Security video captures Brooklyn apartment building collapsing in Flatbush

A view from a neighboring porch shows the Flatbush apartment building collapsing into a cloud of dust. The Ring camera footage appears in FOX 5 New York's report as investigators examine whether excavation next door played a role in the disaster.
Nikki Hauser reports that eight people died, including children, and others remain injured. Everyone has been accounted for, and search-and-rescue efforts have ended.
The segment moves from the security recording to aerial images of crews working through the rubble, then shows renderings of the nine-story building planned next door. Officials have ordered emergency inspections at 100 related sites. An official at a press briefing says a comprehensive investigation is examining both the construction site and the collapsed building. The cause has not been established.
The report drew more than 53,000 views within 16 hours, well beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts. The security footage begins about 35 seconds into the segment.
FOX 5 New York's related reporting also includes Teresa Priolo hearing from families demanding accountability, while Frances Wang examines the investigation and what comes next for those affected.
