Worker injured in Brooklyn building collapse alleges corners were cut at construction site: ‘Third-world stuff’

A construction worker injured in Wednesday’s fatal building collapse in Brooklyn alleges that safety measures were inadequate at the adjacent excavation site. The worker, employed by subcontractor Elite Concrete, was hurt when a wall fell on him and has hired attorney Christopher Gorayeb. The collapse at 1321 Flatbush Avenue killed eight people, including two children and three construction workers, and injured nearly 20 others.
