[0:00] Today at 4:01 p.m., the FDNY received a
[0:04] 911 call of a three-story building
[0:07] collapse here on Flatbush at 1321
[0:10] Flatbush Avenue. The FDNY responded
[0:13] within 1 minute and immediately started
[0:16] search and rescue operations.
[0:19] I am heartbroken to share that at this
[0:21] time at least two New Yorkers have
[0:24] passed away. More than 10 New Yorkers
[0:27] have been transported to local hospitals
[0:29] with both critical and
[0:30] non-life-threatening injuries. I want to
[0:34] ask New Yorkers to please take a moment
[0:37] to pray for those who passed away today
[0:39] and all of those who are mourning their
[0:41] loss as well as for a fast and full
[0:43] recovery for all those who were injured.
[0:46] We will continue to update New Yorkers
[0:48] with more information as we have it. I
[0:51] want to thank our city's first
[0:52] responders for their quick and
[0:54] professional response. This has been an
[0:57] incredibly challenging and fast-moving
[0:59] situation with precarious wreckage to
[1:01] navigate and dangerous voids beneath the
[1:04] surface. This type of rescue is exactly
[1:07] what the FDNY trains for. 250
[1:10] firefighters and EMS personnel responded
[1:13] and have worked tirelessly to secure the
[1:15] scene and rescue those who were trapped.
[1:18] And I want to thank ever
