ValCon888:
The F-22 Raptor has a top speed of 2414km/hr
That means it travels at 40.2km/min.
Formula for time = distance/speed
1530/40.2 = 38.0597
It will take the F-22 Raptor approximately 38 minutes.

Cool.

ValCon888:
No. What I'm saying is, if you greet your friend down the street, the F-22 Raptor will go and meet your friend and come back to meet you before your friend hears your greeting.

Lagos to maiduguri is 1,530 km, how many minutes do you think it will take the F-22 to cover the distance

In this March 9 photo released by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), a Russian Tu-142 maritime reconnaissance aircraft, top right, is intercepted near the Alaska coastline.

U.S. and Canadian aircraft intercepted and escorted two Russian jets that flew over the Beaufort Sea near the Alaska coastline.

'COVID-19 or not, NORAD continues actively watching for threats and defending the homelands 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year,' NORAD Commander said General Terrence J. O'Shaughnessy, said in a statement.

'We are and will continue executing our no-fail homeland defense missions with the same capability and capacity we always bring to the fight.'


O'Shaughnessy said that, amid the coronavirus pandemic:

'They wanted to see if we are able to react are we prepared or impacted by the virus.

Do we have any vulnerabilities'

US F-22 fighter jets have intercepted two Russian IL-38 aircraft entering the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone, as officials say 'they wanted to see if we are able to react' amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Why do I feel uncomfortable with the aspect ratio of the images here?

See:

Size of men : size of machine

Size of machine: size of casket

Size of men : size of the NYCD truck...

Is a drone shot.

Omo this is really sad! Why not just cremate them other than bury them like this
In another 300 years to come some archaeologists will discover this place and a lot of theories will arise from different angles!!

May God rest their souls!
We move

Cremation isn't that simple.

Some bodies are claimed by families.


Families in Brooklyn, a pallbearer and medical staff placed the body of a deceased family member into a hearse at a funeral at Jurek-Park Slope Funeral Home during the coronavirus outbreak Thursday.

The refrigerated truck that was brought onto the island is the same as those currently parked outside hospitals across Manhattan as part of makeshift morgues set up to deal with the number of people dying from the coronavirus outbreak.





THE GRISLY HISTORY OF HART ISLAND: THE FINAL RESTING PLACE FOR OVER ONE MILLION BODIES


Hart Island, sometimes referred to as Hart's Island, has a grisly history and started being used as a cemetery during the civil war in 1868 and there are now more than a million bodies buried there.

Since then it has been used as a women's psychiatric institution, a tuberculosis sanatorium, a potter's field burial site and storage for Cold War anti-aircraft missiles.

After its first use as a cemetery in 1868, the island started to be used as a potter's field for unmarked graves and accounts from the time describe bodies piling up on the island after being transported from hospitals in the city.

By 1958, burials there exceeded 500,000 and it has been used to house the bodies of victims of the 1870 yellow fever epidemic and the 1919 Spanish Flu outbreak.

During the Spanish Flu, when more than 500,000 Americans died, thousands were buried at Hart Island as city burial sites were overwhelmed.


In more recent times, thousands of unclaimed AIDs victims have been buried on the island.

The first were buried in 1985 away from other graves, in the belief that AIDs could infect dead bodies.

In one 200-foot trench the remains of 8,904 babies were buried between 1988 and 1999

It returned to being used as a common grave in the 1980s and is still used to bury unknown or unclaimed people with bodies from across New York taken to the site twice a week and laid to rest by inmates at Rikers Island.

Due to a New York State law from the 1850s and last amended in 2007, a dead person's next of kin on have 48 hours after death to claim a body for burial.

If the body is unclaimed it becomes legally available as a medical cadavar to be used for training at medical schools or mortuary classes.

The island, which can only be accessed by ferryboat, was sold to the city in 1868 and became a final resting place for unclaimed bodies and those used by medical schools.

Those currently buried on Hart Island include people who haven't been identified, unclaimed bodies and people whose families could not afford burial costs.


Workers wearing hazmat suits and other protective gear were spotted burying caskets in a mass grave on New York's Hart Island on Thursday.

Normally, about 25 bodies bodies are buried each Thursday on Hart Island.

That number increased to 72 since the end of March and now to about 100 when coronavirus fatalities increased drastically in the city, according to the Department of Corrections.

The caskets were stacked three on top of each other in the mass grave as inmates used a digger to help transport the bodies.

Workers wearing hazmat suits have been spotted burying caskets in a mass grave on New York's Hart Island as the number of burials quadruples amid the coronavirus pandemic and the city's death roll rises to more than 4,200.
