At least eight people have died following the collapse of a building in New York City, with a further 17 people being left injured.
The three-story building, which fell into an open construction site around 4 p.m. Wednesday, has become the scene of a huge rescue effort that saw a pregnant woman being pulled from the wreckage.
The overnight effort has involved hundreds of emergency responders, including officials from the city's fire and police departments, who have been combing through the debris. Crews used saws to cut through the rubble, while sniffer dogs and aerial drones swept over the remains of 1321 Flatbush Avenue, which had contained several apartments and a store.
