BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: Want to go back to Staten Island quickly again. And we've been showing you these pictures of this collapsed site. It looks like a construction site, something under construction. A number of firefighters had responded.

We now know that at least one person was trapped underneath those boards. This was the live area we were looking at a short time ago. Now we know in the middle of all those firefighters a man was pulled out and taken to a local hospital. No word right now on his condition, but a man has been rescued and taken to an area hospital. That word from Staten Island a short time ago. We'll let you know as we learn more again in New York.
