Disturbing video shows dead bodies loaded onto truck outside NYC hospitals
New York Post ^ | March 30, 2020 | By Natalie Musumeci

The coronavirus pandemic has slammed New York City so hard that health care workers are using forklifts to load dead bodies into refrigerated trucks, according to a viral video.

The 5-minute and 32-second clip posted to YouTube shows medical officials helping to load the corpses in body bags into the mobile morgue outside Brooklyn Hospital Center in Fort Greene, according to a man shooting the clip who does not identify himself.

“This is for real. This is Brooklyn,” a man filming the terrifying event can be heard saying in the video.

“They putting the bodies in the 18-wheeler … this is no joke … this is Brooklyn Hospital,” the man says as he begs for people to “stay inside” as the deadly virus continues to pummel the city.

The trembling man continues, “This may make you want to take this serious.”

They interviewed a funeral home director on TV and he said it is impossible to hold a funeral with ten or fewer people there. So sad! Weddings have been cancelled or put off, too.

Well it’s probably a refrigerated truck.

Why is the blue sign blurred? The forklift looks old and weird. No identifiable vehicles around.

Color me skeptical.

The man making the video sounds incapable of tying his own shoes every morning. Anyway it's just dead bodies being loaded into a truck with a forklift, nothing to see here.

:: as he begs for people to “stay inside” ::

Says a man who is /outside/ filming “things in bags” being loaded into a box trailer.

Instant credibility

There is so much BS in this I don't know where to start.

For one, how do you know that corpse is a CHINA VIRUS victim? People die in hospitals of all kinds of things. It's more likely a medical error victim.

Oh, please. Remember “Wag The Dog”? Anything can be staged.

This appears to be the same hospital that Todd Starnes filmed as having almost no activity and no one waiting in line for COVID testing.

The video tended to temper public belief that NYC and Brooklyn were in a war like atmosphere.

I think it is entirely possible that this is the cynical administrator response to this video. Creating a very macabre spectacle with a body.

I will also stipulate given the silly dialectics going on here at FR that as Starnes himself says the virus is a serious problem. We should be wise consumers of what the media is telling us about it nonetheless.

They use buckets at women’s health centers. Like a hundred dead bodies a day.

I see nothing wrong with using a forklift. It saves the deceased from being pushed through the hospital. Less people handling the bodies. It’s the safest way. It’s a quick out the window and into the truck.

A funeral director friend of mine said that this is what they have been taught to do. He spoke with a FD in NYC yesterday and said they were extremely behind and overloaded with even normal, non cov funerals.

And the video showed what looked like ONE body, if that was in fact what it was.

Hospital spokeswoman Eileen Tynion confirmed the authenticity of the video footage to The Post...

Not fake, at least, unless skeptics can come up with a reason for the hospital to lie. Unpleasant, yes, but the deceased aren't going to walk there by themselves.
