Security camera footage captures a downtown Aurora street corner disappearing into dust as part of a building falls beside passing traffic. Three people were hurt in the partial collapse Wednesday night, FOX 32 Chicago reports.
Reporter Se Kwon visits East Galena Boulevard, where inspectors assess the damaged structure and crews clear debris. The report shows a caved-in roof, a damaged exterior wall and fallen scaffolding, followed by nighttime footage of firefighters spraying the rubble.
A city official tells Kwon that the building was unoccupied when the collapse happened. "This is obviously a structural issue," the official says. At the end of the report, Kwon clarifies an important distinction: earlier problems with the brick facade were separate from the roof collapse.
The report drew more than a quarter of a million views in its first 11 hours, far beyond the station's usual audience for a regular upload. Alongside the footage, FOX 32 provides a map of downtown street closures affecting Broadway and Galena Boulevard.
A city on the Fox River in northeastern Illinois. It is the state's second-largest city by population, after Chicago.
