Three construction workers and a person passing by were injured when a three-story building collapsed in New York.

The three construction workers were working building a fourth floor to the building and working on the third floor when it collapsed. One worker was completely buried after the crash and it took rescue crews almost 20 minutes to get to him. The two other workers was partially buried with concrete but rescued very quickly.
