Sidewalk cave-in captured in shocking viral video: ‘NYC is literally falling apart’

Veteran social media superstar Casey Neistat has New Yorkers quaking in their boots after sharing jaw-dropping video of a city sidewalk crumbling underfoot like something out of a disaster movie. In the groundbreaking footage, captioned “gotta watch out on New York City sidewalks,” Neistat can be seen strolling along the pavement when he happens upon a crack in the cement. The influencer — he has 12.6 million subscribers on YouTube and nearly 1 million followers on TikTok — dips an exploratory toe into the sidewalk crevice, whereupon the crater caves in like an “Indiana Jones” booby trap, unveiling a capacious chasm. More specifically, the phenomenon is officially what would be considered a “a cave-in” — a k a “collapse in the pavement into a deep empty space without a solid bottom” (not to be confused with a pothole, which is a shallow hole or crack in the sidewalk), per NYC 311. Neistat, 42, then pokes his camera into the cavern, revealing that it goes down several feet and even contains pipes, as if he found a secret entrance to the kingdom of Gotham’s infamous “mole people.” Read more at #caseyneistat #sidewalks #nyc The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.
