A newly released video has captured the horrifying moment a three-story apartment building collapsed in Brooklyn, New York, leaving eight people dead and at least 17 others injured.
The footage, recorded inside resident Anderson Velez’s third-floor apartment, shows the living room wall suddenly breaking apart as the structure begins to crumble. His 9-year-old son and 2-year-old child were inside when the terrifying incident unfolded. Moments later, Velez’s wife rushed into the room, screaming as the walls collapsed around them.
“I am still in shock,” Velez said, describing the emotional toll of the disaster.
Rescue teams worked through the rubble for hours, searching for survivors and recovering victims. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani expressed condolences to the affected families and injured residents.
Meanwhile, investigators are examining construction activity at a neighboring property, where excavation work was underway. Previous building violations and an allegedly ignored stop-work order have also raised questions about the circumstances surrounding the collapse.
