Kartemquin is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization based in Chicago. She calls this the morality of our national priorities., One interviewee, Andy Nebel, then a reporter for ABC News, says, Sexiness for the news media [in the Chicago heat wave] was, it was about the heat. "19000:10:03,900 --> 00:10:07,499I walked to theambulance and I looked in19100:10:07,500 --> 00:10:09,949and I saw these bodies in there19200:10:09,950 --> 00:10:14,259and they just laid her ontop of the other bodies,19300:10:14,260 --> 00:10:15,973like she was a cord of wood.19400:10:19,581 --> 00:10:22,542And then I thought,well, does that mean19500:10:22,553 --> 00:10:24,509that they're gonnago get other bodies19600:10:24,510 --> 00:10:26,710and lay the bodies ontop of my grandmother?19700:10:30,425 --> 00:10:32,761{\an8}Well the chief medicalexaminer tells us tonight19800:10:32,806 --> 00:10:36,685{\an8}that at least 50 more bodiesawait examination tomorrow.19900:10:36,710 --> 00:10:38,729{\an8}We did get a bit of abreak from the heat tonight20000:10:38,754 --> 00:10:41,668{\an8}but the number of heat-relateddeaths continues to grow.20100:10:42,060 --> 00:10:43,649The crush was so intense,20200:10:43,650 --> 00:10:46,749a refrigerated truck wasbrought in to store bodies20300:10:46,750 --> 00:10:48,580until staff could get to them.20400:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,789Now also, we just saw fivemore refrigerated trucks20500:10:52,790 --> 00:10:53,859go by us.20600:10:53,860 --> 00:10:56,359Apparently the one refrigeratedtruck they've got back there20700:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,659is already full,they're bringing extras20800:10:58,660 --> 00:11:01,059for what could be a verylong couple of days.20900:11:01,060 --> 00:11:02,599It has been a breakfrom the heat,21000:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,749but they're now discoveringthe bodies that were dead21100:11:04,750 --> 00:11:07,379on Thursday and Friday,and they're now discovering them21200:11:07,380 --> 00:11:09,053as they begin to decompose.21300:11:12,843 --> 00:11:14,596There had been noannouncements on the news,21400:11:14,620 --> 00:11:17,641no discussion from thecity, no checking on people.21500:11:18,050 --> 00:11:20,189{\an8}But the minute you see,in the paper or on the news,21600:11:20,190 --> 00:11:22,749{\an8}wherever I saw it first, thatthere're refrigerator trucks,21700:11:22,750 --> 00:11:24,249{\an8}that means there'sso many dead bodies21800:11:24,271 --> 00:11:26,231{\an8}that the coroner doesn'thave room for 'em anymore.21900:11:26,255 --> 00:11:29,055{\an8}That's enough, right thereyou know you were in trouble.22000:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,820You can't bring any more in.22100:11:32,835 --> 00:11:34,909(slow, somber music)22200:11:34,910 --> 00:11:37,823I was at the medical examiner'soffice for a solid week.22300:11:39,180 --> 00:11:42,415They were doing autopsiesvery nearly around the clock.22400:11:42,970 --> 00:11:44,917{\an8}You almost had to run a gauntlet22500:11:44,941 --> 00:11:47,879{\an8}to walk through anywhere,22600:11:47,904 --> 00:11:52,357{\an8}to avoid touching atray that held a body.22700:11:53,882 --> 00:11:55,195It looked like a war zone.22800:11:58,890 --> 00:12:00,720With the medicalexaminer's office,22900:12:01,410 --> 00:12:04,517{\an8}they couldn't afford to gothrough all of the steps,23000:12:04,518 --> 00:12:07,873{\an8}so, everybody had togo and find their own.23100:12:10,610 --> 00:12:12,979{\an8}So I had to get up in atruck and there was maybe 8023200:12:12,980 --> 00:12:18,076{\an8}to a hundred remains ormore, in the bags.23300:12:18,100 --> 00:12:19,969{\an8}So basically had to gothrough every remain,23400:12:19,970 --> 00:12:21,118{\an8}checking toe tags,23500:12:21,661 --> 00:12:24,956until we could find the personsthat we were coming to get.23600:12:24,970 --> 00:12:28,239So in event of someonethat I was picking up,23700:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,799it was like maybe acouple of people on top.23800:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,349So you had to justtry to move them over.23900:12:33,350 --> 00:12:36,469It was just, it was,yeah it was sad really.24000:12:36,470 --> 00:12:37,570You know it's a sight.24100:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,223It did have an emotionaleffect on all of us.24200:12:44,268 --> 00:12:47,579We couldn't just sit andboo hoo with the family.24300:12:47,580 --> 00:12:50,043We had to maintainour professionalism.24400:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,029{\an8}Saturday morning I camein and we had 87 cases.24500:12:57,030 --> 00:13:00,459{\an8}Sunday