8 dead, 17 injured in Brooklyn building collapse

Our other breaking story we're following right now at 11 a.m. has to do with a building collapse in New York City, in Brooklyn specifically. First responders spent the night searching through the rubble of that deadly building collapse. And obviously investigators are trying to figure out how all of this happened, because for many people who live there, that was likely a shock that this building just came down. And we want to get out right now to Fox's Pete Cudahy, who's live at the scene with the very latest. Pete, we heard from the New York City mayor a little earlier today who said who says the death toll has sadly gone up here. Good morning, Tyler. Yeah, the latest update is from Mayor Zoran Mamdani, who said that eight people have died and an additional 17 people have been injured in this building collapse. Now, we don't know what led to the collapse yet, but these first responders have been working around the clock and Mayor Zoran Mamdani credits the FDNY saying that they sprung into action getting here within a minute of the first 911 call to start that search and rescue mission. This type of rescue is exactly what the FDNY trains for. 250 firefighters, EMS personnel responded and have worked tirelessly to secure the scene and rescue those who were trapped. For hours, firefighters searched through the rubble in the dark. Seventeen people were injured, including seven children, and five of those injuries are said to be life-threatening. The building had a store on its street level and apartments upstairs, and a city official says the building that collapsed is right next to an active construction site. The type of work they were conducting was excavation work on that job site. And so that was what they were working on today. According to the Department of Buildings, the construction site next to the collapsed building has a history of violations, including a stop work order from March. A follow-up inspection in April found that work had resumed despite that order. Later, the city lifted that stop work order in May after violations were corrected. However, the Department of Buildings is now shutting down work at that site once again, though it remains unclear whether the construction work had anything to do with the collapse. Main concern is a secondary collapse. We've taken measures to keep an eye on that and try to ensure that there is no further collapse and we will be here for several days until this entire site is searched for all potential victims. And the Department of Buildings has launched an investigation working with law enforcement here to figure out how this all happened. They're also going to go through a comprehensive review of both the building that collapsed and then also that construction site next door. Tyler? Tyler? Pete, at this point, do we know if anyone is still unaccounted for? So at this point, city officials say that everybody has been accounted for, that there is nobody left who is missing. However, at the same time, the fire chief did say last night that they are going to continue this search for days, and we've seen it today where they're going through the rubble, going through the debris, and trying to move things around to make sure that they are correct and to ensure that there is nobody left under the building. Tyler? Just and just one final question. We're seeing another shot coming in from our sister station up in New York. It looks like there's a podium. Are we expecting an update from officials in a short time? Yeah, so Mayor Zoran Mamdani is expected to come out here at noon, so we are expected to learn more details. Whether that involves more injuries, hopefully not more deaths or anything related to the investigation here. But yes, at noon he is expected to speak and we'll have more information then. I mean, just an incredibly heartbreaking story. Pete Cudahy live in Brooklyn for us with the very latest on this story. Pete, thanks so much.
