00:04.000 --> 00:10.380
The it devote out to the beaches
you can see homes that look

00:10.650 --> 00:13.020
literally like they were
shocked with a giant.

00:13.530 --> 00:16.980
Shotgun and will be a whole when
the front and the back looks

00:16.980 --> 00:19.950
like the home was blown out and
everything in there was just

00:19.950 --> 00:23.890
pushed into the streets pushed oblong
with the giant storm surge

00:24.270 --> 00:28.190
and so entire contents of homes are
just empty out through streets

00:28.220 --> 00:32.110
neighborhoods backyards and even
in some cases on top of other

00:32.110 --> 00:35.390
houses brothers two main reasons.
Why you wanna get it out of

00:35.390 --> 00:38.210
the neighborhoods quickly the first
and foremost is the health

00:38.210 --> 00:42.320
reason am this is nice with a lot
of household wastes there and

00:42.320 --> 00:46.630
it's targeting mold mildew and you
just don't want to be around

00:46.630 --> 00:50.960
these large piles they breed disease
they breed bacteria everything

00:50.960 --> 00:56.510
out the second is they block the
roadways they bought the right

00:56.510 --> 01:00.430
away as they blocked traffic and
you in order to get some sort

01:00.430 --> 01:03.720
of normal seen back in those areas
you've got a clear the way

01:03.720 --> 01:07.770
for people to get in there get to
their homes and start rebuilding

01:07.770 --> 01:08.440
their lives.

01:09.070 --> 01:13.220
At this site here at the core is
responsible for moving days

01:13.380 --> 01:15.010
piles of debris that you see.

01:16.120 --> 01:20.220
All over staten island. There are what
are caught Ts esa's temporary

01:20.220 --> 01:24.520
storage sites and this is where
they collect the debris from

01:24.520 --> 01:29.010
the local neighborhoods in areas and
get a men one central location

01:29.390 --> 01:32.750
and the debris from those areas
are being trapped in here.

01:33.130 --> 01:37.360
So that then we can one load of what
the large crane on to barges

01:37.670 --> 01:41.510
and they go up river to all many
Pennsylvania area there you

01:41.510 --> 01:45.090
just see huge piles of debris. But
also in those pilots you see

01:45.090 --> 01:49.370
the personal touches of people's
lives you see the photographs

01:49.370 --> 01:53.790
you see photo albums memorabilia
that people had in their homes

01:53.860 --> 01:58.190
clothing and a the sense of the
scale of the tragedy start stay

01:58.190 --> 02:01.210
here to a little more when you see
how much is starting to pile

02:01.210 --> 02:04.530
up but we know we're getting it
out of your pretty quickly with

02:04.530 --> 02:09.810
Ortiz said twelfth barges up the
river fallen debris and each

02:09.810 --> 02:13.070
one of those barges holds about
two thousand cubic yards.

02:13.380 --> 02:16.620
And the pile keeps getting smaller
and smaller by day. So we

02:16.620 --> 02:20.290
know that the debris out in the
whole areas that were actually

02:20.290 --> 02:22.140
getting it out of the areas..
