At the time of this reporting, at least four people are dead as a result of the horrific accident, and officials worry that 159 missing people — who were believed to be inside the building at the time of its collapse — are dead.
What are the details?
Rosie Santana, owner of a condominium in the Surfside-area complex, shared video footage of the moments leading up to the building crumbling 12 stories to the ground below.
Santana, who was not in the apartment at the time of its collapse, shared the black and white home security footage to her Twitter feed and captioned it, "I am a resident of one of the condos on the side of the collapse. This is a video from my camera footage inside from the start of the collapse until the lose [sic] of connection (I was away from the building today). Towards the end, you hear the structure failing."
In the video, debris can be seen raining down outside of what appears to be her living room. Ominous shaking and rumbling can soon be heard, and a television box, which is leaning up against a wall in the room, slips as the debris showers even heavier down around the room.
Before the 12-second video cuts, a deep groaning emits from the building just before it crumbles to the ground 12 stories below.
