Eight people died when a three-story residential building at 1321 Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn collapsed on Wednesday afternoon, while construction work was under way at an adjacent lot. Officials have ended the search and named the victims, who include two children. Reports give injury counts from 18 to dozens. The Department of Buildings has hired an engineering firm for an independent report on the cause, and the inquiry has widened. Authorities are investigating whether any criminal conduct contributed to the collapse. Newsweek reports that planning documents raised concerns before the collapse, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani said sweeps were under way at other sites linked to entities tied to the construction site.
