Eight people were killed and seventeen injured in the Brooklyn building collapse, reporter Peter Cuddihy tells Good Day LA, citing Mayor Zohran Mamdani. But the emergency extends beyond the fallen building: exposed sections of neighboring apartments pose further structural risks.
Reporting from Brooklyn, Cuddihy describes a nearly century-old building with a store at street level and apartments above. Beside it is an excavation site where another building had been approved for construction.
There is an important distinction between the live broadcast and the upload's description. During the broadcast, Cuddihy says officials have not yet formally linked that excavation to the collapse. The description attributes the collapse to unsafe construction operations at the adjacent property, citing the New York City Department of Buildings.
The report drew more than 100,000 views in twelve hours, already far beyond FOX 11 Los Angeles's usual full-day audience for a regular video.
Cuddihy also clarifies why the search is continuing: city officials say everyone has been accounted for, but crews are checking that nobody remains beneath the debris. The Red Cross is helping displaced residents while authorities assess whether the building's remaining sections must be torn down.
Mayor of New York City since January 2026. He is a member of the Democratic Party and the Democratic Socialists of America.
