Breathtaking video captured the moment a New York City building collapsed as a terrified resident rushed down a newly exposed staircase.

Ring footage obtained by James Williams showed the building connected to his as it detached and fell to the ground around 4pm on Wednesday in Flatbush, Brooklyn.

The clip showed a brown staircase standing alone as structural foundation to the right of it turned to dust. Wall decorations remained hanging on the walls after the collapse.

People were heard screaming in terror as chunks of the corner building flew into the exposed area and other pieces settled to the ground below.

An FDNY firefighter was seen surveying the immense damage from on top of the structure that remained standing.

A resident then came out of the unit right next to where the wall broke off and was slowly guided down the staircase by the firefighter, the video showed.

Officials confirmed that eight people died in the tragedy, including two children and two construction workers who were working at the site when the building came down.

Cousins Nicole Daniela Rodriguez, nine, and Kevin Santiago Reyes Gonzalez, 10, were killed in the accident, according to The New York Times.
