Neil Cavuto Exposes Horrifying Devastation in Staten Island: Sanitation Workers Discovering ‘Bodies’ in Piles of Debris

Neil Cavuto Explores Devastation in Staten Island After Hurricane Sandy: Bodies in the Pile

Fox News host Neil Cavuto spent part of his Saturday program exploring the devastation in some of the worst-hit areas of Superstorm Sandy, noting that roughly a week later, help still has not reached many of those who need it.

Fox News contributor John Tabacco called in from Staten Island to relate the situation on the ground, and said there has been no federal assistance “whatsoever.” The only thing the “convoys” of those who appear to be FEMA agents and homeland security officials have done, he said, is “drive around with clipboards writing things down.”

He explained:

“We have volunteers and other people coming out giving water from their own homes. People need gloves. People need blankets and you can get to these homes. The question is, where is the government assistance? …There’s not a federal agent helping a single person where we are.”

But that’s not the worst of it.

Many of those in Staten Island are saying the death toll will be far higher once we have all the facts, partially because of terrifying situations like what Tabacco described:

“This morning we’re distributing stuff here and we’re helping people dig out, and we hear the sanitation guys scream out that there are bodies in the pile. Everybody jumps on the pile and starts pulling away debris. And, unfortunately, probably not reported right now, but that was about an hour and a half ago, certainly three more people deceased. God bless them…”

Here is video of the interview, via Gateway Pundit:

The host remarked:

“The reason why we’re going back to Staten Island, showing it, is you might hear from officials at FEMA and the administration that everything is fine, that teams are on the ground and they’re addressing this. The fact of the matter is it is not fine, take a look at what’s going on in Staten Island. That is not ‘fine’…

“When we were talking yesterday about officials of all stripes patting themselves on the back, it is little a mystery why so many of their constituents want to just give them a swift kick in the rear.”

As time passes with little or no help, fears of crime and looting are on the rise as well. In nearby Coney Island, roving gangs are already terrorizing the streets, causing people to board themselves in their houses until order is restored.

Here is video of Cavuto’s interview with Maryanne Alessio, a Staten Island resident who had much more to say about the devastation, and the government’s response:

I keep saying this. Being from FL I never saw such idiots running something in mylife as I see here. Look up 2004 fl hurricane season with 4 hurricanes in 6 weeks time and a tropical storm. These people would never make it if left on their own. Defacating in hallways? Really? Dump it outside! Even dogs do not like to live near their own feces. Libs never know how to volunteer or help their fellow citizens. In fl 1 of every 4 homes in the state that year were destroyed. Blue tarps on salvagable homes were seen for miles and miles and when you were leaning up from one hurricane charley, there came Frances, then Ivan, and Jeanne! it was never ending. we did not cry or complain. we dealt with the hand we were given and decided to help others sincenyour home is destroyed what else CAN you do? People had no homes and still volunteered and helped! They never sat there saying woah is me I need someone to do for me!

  Ms. Waters, we Floridians have been through this many times and have learned to prepare and expect these storms. Also, when we get hit, it’s usually not freezing weather afterward. I know it is difficult to watch folks complain like children, but try not to judge them too harshly. It is the first time for many of them, and their nanny-state governments have conditioned them to expect the authorities to step in and coddle them.

  wowjustwow, I guess you can’t read. He said the people wanted MOMMY GOVERNMENT to come save them, but MOMMY GOVERNMENT was a crack whore waiting for her next fix. and right now, MOMMY GOVERNMENT thinks they are the 1% and can help themselves. Just like your comment proves. It doesn’t matter how much money someone has, if they lose everything, they have nothing. POWER IS OUT, how do you expect them to get money out of the bank and go buy new clothes. POWER IS OUT, how do you expect them to get on their computers and check face book and twitter to see where help is? You libetards are such retar ds.

  I agree, I have NEVER seen such dysfunction in my life! After Katrina in Mississippi it looked like it was nuked and not a peep from the people down there. People just got to work themselves. It is like some really can’t help themselves. It seems the Dem Tyrants up there won’t even allow help to come in. They NY media made fun of Romney collecting blankets, water, clothes, diapers, etc. and said give money to the Red Cross instead….For what? Cookies and Hot Chocolate? FEMA giving out water? Great, how about some military grade tents with heaters? The people up there are scary clueless but this is what they voted for. I feel bad for them.

  They are calling out for help to go to Staten Island. What about MSNBC, NBC, CBS or ABC and CNN what are they reporting.

Never, never, never ever depend on the government to do anything right! Government is never the solution and is always the problem. It’s not even their job protect or rescue you especially if you don’t heed evacuation warnings. Take responsibility for your own safety and well being and if you live in a flood prone area expect to do a lot of swimming.

  Why are we not seeing volunteers helping with clean-up?

