I lived next to that hospital for 15 years. many people died there. I had no inclination to go in.

And it is a well known fact that the basement that got flooded was the morgue so that water is full of human remains. Families of the deceased were never able to retrieve their bodies for burial, and its believed that this abandoned hospital is one of the most haunted places in New Orleans, if not THE most haunted. I had family that worked there before Katrina and even back then it was scary 😵‍💫 the flooding in that hospital is an example of why the majority of buildings in New Orleans don't have anything below a ground floor. Most homes are on elevated foundations due to the city being barely above sea level.

Some people don't realize this but stagnant water can be very deadly. Falling in or thinking it would be a great scuba diving adventure can kill you obviously not instantly but then again...

Imagine the germs that are accumulated in this flood water in the basement of this hospital for 20yrs.

I lived in New Orleans back in the 1990's. I remember someone telling me, that if their children misbehaved, they would tell them: "When bad little boys and girls die, they don't go to hell. They go to Charity Hospital."

[MeltingHeartsWaxMelts]

I wouldn’t wanna be in that room even with full hazmat coverage 😳

[Duditsjff]

It fucked me up hearing that “nearly 20 years” part… that’s crazy to think about. Katrina doesn’t feel like it was all that long ago

[heyitsme]

Building a city below sea level has got to be one of the dumbest ideas ever

[hajjdawood]

Damn i feel old as hell. I still remember katrina like it happened a few years ago

[TimurTripp]

It has probably been replenished by rain water leaking through the structure, can’t imagine that little evaporation has taken place

[leosoberon]

As a microbiologist, I’m curious to see what’s in that water

[michaeljames]

I bet there is some horrific shit in there. 😮

[luvondarox]

Dude, don't touch it. It's probably sentient by now.

[exoticearthchild]

I still remember the feeling of my dad's steps through that dirty water while he carried me on his shoulders lose trees falling living on the bridge with tons of other family's trying to avoid the super dome one of my first memories I was 4 had nightmares of drowning for several years after that

[nessa]

I cannot imagine how horrible it was to die there, in that.

[DinosWiffleBall]

Everytime you post katrina stuff i get many flashbacks

[moxie]

Out of all of them, this one creeps me out the most. The water is just horrifying to me. 😖

[erin]

Man. I bet that place smells so moldy. Lol.

[DairyNS]

They're so cool knowing that that water was exactly from Hurricane Katrina in 2005

Once again taxpayers, pay close attention to the leadership in these places. Twenty years to tear out this mess and it is still there.
