At least eight people are dead
and 18 others injured after a three-story building suddenly
collapsed yesterday in Brooklyn, New York.
Of the victims, two of them are children.
A comprehensive search is now in progress
to look for any possible survivors.
Fox News correspondent Brian Yennis has the latest.
An around-the-clock search and rescue operation now ongoing.
The FDNY using drones to search the rubble
and vacuum trucks to clear debris
as they work to find anyone who might still be trapped.
We expect that there could be more people as this operation progresses.
The units are performing dangerous and heroic work.
Fox spoke to a woman who is helping
a family look for their missing son,
a construction worker who they believe was at the site.
They've made calls to multiple hospitals,
but so far have been unable to locate him.
As long as his family is still standing out there,
I am going to still stand out there with them.
In the meantime, a tremendous amount of anxiety
and desperation here as people wait for news of
their loved ones. Rescue workers have been using
a curtain to shield stretchers whenever a victim
is recovered from the rubble.
You see the white curtain and it goes into a black band and this.
Horrible that someone's child.
This huge hole was already there.
The building was right next door to an active construction site.
Investigators say workers were digging
on site Wednesday afternoon when the building
started to shake before collapsing into the hole.
This just happened so suddenly.
When you know that you have buildings occupied
near round where there's tenants, you got
to be careful, even though you got a job to do,
but you still got to be careful.
This is what the building looked like before
the collapse compared to what's left of it now.
FDNY expects the search
and rescue operation to last for several more days.
