Live look here in Brooklyn, New York, where the number
of deaths continues to climb after a building collapsed last night.
We know at least eight people have died,
17 others injured, including seven children.
Apparently right now we're looking at the bottom of a helicopter.
But just after 4 o'clock Eastern time yesterday,
the three-story building partially fell into an open
construction site next door in Brooklyn's Flatbush neighborhood.
The department says that several children
were in the building when it fell.
It is not clear how many people are still missing
and fire crews say the search effort
is proving to be a challenge
because the collapsed building shared a wall with another building.
It's a very unstable situation.
The adjoining building
that remains partially intact is always a danger.
Our main concern is a secondary collapse.
Now that building was home to at least one business
on the ground floor with apartments on the upper floors.
Construction workers apparently doing excavation
at the neighboring site at the time of the collapse.
The cause is under investigation.
