From what I'm seeing in pictures and video on the news - there was an active construction site consisting of an excavation/pit, "shored", and an adjacent 3 story building completely collapsed?

I edited my post to put quotes around "shored". Obviously, it was shored in theory, but not really.

Yes, they knocked down the commercial that was the exposure 2 a few months ago.
 
Noticed two cars in teh EMS rundown:
Car 5M : EMS Response Physician
Car 5M9 : EMS Response Physician

Does anyone know who these doctors are?
FDNY BHS Medical Officers are usually in car numbers in the 30's. Are these FDNY medical officers. or hospital physicians?

They are hospital physicians who are on-call as deputy medical directors for the FDNY. They respond on major assignments like this one. Instead of paramedics having to call online medical control for permission to give certain medications (which takes time) they can just ask the doctor on scene with them. They also are capable of performing field amputations if necessary and can issue a “class order” for the assignment meaning medications / other restricted interventions are authorized and EMS doesn’t need to keep asking permission to administer them.
