In the US, at least eight people died, and 17 were injured after a three-storey building in Brooklyn collapsed at the edge of a construction site. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani shared the latest death toll as firefighters continued to dig through the rubble in the search for others. The building gave way yesterday afternoon while construction workers were digging at a neighbouring lot, a city official said. The cause was still under investigation.
This was the second high-profile structural problem with a building in New York in the past five months. In July, several buildings in Manhattan were evacuated after support columns buckled inside a skyscraper that was formerly the headquarters of Pfizer.
