Ring camera video shows the moment of Brooklyn building collapse

What did you think?

A firefighter walks through an opening where an apartment wall once stood. In NBC News's report from Brooklyn, correspondent Stephen Romo shows how the building collapse also tore away part of the neighboring building, exposing its interior.

The report opens with Ring doorbell footage of white dust and debris rushing past an entrance during the collapse. At least eight people have died, NBC reports, with search and rescue teams working around the clock in the hope of finding more survivors.

The upload reached about 240,000 views within eight hours, far beyond the audience NBC's Shorts usually draw on their first day. A separate upload of the Ring footage also drew an unusually large audience.

Romo describes earlier demolition and excavation at the construction site while discussing possible causes, without establishing what caused the collapse. He also reports that Mayor Mamdani announced safety sweeps across roughly a hundred projects connected to the companies involved. The report closes with footage of rescuers continuing their work among the rubble.
