A building in New York City partially collapsed Wednesday afternoon, killing at least one, trapping others in the rubble and injuring several construction workers on an adjoining site, some of them hospitalized, according to officials and local media.

ABC 7 said its helicopter footage "appeared to show the collapse completely exposing rooms inside the building" in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Flatbush. The New York Times said the collapse "sheared off the wall of at least one apartment and left a staircase, bed and closets exposed to the open air."

Ground-level video on Pix11 shows the remnant of the exposed building as firefighters arrive on the scene.

The Fire Department of New York said the three-story building collapsed into an open construction site just after 4 p.m. Initial coverage from CNN said multiple people were "trapped inside," posting video of firefighters pulling a person out of the rubble, but ABC 7 said later that one person is still trapped and eight were injured.

"Everything went down, and everybody was screaming," witness Melissa Orna told the Times. "The whole building started shaking, and then it just fell."
