Emergency crews are sifting through rubble in search of any possible victims after a wall collapse in Brooklyn, authorities say.
Fire officials got a call about the collapse at the one-story building on 39th Street in Sunset Park around 1:45 p.m. It's not clear what caused the collapse, nor was it immediately clear if anyone had been inside at the time.
Crews are searching the rubble to be sure no one was caught; the FDNY tweeted photos that showed more than a dozen firefighters at the scene.
From PIX11:
A home partially collapsed in Staten Island early Wednesday, causing neighboring homes to be evacuated, fire officials said.
Authorities received a call at about 5:13 a.m. after a three-story home partially collapsed at 109 Sherman Ave. in St. George.
The three floors collapsed onto the first floor of the vacant home, according to fire chief Phil Solimeo.
Following the incident, two neighboring houses have been evacuated, said authorities.

OK, let's make a list:
1) Safety rules not followed
2) Safety barriers/walls/structures not built or improperly built
3) Workers not trained
4) Inspectors not inspecting
5) Inspectors paid off
Feel free to add.....
Want to bet the contractors were on drugs?
