2 children among 8 people killed in Brooklyn building collapse; rescue operations conclude

Well, that's right. I know through the morning we were even speaking about many families asking where their loved ones were waiting here patiently for any answers. And now sources tell us that there is sort of a silver lining as they tell us that all victims have been found and this has now turned into a recovery mission. That is all hours after that building collapsed onto an open construction site, killing eight people and injuring several others. Now I want to step to the side so you could take a look and see. Now as you're watching there, this is heavy rain. It's It's starting to pour down here on that open pit. This is all as those excavators are now being used to comb through the pile of debris and cement that is left behind. Now, this is after... Search and rescue strategies have now evolved to recovery efforts to identify what caused this destruction. Now, the damage left behind after that building collapsed into an open pit at 2625 Bedford Avenue on Wednesday just before 4 p.m. Now, we even saw earlier canines being brought on the scene, firefighters resorting to buckets to help dig through that rubble. Now, as people search for answers, the Department of Buildings shared the construction site's troubling past, which included two violations for this site on Flatbush Avenue earlier this year and even a stop work order. Now, that was all lifted in May when the site was finally given the green light to move forward. But months later, it's now at the center of this tragedy. And FDNY tells us 19 people are hurt, four of them in critical condition. Now as you again take a look at what remains here of that construction site, DOB tells us they have ordered a full stop work order here while they also check on the structure of that neighboring building. Now again we are just waiting patiently as we're also expected to hear from the mayor later this afternoon on updates on the efforts here.
