Prayers: 3 Story Building Collapses In Brooklyn, New York Leaving 8 Dead, Over A Dozen Injured [VIDEO]

At least eight people have died and 17 others were injured after a three-story residential building collapsed into an adjacent excavation site in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.

The incident occurred just after 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday on Flatbush Avenue near Bedford Avenue.  Workers were actively excavating an adjacent open construction site when the three-story structure fell. The New York City Department of Buildings and law enforcement are investigating the cause, and a full stop-work order has been issued for the site, which previously faced violations related to lack of protection during work.

Lets keep this community and the families effected uplifted in our prayers.
