Two children are feared dead after becoming trapped underneath dirt at a residential construction site near Charlotte, N.C., on Sunday, officials said.
An initial attempt to rescue the children, who are trapped below ground, was unsuccessful, according to emergency responders.
Authorities did not say how the children became trapped, but neighbors told NBC affiliate WCNC that the site was a basement ?under construction and that a wall collapsed, trapping the kids.
Charlotte firefighters, police, a structural engineer and rescuers from surrounding counties are all aiding in the effort.
WCNC reported the two children are a 6-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy. Their father was with them and made the initial call to 911 around 6 p.m. ET
