In the collapse zone, a pregnant woman was among the rescued. Now, these are the images coming into our newsroom from Brooklyn's Flatbush neighborhood.

This was a major technical response at a three-story, all-dwelling, adjacent construction site. Construction sites were trapped. I can't imagine you're sitting home and on a day off and your wall just collapses and you fall out of it. It's a very horrific sight. It's a tough time for the community.

Crews were clearing the area to make room for K-9 units to find missing people. The Red Cross also on scene. Now, what we know, the building was next to an excavation site from a previously demolished building, but it's not clear from officials tonight if that construction work had anything to do with this collapse. Officials are describing this as a challenging and fast-moving situation with wreckage to navigate and dangerous voids.
