It's not clear what caused a retaining wall behind two garages to collapse in Crown Heights, Brooklyn on Friday but heavy rain along the East Coast this week has been responsible for several landslides and severe flooding. At about 7 a.m. on Friday, the wall near 743 Crown St. came crashing down, taking with it at least four cars, according to fire officials.

New York City and its largest teachers union struck a deal on a new contract Thursday, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced, ending a nearly five-year labor dispute and potentially setting a template for negotiations with the city's other unions. Teachers will receive back pay equivalent of nearly 8 percent of their salaries and a series of additional small raises through 2018, according to the nine-year contract.

"John Servati died a hero," fellow swimmer Anna Rae Gwarjanski Tweeted Tuesday. "Held up a concrete wall long enough for his girlfriend to get out from under it before it collapsed again on him."
Officials would only say Servati, 21, of Tupelo, Miss., died after a retaining wall collapsed in his home in Tuscaloosa.
"I understand that he was in a house off-campus and was hit by a retaining wall," school spokesman Shane Dorrill told ESPN. "I don't know how it happened. I do know he was with his girlfriend and she is uninjured."
At least 35 people have died since tornadoes began sweeping through the Midwest and South Sunday.
Servati's coach Dennis Pursley released a statement through the university.
"John Servati was an extraordinary young man of great character and warmth who had a tremendously giving spirit," Pursley said. "He will forever be in our hearts and a part of the Crimson Tide legacy."

A mudslide in Yonkers Wednesday night caused a retaining wall to collapse near the Glenwood MetroNorth station, leading to rush hour delays Thursday morning.
Mud, soil, and bricks buried the northbound local track, the MTA said. Two tracks are out of service and a third one has a 30 mile per hour speed restriction. Up to 30 minute delays are expected in both directions on the Hudson Line. Northbound Hudson Line trains are not stopping at Riverdale, Ludlow, Glenwood, and Greystone, and a MTA bus is being provided.
A retaining wall at a nearby sloped parking lot on Warburton Avenue broke off, taking down several trees as it slid down a steep embankmentleading to debris to land on the tracks about a half-mile from the Glenwood station.
There was a also a mudslide Wednesday night in Port Washington, Long Island, which buried two cars on Harbor Park Driver near Industrial Park Drive. There were no injuries reported.