The churches had set up aid stations with food and clothing. Why aren’t we hearing about the students from NYU and Columbia pitching in to help?

We hear from officialdom that “all is under control” but we hear from people actually living in the effected areas that help is non-existent even though it’s been almost a week since the storm hit. We read here on The Blaze that non-union electrical workers from the South are turned away by union workers, even though thousands are still without power. We see mile-long lines for gas and people dumpster diving for food for their kids.

And, then, we hear from the mainstream media that this is NOT another Katrina??? It sure looks to me pretty much like the same fiasco as what happened in New Orleans! The ONLY difference THIS time is that there’s a presidential election a couple of days from now and the media’s “poster boy” is having a tough time getting himself re-elected. So, just as with the Benghazi scandal and cover-up, the media once again downplays the truth in order to protect their “chosen one.”

The mainstream media is acting just like Pravda and any other state-run propaganda machine! I agree with Pat Caddell… the mainstream media IS an enemy of America and poses a fundamental threat to democracy!

SHAMEFUL at best! TREASONOUS at worst!

And that was just a minimal storm that hit in the right place to pump a bunch of water into New York harbor. If that had been a cat 3 storm they would really been in trouble. As it is the East Coast from Mane south is in hurricane country but it is only taken seriously from North Carolina south. There is no way on earth New York city could be evacuated in a week and they can only predict those storms path within 48 hours or so.

So all those people…..you pay your money, you take your chances.

  1. Maine down to New Jersey is NOT hurricane country.
  2. The problem with this storm system was not the “category” of storm, rather the tides and water surges.
  3. This storm devastated coastal areas. Then, you have the problem of the dense population (highrise buildings).
  4. I am a white, college-educated female from the east coast who has only been on here for a few days and i have concluded that many of you are frustrated, small-minded men who talk a lot about the forefathers but who are actually too afraid to speak your mind in the REAL world. You sit at your computers talking nonsense…just typical frustrated cowards spewing hate.

They are the same Trolls that you you “may hair is on fire ” Democrats screaming ” stolen election ” when Bush won . ( the media is in the Left’s pocket so they only report what the Left wants reported . That is , however, NOT what most Americans want ) At this point, the American people, not the MSM, get to vote in the actual election. The MSM just gets to spew distorted, biased ” news” and opinion columns leading to the election. From the NYT to the BBC to NPR. Lefty Propaganda. Am sure that of the Lefty Obama gets 4 more years, the Media rather than the American people may actually get to determine who will “win” : Obama and Associates. of course.

  I hate to tell you, but Maine to Florida (and into the Carribean) IS HURRICANE COUNTRY! Deny it at your peril! New York gets hit periodically, but has NOT sustained a hit from such a broad storm at a lunar high tide! Once the storm surge raises the water level, the wind-blown waves are free to do their damage–and it is ALWAYS severe! This isn’t just just flooding as one might experience in a river running over its banks, but night-time, wind-driven, major beating by large waves surging across all the natural barriers that normally absorb their energy!

  WOWJUSTWOW, I am a White female from SE Texas. I have been through lots of hurricanes including receiving evacuees from Katrina, only to be crushed by Rita, and in 2008 Ike. Devastation is something I have lived with for years. My husband has always been part of the first responders that help restore order and provide supplies for those who have evacuated. This is what I know first hand.
  
  FEMA hands out forms to receive $2000 that is to aid in disaster expenses. The Red Cross does precious little other than bring an occasional ham and cheese sandwich. Anheuser Busch is a God send with water. Other states sending in linemen to help restore utilities is enough to make the average citizen run out to give what ever they have to aid them in anyway possible. I’ll never forget Mrs Crow giving her last bottle of water to a thirsty line worker as a way to say thank you for coming. The blessings these out of state volunteers give is beyond words. Churches are the life blood to aiding the community. Many churches down south have huge commercial kitchens to feed and house many of the incoming volunteers that arrive from other states.
  
  We pull together resources and manpower to be a blessing to those who need hope just to get through another day. We dry tears as we smile through our own pain. As community caregivers our days start at 6AM and we don’t stop until 10PM. But with each day we see God’s blessings in the progress made. By God and God alone we rise.

