Families searching for loved ones after deadly Brooklyn building collapse

This is still very much a search and rescue operation with crews working carefully to sift through the site, looking for any survivors who may still be trapped in the rubble. Now, the rain is complicating matters, but officials say that their crews are trained for it. It will definitely hinder our efforts, but this type of an emergency is something our members train extensively for, and we will be here until we are 100% sure there are no more people trapped. This entire block of Flatbush Avenue has been shut down. And you can really get a sense of the emotion rippling through the neighborhood just by walking around. Some of the displays are in a YMCA just down the street. We talked to one man there whose son is still missing. He was working on the construction site. We don't have any more information. My son is a good person. This happened Wednesday afternoon. A construction site was actively excavating when the building next to it collapsed into the site, taking down the wall of another building, exposing entire apartments. Hundreds of firefighters. Officers and police have been working on the site around the clock. Search and rescue continued into the night. This is a densely populated part of Brooklyn filled with mostly immigrant communities. This sort of stuff should not happen. This is the richest country in the world and now it's happening in Brooklyn. And if you look at the makeup of these neighborhoods, it's only made up of black and brown people. Mayor Zoran Mamdani says an investigation has been launched into what caused the collapse. If there is anyone or any entity operating in this city, that bears responsibility for what happened, we will hold them fully accountable.
