NEW YORK - A three-story apartment building collapsed in New York City on Wednesday, killing at least one person, according to a CBS News video report on the Brooklyn apartment collapse. CBS News said fire officials reported that at least 10 people had been pulled from the rubble in a "major rescue operation." Its reporter Lilia Luciano was at the scene.
The building was in Brooklyn, BBC News reported in a video. The BBC headline said the collapse killed one person and injured 12. Its summary said rescuers were searching for people who "may be trapped" under the rubble of the three-story building.
The accounts differ on the number of people hurt. BBC News reported 12 injured, while CBS News reported that at least 10 people had been pulled from the rubble and did not, in the material reviewed for this report, give an injury count. Both outlets said at least one person died. The two reports do not reconcile the figures for rescued and injured people, and neither summary states how many people remain unaccounted for.
The summaries available for this report do not describe what caused the building to collapse. They also do not say whether the search for people believed to be trapped had finished, or whether any further deaths had been confirmed.
Official information on the collapse is limited to the statements that CBS News attributed to fire officials and the accounts that BBC News reported. Further details were not available in the reports reviewed.