  @PANTLOADIAN I don’t know why people want to paint a bad picture of Staten Island, maybe the news is just not getting the accurate picture. Of course their are people who are going to complain that this should have been done and that should have been done… but this was a storm that has never been witnessed by those alive who live on SI. I don’t know how people expect things to be solved so quickly when the magnitude of destruction was so beyond what anyone could ever imagine. Most people prepared for it, we were warned and evacuated out of areas considered zone A. I guess people just want to believe the worst because it validates there belief of what’s going on here. I mean someone already told me to take my liberal mindset and beat it…. why would they say that when I was just trying to point out how my community, both democrats, republicans, independents, etc.. how we are coming together to help our neighbors and community, no one I know is sitting around and waiting for handouts, but everyone I meet and talk to just wants to help, it has most of us united to do what is needed…
  and no one has turned away non-union workers here, that does not exist here on SI during this time of emergency. I don’t know if that answers your question…. but I tried…

“You didn’t rebuild Staten Island.” The government did.
“You didn’t help your neighbors.” The government did.
The only thing Obama is good at is trashing people, places and things like Hurricane Sandy did to New York, NY which was directed there with the use of HAARP.
I believe Obama wanted to destroy the Statue of Liberty.

Mercury One has already collected almost 1 1/2 million dollars for disaster relief. Trucks have already been sent with food and supplies and more are being filled to be sent to NY. I hope Coney Island and Staten Island receive help soon. God Bless them and their families.
  Donate now to Mercury One all money raised goes to relief efforts

People had to make lists call their congressman’s office, check with Mayor Bloomberg and all that. Most areas, when a storm, flood, hurricane is imminent people race to the store and pick up what they know they will need.

It is on Fox news .. it never happens … And New Yorkers and New Jerseyites believe Obama because he is so lovable. Re elect Obama and expect promises that will come come to volition. Re elect Obama because he can’t govern but is lovable and hugs nicely.

  He has a nice smile, he is a great speaker (they don’t know other people write his speeches and they are on a teleprompter), he gives people things.

It’s my guess that government doesn’t care about people affected unless of course you are in the Socialist loving age-group 18-29 years old.

I don’t want to sound callous but those of us who have grown up in hurricane territory know not to depend on the government. You have generators, food, water for several weeks. You also help one another. I thought Staten Island was a blue collar town and from what I can tell assisting each other is how you get things done during the tough times. Does the reporter expect the government to do everything while they sit around and do nothing? I am confused

  Really it’s just a matter of it being an area where we don’t get a large number of natural disasters. I’m about 3 hours North and at a much higher altitude, so due to snow storms I’d never be without a generator. These people, on the other hand, I’d bet rarely have the power go out for longer than a couple hours simply die to their location.

  New york city isn’t america. Hasn’t been for decades. So now they are paying for their arrogance.
  I was considering a donation, until I heard and read the stories about new yorkers/jerseyans yelling for the “scabs” to go home.
  Let them starve and freeze a little longer then. If this was an isolated attitude, other ny/nj residents would be running these union creeps off and welcoming in those who came to help. Haven’t read about that happening. So I’m hard hearted, especially to those who have done so much to help destroy the USA.

  HELLO : This is the mentality that the Obama Far Left ” Big Daddy Government ” creates. This is the thinking that destroyed the USSR. And which is now destroying Europe. Obama and crew are just trying to re-warm it for American consumption. NOBAMA 2012

  I copied this from my previous comment but incase you didn’t see it:
  I live on Staten Island and have spent many hours in my community doing hurricane relief work, I live by the shore and I can tell you that the response from our community and surrounding areas has been nothing short of amazing!!! We are a close community and have been taking care of our neighbors from minute one, we have an abundance of donations and have been organizing through social media, people just driving around giving out meals, coffee,etc. It is not chaos… many caring wonderful people all over Staten Island. Red Cross, FEMA, church groups, salvation army, etc. all helping out! We are the biggest little small town in America and we are taking care of each other!!!!

The liberals who run the blue East Coast states did not plan or prepare for this storm. Once again, liberal policies and misplaced priorities prove fatal.

  Shucks, Tri, they were just planning to run the Blame Bush Card. That’s been their ” ticket to ride” since 2008. Competence ? Patriotism ? Economic intelligence ? Who cares when you can play the Blame Bush / Poor Me : I inherited such a problem Card ?! So Obama . So Democrat. SO OLD. NOBAMA 2012

  @Tri-Ox, Doesn’t this remind you of what happened with Katrina? Governor, and mayor of
  N.O. should have prepared for their state/city. Didn’t happen.

Self-Reliance. Follow the Light of your own Spark. Love one another.

Government destroys all these things or makes people forget so these things are destroyed anyways.

One more fine example of why to never depend on government: Obama sends the help only where he gets the votes.

  Yes but NJ is as blue as they come so it doesn’t make sense.

  Government is a failure, unions are a miserable failure, and people have failed themselves for depending on government.

  @Snow: Not “where he gets votes”, but “where he NEEDS votes”
  
  I have long believed that politicians will take for granted, those groups whose votes are secure. For example, Obama need not cater to the needs of black voters, because their vote is sewn up tight. If they want to be taken seriously, the politicians MUST feel that they are in jeopardy of losing their constituents. NY & NJ, being Union Blue Democrat strongholds, are not “in play”, and therefore are less important to either party than swing state voters.
