Pregnant Woman Rescued From Flatbush Building Collapse

A pregnant woman was rescued from the debris of a building collapse in Flatbush, Brooklyn, on November 11, 2026. Firefighters pulled her from the rubble as emergency crews searched the site. Authorities had not yet confirmed her identity or condition.

The three-story building at 1321 Flatbush Avenue collapsed shortly after 4 p.m., falling into a neighboring construction site at 2625 Bedford Avenue. Officials said at least one person was killed and at least 10 were injured. Crews spent hours searching the debris for anyone who might remain trapped.

Before the woman was rescued, a man outside the scene told police and a television news crew that his pregnant wife was inside and that he had received no information about her. The incident also caused damage to the adjacent building at 1323 Flatbush Avenue. That building remained standing, although part of its exterior had been torn away, leaving apartments exposed. Investigators were working to determine what caused the collapse.
