At Least 8 Dead in #Brooklyn #BuildingCollapse, as Crews Scour Rubble

Over a dozen others were injured, some critically, when a 3-story building in the #Flatbush neighborhood collapsed.

The 3-story building collapsed at 1321 Flatbush Ave just after 4PM Wednesday, falling into a hole created by a construction site at a neighboring lot.

Fire officials said the search would most likely continue for days & that they did not know how many people might still be missing.
