“#Two construction workers injured in NYC building collapse”

Two construction workers were seriously injured when a building collapsed in Brooklyn on Friday.

The three-story structure on Lincoln Road in Prospect Lefferts Gardens was being renovated when an interior wall caved in at around 1:15 p.m., bringing with it part of the roof, the FDNY said.

It took first responders 70 minutes to rescue one of the workers and 80 minutes to pull out the second from under the debris, with dozens of NYPD and FDNY on the scene.
