ROOSEVELT ISLAND New York City Drone Video

Показать описание
Between the Manhattan towers and revitalizing Queens lies one of New York City's cleanest, safest and most beautiful places to live and work.

Cool fact: Garbage on the island is sucked away by the world's largest Automated Vacuum Collection system - a network of 2-feet wide diameter tubes which suck 10 tons of trash from residents' homes to a central location on island, where it's loaded into shipping containers and boated away.

But how did this pristine place get here? 1,000 years ago, the Native American Lenape people called these 150 acres Minnehanonck. In the mid-1600s, Netherland colonizers called it Hog Island and colonial England named it Blackwell Island in the 1700s. During the 1900s, New Yorkers knew it as Welfare Island, as the state sponsored numerous longterm hospitals there. It received its current title in 1973, named after President FDR.

Now, Roosevelt Island is home to more than 12,000 people. There are four major recreational facilities on the island: Capobianco Field (baseball), Firefighter's Field (soccer), Octagon Field (multi), and Pony Field (multi).

The video opens Blackwell Island Lighthouse Park and highlights the major hospitals and facilities on the way toward the Roosevelt Island Bridge and Tramway Cars. In the middle, you see Strecker Lab and Smallpox Hospital - a pair of buildings which helped shape the course of history. The video closes with the Four Freedoms Park and the amazing view south of the island from above the park.

One would think this is the most valuable real estate in the whole city. Why aren't the billionaires fighting over property on this island?

Seems creepy to live there. It's the home of the city's most infamous and abusive insane asylum and smallpox hospital. Women were raped, beaten, murdered and starved to death there, under the pretext of mental treatment.
