In Brooklyn, New York, a three-story building collapsed into an excavation pit at an adjacent construction site where earthworks were underway.
The neighboring project had previously been cited for violations related to construction procedures and the protection of nearby buildings. At least two people were killed, and 19 others were injured, including seven children, with several of the wounded currently in critical condition.The operation is complicated by the risk of a further collapse, part of the adjacent building has been damaged, and an exterior wall has been torn away.
