Eight people, including two children, were killed and 18 others injured after a three-story building collapsed into an adjacent construction site in Brooklyn, New York, on Wednesday.

Around 250 emergency personnel responded, searching through the rubble for survivors. A pregnant woman was among those rescued.

The cause of the collapse remains under investigation, with authorities examining construction work at the neighboring site. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has also ordered a wider review of related construction sites.
