Human Bones Found Exploring Abandoned Hospital Morgue

This abandoned Italian hospital, which interestingly was built in the early 1900s within the walls of an old existing 18th century monastery building, was closed after it sustained heavy damage from a devastating and deadly earthquake in 2009.
The hospital had one of the most mind blowing morgues that we have ever seen. It had over a half dozen marble autopsy tables making it the biggest morgue that we had ever seen! On top of that, there were old autopsy supplies like formaldehyde left behind, but nothing compared to the real human skull and human bones that must have been leftover from one of the last autopsies performed here when it suddenly and unexpectedly closed in 2009.
The hospital happens to sit right smack dab in the middle of a prestigious Italian university and it should have been a sanctuary for the sick and injured when this central Italian city and its surroundings were struck by a devastating and deadly earthquake back in April of 2009. However, it ended up being anything but that…
Like many of the buildings within that same geographical region, the hospital’s walls cracked, crumbled, and toppled over after the April 6 pre-dawn trembler, forcing the evacuation of the nearly 300-bed hospital just as it was struggling to treat an overwhelming 1,500 more injured people that suddenly had showed up at the hospital emergency room begging for medical attention.
The complete failure of this Italian hospital has turned into a source of public outrage, controversy, and debate, with many people asking how the structure could have crumbled so easily in the 6.3-magnitude earthquake. So immediately the focus became an investigation, with experts eventually claiming that the interior building standards for this earthquake-prone area, which should have been reinforced because of such and were not, certainly factored into the tragedy.
The hospital building, which when it was originally built in the early 20th century, absorbed the existing structures of a old historic 18th century monastery, meaning that all together the hospital was a sort of hodge poge mix of centuries old architecture along with more modern and traditional architecture, with the latter being the main areas to collapse and crumble. And the hospitals architectural was from several different periods of construction ( some from the 18th century, 19th century, and the 20th century) and this eventually created walls and areas with irregular patterns and shapes that couldn’t withstand the strong swaying seismic activity.
Investigators concluded that several sections of the hospital building that did collapse were actually some of the city’s newer architecture, built in the 1970s and should have been built to resist an earthquake of this magnitude, but obviously was not.
The hospital ended up being just 1 of approximately 15,000 buildings that were either damaged or destroyed in the 49 cities, towns and villages around central Italy.
Tragically over 300 people lost their lives in the disaster and the hospital continues to sit abandoned today, a haunting reminder of the horrific April 2009 earthquake.
That’s going to take us to the end of the todays video on the abandoned Italian hospital with real human bones inside!
