Disturbing video footage of New York prisoners burying coffins on an island has surfaced as the city’s coronavirus deaths exceed 3200.
The newly released footage shows more than a half-dozen white-clad prisoners lower wooden coffins into the ground, then stand by as a bulldozer and backhoe dump mounds of dirt on at least 20 of the boxes, which are lined up at the end of a long trench.
But the number of coffins in the video in the midst of the coronavirus plague hanging over the city presents an eerie picture.Source:SuppliedSource:Supplied
