A Yale University building under construction in New Haven, Connecticut partially collapsed on Friday and left eight people injured with two of them in critical condition.
The collapse happened at an apartment block on Lafayette Street at around 12.30pm when crews were pouring concrete.
Part of the second floor fell into the first floor and into the basement at the building site where 36 people were working.
It left eight construction workers injured with six of them pulled out of the building by first responders and the other two were able to escape on their own.
New Haven Fire Department responded to the building collapse immediately and found some with broken bones while three others were buried under the rubble.
Hospital officials said none of the injuries are life-threatening.
