Reporting from New York
A man who works in a deli across the street from the collapsed building tells me he saw smoke coming out from the roof of the building, but did not hear the collapse itself.
Ahmed describes the situation as being very scary.
The public housing residential building, part of the New York City Housing Authority, is in a residential neighbourhood of the Bronx, one of New York City’s five boroughs just north of Manhattan.
It’s across the street from a charter school and a Catholic church and community centre. It’s also nearby to a number of small stores and bodegas like the deli where Ahmed works, a Dunkin’ Donuts, a flower shop, and a Chinese restaurant.
