We are mourning too many people we love in the aftermath of yesterday's tragedy. We will grieve and rebuild as one city.
Brooklyn Building Collapse Kills Eight, Including Two Children
On November 11, 2026, the mixed-use building at 1321 Flatbush Avenue collapsed around 4 p.m., killing eight people—Nicole Daniela Salvado Rodriguez, 9; Kevin Santiago Reyes Gonzalez, 10; and six adults, including two construction workers next door. Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani called the loss devastating, noting 18 injuries, with first responders saving lives like a six-months-pregnant woman whose husband wept in relief. The 1930s structure had 98 open violations; investigations now probe possible links to adjacent excavation, as the city supports grieving immigrant communities from Colombia, Ecuador, and Guinea.
