as rescue crews continued searching the rubble Thursday.
The three-story building in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighborhood collapsed shortly after 4 p.m. Wednesday while construction workers were excavating a neighboring lot near the intersection of Flatbush and Bedford avenues. The cause of the collapse is still under investigation.
