One dead, several pulled from rubble after NYC building collapse; search underway for others feared trapped

Officials confirmed at least one person is dead, and 10 others were injured in a New York City building collapse Wednesday as rescue crews work to remove others possibly trapped inside the structure. 

The unidentified person was killed when a building in Brooklyn's Flatbush neighborhood suddenly collapsed, the FDNY told Fox News Digital. 

Four people were taken to a hospital in critical condition and another six were transported with minor injuries.

Searches for others remain ongoing, the FDNY said. 

It is unclear how many people remain in the building or what caused the collapse. 

The NYPD warned of traffic delays and street closures around the area. 

Inspectors with the city's Department of Buildings are at the scene "assisting with recovery operations and conducting structural stability inspections of nearby buildings," the agency said. 

"We’re closely monitoring the building collapse on Bedford Avenue in Flatbush," New York City Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams wrote on X. "We’re praying for the safety of anyone who may be trapped and for the first responders working to reach them. Our thoughts are with everyone affected and their loved ones."

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani also warned residents to avoid the area. 

"First responders are on the scene of a building collapse on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, where they are working quickly to secure the location and assist New Yorkers," Mamdani wrote in a social media post. 

"Flatbush Avenue is closed from Clarendon Road to Bedford Avenue — please avoid the area so rescue crews can work. We will be sharing what we learn as soon as we can confirm it," he added. "As emergency operations continue, please join me in holding our neighbors and the members of this community in our hearts."
