  "account": "NEW YORK, USA — On Wednesday, a three-story apartment building in Brooklyn collapsed, resulting in at least one death and ten injuries, according to the New York City Fire Department. Firefighters, along with a search dog, were seen working tirelessly to clear the rubble, removing debris in large buckets from the four-unit building constructed in 1930. Drone footage captured debris, including a stove, toilet, and door, falling into a pit at an adjacent construction site. Local media reported that construction workers were among those injured.\n\nApproximately two and a half hours after the collapse, a person was pulled alive from the debris and placed on a stretcher, being transported to a nearby hospital. A man believed the rescued individual to be his pregnant wife expressed joy upon hearing the news. Following this rescue, another person was reported alive from the rubble, with emergency personnel working diligently to extract them as well. The Fire Department received the initial call for the full building collapse around 4 p.m. Eastern time (2100 GMT) on Wednesday.\n\nInitially, four individuals were reported as critically injured, while six others sustained minor injuries. However, two people were successfully rescued. The search for survivors continued, with a search dog actively participating in the rescue efforts.",
