Welcome back.
Rescuers in New York City sifting through rubble looking
for survivors after a deadly building collapsed right in Brooklyn.
Yeah, Fox Sports' Paige Ellenberger here now with a look at the scene.
Just tragic, Paige.
Yeah, very tragic, Brandon.
This death toll and the collapse now at eight people,
according to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani,
as crews continue to search this morning.
This is a live image of that building collapse.
You can see half of the building next to it just completely ripped off.
If you take a closer look, you can see.
Clothes hanging in what's assumed to be a closet.
We have some crews continuing their work.
On the scene, 17 people are injured, including three firefighters.
At least four of those victims
are in the hospital in critical condition.
At least seven children were inside that mixed-use Brooklyn building
when it came crumbling down.
The collapse happened at about 4 yesterday afternoon.
Rescuers are using pickaxes, power saws, dogs to try to find survivors.
One pregnant woman was pulled from the debris.
Her husband getting emotional and falling into another's arms
when talking about that rescue.
Mayor Mamdani took to X saying, quote,
there are no words for a loss of this magnitude.
My heart is with the families and loved ones of those we have lost,
those who are injured,
and everyone grieving today.
The cause of the collapse is under investigation,
but the city's buildings commissioner noted
when that building fell,
construction crews were doing excavation work at the next lot
over.
For Good Day, I'm Paige Ellenberger.
All right, Paige, thanks.
