Video obtained by The Post reveals the harrowing escapades of the trio of teen daredevils whose TikTok stunt on the Queensboro Bridge went horribly wrong when one slipped and fell 50-feet into a pitch black steel column.
GoPro footage recorded by the boys shows the three scaling a steel shaft on the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge Feb. 17, as they climbed through tiny doorways and up tight ladders.
A bird’s eye view of the city — with the East River far below — can be seen in the background of the footage wherein the teens from Long Island climb into a service entrance near the walkway of the bridge.

“Bro, my friggin’ heart,” one of the teens can be heard saying in the video as they duck into a column’s service shaft.
“Yo someone go first! Goooo! N—a, go first,” another boy said as the three were entering the dark steel column.
The victim’s nearly fatal fall occurred off camera but video recorded by his accomplices showed the heart stopping aftermath.
“My leg! My leg! My leg!” the boy, later identified in online petitions and fundraisers by the name Frankie, can be heard moaning repeatedly and loudly in the dark, the footage showed.
Despite the piercing pleas, Frankie’s supposed friends appeared to only video tape the cries, did not rush to his aid, and allegedly did not call authorities, according to Frankie’s family.
The clip then cuts to black and resumes as one of the boys climbs out of the shaft and back onto the walking path of the bridge, where he records a voice memo on SnapChat, according to the footage.

“Bro, Frankie is dead. Frankie is f–king dead. Oh my God. No, no, no,” one of the turncoats said.
Frankie spent the next four hours stuck at the bottom of the service shaft, in below freezing temperatures authorities said.
The two teens also took Frankie’s phone, preventing him from calling for help himself, according to a GoFundMe organized by the victim’s family.
First responders were only called to the teen’s rescue when an unidentified woman alerted the FDNY, according to a petition for on Change.org.

Frankie suffered a severe blood loss, developed hypothermia, and requires “multiple” surgeries to fully recover, a GoFundMe for the family claimed.
The footage was posted to a WhatsApp group chat for “urban explorers” and shared with The Post.
The two fair-weather friends will face charges. A 14-year-old boy was charged with reckless endangerment and criminal trespassing and and an unidentified 15-year-old boy was charged with criminal trespassing, according to the NYPD.
