Drone Footage Shows Mass Burials Underway in New York

New York City has commenced mass burials of numerous deceased virus patients amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Drone footage released Friday shows hazmat-clad laborers have begun filling mass grave sites with dozens of wooden caskets on a small island of the coast of the Bronx in the Long Island Sound, as New York continues to battle the highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the country.

Over the years since the city purchased the roughly one-mile strip of land in 1868, Hart Island — long inaccessible to the public — has gradually become the final resting place of more than 1 million deceased residents with no known next-of-kin, The New York Times reported.

According to the BBC, however, the island, accustomed to the weekly burial of roughly 25 bodies, saw the interment of as many as 40 dead on Thursday alone.

In the video below, bodies are seen being buried in a single trench, with caskets stacked to preserve space:

Experiencing an estimated weekly interment surge of nearly 500 percent as a result of the ongoing pandemic, Hart Island has reportedly expanded burial operations from one to five days per week.

Plots on the island were first set aside for both temporary and mass interment in case of such a need back in 2008, with the city’s Pandemic Influenza Surge Plan For Managing In- and Out-of-Hospital Deaths.

“As of 2007, the [NYC Department of Correction] reported that Hart Island has two prepared sites able to accommodate 19,200 decedents and an additional undeveloped site to support future interments,” the document reads.

Burials on Hart Island are normally carried out by paid prison labor from the city’s famed house of incarceration, Rikers Island, but have since been taken over by private contractors, the BBC reported.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke out in a series of tweets Friday, assuring New Yorkers that bodies buried on Hart Island will be treated with respect.

“The pictures of our fellow New Yorkers being buried on Hart Island are devastating for all of us,” de Blasio said.

“I want to make sure everyone knows what they’re seeing and what is actually happening on Hart Island. Remember, these are human beings. These are neighbors we’ve lost.

“There will be no mass burials on Hart Island. Everything will be individual and every body will be treated with dignity,” the mayor continued.

“We do not anticipate temporary burials on Hart Island except for the unclaimed. Whenever we lose someone and there is a family member or a friend, here in New York or around the world, who wants to make burial arrangements, we hold remains until they are ready. Days, weeks, months — it doesn’t matter.”

“COVID-19 has not changed that,” he added.

That's pretty shocking. Do we take their word for it -- or assume they're lying to us as usual? Do we know those coffins in fact represent a jump in the burials, or are they simply doing a normal week's worth of burials?

I want to believe what I'm told. Problem: certain ppl lie all the time.

First things first. NYC has a huge amount of transient and homeless people who die everyday alone, with no ID, no family, and no way to identify them. These are likely Pauper graves and guess what folks? They are wearing gear to protect themselves because it is now SOP thanks to Covid.

This alarmist bullshit has to cease.

To me, MASS BURIALS invokes the mental image of hundreds or thousands dumped in a trench and covered by a bulldozer. Tens of people doesn't cut the MASS-mustard.

Lived there

In NYC?

I knew a woman there. She was working two jobs and it was killing her.

She had a son and had him in private school since the public schools were so horrible.

She wanted to send her kid out here to me in SW Missouri so she could go to Syria as a cook for the U.N.

I put the kaibosh on that one real quick. ;)

There were so many people dying of Typhus in the camps in Germany that they were using bulldozers to push the bodies into mass graves.

Germany asked the U.S. to sell them DDT to kill the lice that carried the Typhus. The U.S. refused so Germany did the best they could with what they had.

Even Anne Frank died of Typhus. ;)

So the fact that NYC is decadent and inhuman means there's more Covid- 19 death there? Supposedly it has the most hip, advanced health care in the world.
