Huh. I only thought this sort of thing happened in shithole countries.

Firefighters dug through the rubble of a three-story building in Brooklyn on Wednesday after it collapsed at the edge of a construction site, killing at least one person and trapping others beneath the wreckage.

Firefighters were called to the scene in the borough’s Flatbush section at about 4pm. News helicopter footage showed dozens of firefighters scouring the debris, with a group homing in on one area and appearing to use a saw to cut through the wreckage.

One person died, and four others were rushed to a hospital in critical condition, according to the New York City fire department. Six additional people were taken to hospitals with minor injuries.

The aerial videos showed firefighters digging at least one person out of the rubble and removing them on a stretcher.
