  "summary": "A three-story building partially collapsed at the edge of a construction site in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn on Wednesday. The collapse occurred shortly after 4 p.m. near Flatbush Avenue, where the building fell into an open site where another edifice had been demolished. The New York City Department of Buildings is on the scene conducting structural stability inspections of nearby buildings, while the NYPD has advised the public to avoid the area due to street closures and traffic delays.\n\nThe Jerusalem Post reported that one person was killed and 12 others were injured in the incident. Of those injured, six people are in critical condition and six sustained minor injuries. Rescuers have pulled a woman from the rubble and rescued four more people later on Wednesday, though officials cited by the Jerusalem Post say searches continue for anyone else trapped. The Guardian US reported that firefighters were seen using a saw to cut through the wreckage as they scoured the debris.",
