Emergency responders and search dogs worked through the rubble of a three-story apartment building in New York on Wednesday.
At least one person died and 10 others were injured after a three-story apartment building collapsed in Brooklyn on Wednesday, according to the New York City Fire Department reported by Deccan Herald.
The New York City Fire Department received a call regarding the full collapse of the four-unit building, which was built in 1930, just after 4 p.m. Eastern time.
Rescuers used a search dog and removed large amounts of debris to find survivors. Local media reports indicated that construction workers were among those injured.
WABC footage showed household items like a door, a toilet and a stove amongst the wreckage that had fallen into a pit at a nearby construction site.
Two people were rescued alive from the rubble. One man, who believed the rescued person was his six-month-pregnant wife, told a WABC reporter that he was very happy.
The Fire Department stated that four people were critically injured and six others sustained minor injuries before the two individuals were pulled from the debris.
