Brooklyn DA launching investigation into deadly building collapse

Yeah, certainly a gut-wrenching moment for many people who lived through this experience. Even neighbors who just were across the street yesterday watching as workers were just combing through all that rubble. We now know, though, from the FDNY that rescue efforts have concluded. They say all victims that were trapped in that rubble have been accounted for. Now, I do want to step to the side so you can just take a look here at what this scene looks like this morning. Now, very much different. FDNY presence has kind of faded out. We're seeing a heavy NYPD presence. Now, just past those red containers, you can see an excavator still working here at the scene. That's as the site has now been turned over to the Department of Buildings and the NYPD for further investigation into what led up to those eight people dying. Five of them lived in that very building that you're looking into now that looks like it was even sawed in half. We know the youngest victim was just nine years old. Now, take a look here. This is video showing you the top. view of the construction site at the center of this tragedy. Now, just yesterday, it was filled with piles of rubble, debris and people's belongings that stretched along that site. Ring video exclusively shown first on News 12 even captured the terrifying moment. Part of that Flatbush Avenue building tore off, crashing onto an active construction site Wednesday afternoon. Now, the mayor said moments after that collapse, construction workers at the site were some of the first to jump back in and dig out victims. Despite their efforts, two workers were among the people killed by that collapse, leaving 18 others hurt, one in critical condition. Now, on Thursday, as FDNY worked through that rain before announcing that all missing people were accounted for, neighbors who were caught in the middle of the disaster were still trying to cope with the pain and terror that they lived through. Take a listen. That thump. That movement in your core, in your abdomen, and it's coming straight up to your chest, and you feel that boom. You just want to hold on to something in your house. And as you could hear, they're just a gut wrenching moment for many of those people who are now living with that horror. Now this is all as the Brooklyn Borough president has shared some list of places that people who want to help those affected can stop by and drop off donations. Now we have shared that full list on our website at news12.com. In Flatbush, Jonathan Calixto, News 12.
