Contexto
Flatbush es un barrio residencial del sur de Brooklyn, una de las zonas más densamente pobladas de Nueva York. Los derrumbes de edificios son sucesos graves en la ciudad, donde muchas viviendas son antiguas y los equipos de rescate deben trabajar entre escombros inestables. Cuando un colapso deja víctimas, las autoridades suelen abrir investigaciones para determinar las causas, que pueden incluir problemas estructurales, obras cercanas o fallos de mantenimiento. El número de víctimas puede seguir cambiando durante las primeras horas y días, por lo que las cifras iniciales deben tomarse como provisionales.
