Brooklyn building disaster: A quiet street turns into a nightmare

Original version ·

Everything was normal in Brooklyn until the ground essentially decided to give up.

One minute it is just another residential block, and the next, an entire building is just a pile of rubble. First responders are currently digging through the wreckage, but the casualty count is already heartbreakingly high.

It is wild how quickly a mundane Tuesday can turn into a full-blown catastrophe. The sight of a city structure just folding in on itself is a brutal reminder that safety codes exist for a reason—and they really should be followed better.

Sometimes it feels like the city is held together by little more than tape and hope.
