Eyewitnesses recall New York building collapse as firefighters search for survivors | AFP

Firefighters dig through the rubble after a three-story building collapsed near a construction site in Brooklyn, killing at least eight and leaving people trapped in the debris. "When I was walking by, I started seeing dust all of a sudden, and I was like, what is going on?" recalls 14-year-old Kenneilia. "When I turned my back, I saw the whole building collapse". More than 250 fire and emergency personnel were mobilized.
