Investigation into deadly building collapse begins

Eight people are dead, including two children, and over a dozen others injured after a three-story building collapsed into an open construction site in Brooklyn, according to New York City authorities.

Firefighters and police officers spent nearly 24 hours sifting through debris at the construction site in a "dangerous" search-and-rescue operation, fire officials said. Rescue operations concluded Thursday afternoon, after authorities determined there were no more victims, the FDNY said.
