Some people died after an apartment building in New York collapsed at a construction site Wednesday afternoon.

Tens more have been injured and some are in critical condition, the BBC reports.

The blast triggered a massive search-saving operation, with more than 250 rescue teams going to the site of the three-story building crash in Brooklyn.

Airshots have shown firemen extracting a survivor, covered in dust, from barella ruins.

Later it was said that she had been a pregnant woman.

Officials have suggested that there is still no known how many people are missing.
