CBS New York's coverage of the deadly Flatbush building collapse now includes a view from inside an apartment as the structure gives way.

The home surveillance footage shows an exterior wall detaching and falling outward, filling the scene with dust and debris. Screams can be heard. The sequence unfolds in seconds, capturing the collapse from within a home rather than showing only its aftermath.

The station's Short approached 200,000 views in 23 hours, far beyond the usual audience for its short reports. Its separate coverage of residents' accounts and the investigation also drew unusually large audiences.

The footage documents the moment of collapse, not its cause. CBS New York reports that the search for victims ended Thursday, with investigators moving to the next stage. In its follow-up reporting, survivors joined elected officials at a Friday news conference to share their experiences and demand accountability.
