Mayor Zohran Mamdani said six adults and two children were killed, and 18 others were injured, including 14 civilians and four firefighters. People from Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador and Trinidad were among the dead and injured, he said. Two of those killed were construction workers.
Mamdani also praised construction workers who survived the collapse and then joined firefighters in digging out survivors, thanking “those who ran towards danger when this building collapsed, and in the hours afterwards.”
“People are alive today because of their heroism yesterday,” he told reporters.
