Brooklyn building collapse: 2 dead, 17 hurt as search goes on in Flatbush
A three-storey building with a shop and four flats collapsed into a neighbouring excavation pit in the Flatbush area of Brooklyn, New York, on the afternoon of 11 November 2026. City officials said at least two people were killed and 17 injured, four critically, including seven children. Rescuers kept searching overnight because it was unclear whether anyone else was still trapped, and the cause is under investigation.
