Miracle in New York City as pregnant woman pulled from rubble of collapsed Brooklyn building A man desperately tried to push through emergency responders to get to his wife. "I'm very happy, I'm very happy," he said after the woman was rescued. A pregnant woman has been rescued after a building collapsed in a New York City borough, after her horrified husband desperately pleaded with emergency crews to search for her. The horror incident has left at least one person dead and others injured. Emergency responders swarmed the scene of the three-storey building to help the victims at around 4pm on Wednesday, November 11. Two and a half hours after the collapse, a woman, said to be six months pregnant, was pulled from the rubble. The footage showed her being pushed on a stretcher as the lights of ambulances flashed franticly, Emergency personnel tried to clear the way for rescuers transporting the woman, with one yelling, "Back up! Back up!" A man who believed the person was his six-month-pregnant wife told WABC: "I'm very happy, I'm very happy." Earlier on, the man had desperately tried to push through emergency responders to get to his wife. "She's inside the building. She's pregnant," he told reporters. A complex technical rescue operation is underway and news helicopter footage has captured dozens of firefighters scouring the debris. A group was focused on one area and appeared to use a saw to cut through the wreckage. The aerial videos showed firefighters digging at least one person out of the rubble and removing them on a stretcher. "This is a delicate and high-risk technical rescue operation," an FDNY spokesperson confirmed from the location. Early reports and footage from the scene suggest the affected building was under construction, leaving upper-level rooms and interior framework exposed down to the lower floors. The building that collapsed had been perched at the edge of a lot where another one-story building had been torn down for a construction project. The site was being excavated, and the building that fell down filled the construction pit with bricks and wood. Another building that shared a wall with the collapsed structure remained standing, but its wall was shorn off, exposing the rooms inside, including a bedroom and closets filled with clothing.
