  • This is terrible. I never knew that this happened. I wanted to cry.

  • Blargh! The smell had to have been horrendous & you couldn't pay me enough money to go sloshing around in that flood water with all sorts of grody stuff in it as well as body parts/fluids & formaldehyde & other chemicals used to "preserve" the dead. I wonder how polluted the ground & groundwater in Orange, TX still is today because of Ike & this incident. I you live near this cemetery, please do not let your kids play in the dirt & if you garden, buy new soil & place it on top of the ground.

  • This is actually kind of common in extreme flooding situations. One of those things you just dont want to think about. Its horrible, but it happens.

  • This is why I'm being cremated.

  • how deep did they not bury them like all of them up basicly

  • @neinsudtexas10 it happened in 2005 during katrina, the newspapers nationwide had pictures of caskets in the middle of the road in downtown new orleans

  • thats safe to walk in and I love him saying the old black people lmao wtf dude

    

  • What's with all the negative comments. This is the resting place of people's loved ones. It was a natural catastrophe. Massive surge of water forced the graves open. I don't understand how people take something like this and make rude comments about.

  • @Normpercy normally it's 6 feet

  • It's episodes like this that burial should cease and cremation made law. All of the chemicals pumped into dead bodies pollutes the soil and environment.

  • shit how deep are they buring them two feet i thought they buried them deeper

  • @olivefallopian Really, what fi this happened to you, you wouldn't laugh and i fucking hell know you wouldn't laugh, one of my friends family members was buried here in this same cemetery, if he seen you laugh he would have fucking DdoS'ed you off the bat, IMO, you should be banned for laughing at this.
