New York City’s mayor says two of the eight people killed when an apartment building collapsed in Brooklyn were children. A city official says the three-story building gave way Wednesday afternoon while construction workers were digging at a neighboring lot. The cause is still under investigation. Mayor Zohran Mamdani said during a news conference Thursday that two of the victims were construction workers. He says 18 people were injured in the collapse and rescue operation. The mayor has ordered safety inspections at about 100 building sites related to the companies involved in the construction project where the collapse occurred.
