At least five people were killed and 17 others injured Wednesday, when a three-story building collapsed in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City.
The four-unit apartment building crumpled into a construction site next to it at about 4 p.m. ET.
Seven of the casualties were children, Reuters reported, with at least 17 people taken to a hospital. Four were in a critical condition. Authorities did not confirm if any of the children were among those killed.
Two deaths were announced on Wednesday. Firefighters removed three more bodies on Thursday morning, the Associated Press reported.
Rescuers searched for survivors into the night with about 250 first responders at the scene. "We'll continue to look until we find everybody," FDNY Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore said.
