Colombia building collapses on camera as earthquake brings death, destruction

A harrowing video showed the collapse of a building after a powerful 7.4 earthquake struck western Colombia on Monday, bringing down buildings across several cities, killing at least 47 as a death toll rapidly rose and others were left trapped in the rubble.

The video shows the building crumbling during the earthquake with onlookers screaming in horror before it ultimately gives way.

Colombia's geological service pegged the magnitude at 7.4 and said the quake struck at a depth of 96 km (60 miles).