morning we had 83cases and today we have 117.24600:13:00,460 --> 00:13:01,923{\an8}Now our average is 17.24700:13:03,350 --> 00:13:04,329So what we're seeing here24800:13:04,330 --> 00:13:06,383is we're seeing anexcess mortality.24900:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,833I'm around deathon a daily basis.25000:13:12,850 --> 00:13:14,253'95 was frightening.25100:13:17,030 --> 00:13:22,030{\an8}This was in a SRO, which is asingle room occupancy hotel.25200:13:22,910 --> 00:13:25,169These are folks that couldn'tafford air conditioning,25300:13:25,170 --> 00:13:27,520or the electricity torun the air conditioning.25400:13:28,850 --> 00:13:30,449You can see thewindows are closed25500:13:30,450 --> 00:13:32,500and there's not evena fan in the window.25600:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,769There were two peopleat the same time.25700:13:35,770 --> 00:13:37,539One of 'em was havinga heart attack,25800:13:37,540 --> 00:13:39,633and another guy wasDOA from the heat.25900:13:46,260 --> 00:13:47,869They brought him outand took him over26000:13:47,870 --> 00:13:49,543to the medicalexaminer's office.26100:13:51,270 --> 00:13:54,339And unfortunately this isa sight that I saw often,26200:13:54,340 --> 00:13:58,503but usually victims ofhomicides, not from heat.26300:14:07,170 --> 00:14:09,609{\an8}We cannot sayexactly how many deaths26400:14:09,610 --> 00:14:12,329{\an8}are a direct result of the heat.26500:14:12,330 --> 00:14:15,899{\an8}But we know that the numberof non-violent deaths26600:14:15,900 --> 00:14:18,443{\an8}over the last four dayscontinued to climb.26700:14:19,390 --> 00:14:20,969In the last four26800:14:20,970 --> 00:14:23,369[Judith] Non-violent deaths?26900:14:23,370 --> 00:14:25,609I had to stop and replaythe mayor's comment27000:14:25,610 --> 00:14:28,449a few times over,to try and wrap my head around27100:14:28,450 --> 00:14:30,143what he meant by that term.27200:14:30,832 --> 00:14:34,211That the number of non-violentdeaths continued to27300:14:34,230 --> 00:14:36,869[Judith] Because being cookedto death behind closed doors27400:14:36,870 --> 00:14:39,763seemed to me to be apretty violent way to die.27500:14:46,181 --> 00:14:48,517Oh when you have three,when you have 339 people,27600:14:48,558 --> 00:14:51,089there's a lot of people dead,I mean, that's a lot of people.27700:14:53,146 --> 00:14:54,439[Man At Door] This Mr. Patrick?27800:14:54,463 --> 00:14:55,755[Announcer] Crisis intervention27900:14:55,774 --> 00:14:57,919workers respond tocalls of concern.28000:14:57,943 --> 00:15:00,609A 60-year-old womanhadn't been heard from.28100:15:00,610 --> 00:15:04,109Take all this away fromhere, and open this window up.28200:15:04,110 --> 00:15:05,629Well I'm on the first floor.28300:15:05,630 --> 00:15:07,829[Man] Oh you afraid ofsomebody throwing some bricks28400:15:07,830 --> 00:15:09,339- or something?- They'd come in.28500:15:09,340 --> 00:15:10,970[Man] Oh,you think that might come in?28600:15:10,994 --> 00:15:12,481You have a screenhere, don't you dear?28700:15:12,482 --> 00:15:13,314[Woman] Yes sir.28800:15:13,315 --> 00:15:14,969They'll break the screen open?28900:15:14,970 --> 00:15:16,722What will a sharpknife do to a screen?29000:15:16,723 --> 00:15:19,069[Man] Yes, it will.29100:15:19,070 --> 00:15:21,499[Judith] As I watchedthis agonizing choice29200:15:21,500 --> 00:15:24,669between staying safeand staying cool,29300:15:24,670 --> 00:15:26,719I thought about thenine refrigerated trucks29400:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,909that were parked outsidethe county morgue for weeks,29500:15:29,910 --> 00:15:33,969each one filled with hundredsof deceased Chicago residents.29600:15:33,970 --> 00:15:36,869And how ironic it was,that they finally got29700:15:36,870 --> 00:15:40,453the air conditioning theyneeded while awaiting autopsy.29800:15:43,947 --> 00:15:46,575{\an8}Cooler air came rushingin across the country today,29900:15:46,610 --> 00:15:47,983{\an8}after a brutal heatwave.30000:15:49,810 --> 00:15:52,779Hardest hit was the cityof Chicago and its elderly.30100:15:52,780 --> 00:15:53,949Many are wondering tonight,30200:15:53,950 --> 00:15:56,999how could heat killso many people?30300:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,729{\an8}Sexiness for the new mediawas it was about the heat.30400:16:00,730 --> 00:16:02,459{\an8}But, the real story is,30500:16:02,460 --> 00:16:04,710{\an8}why were people in theseneighborhoods dying?30600:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,179People weren't dyingon the north side,30700:16:09,180 --> 00:16:11,130people weren't dyingin the Gold Coast.30800:16:14,644 --> 00:16:17,867People were dying on thesouth and west sides.30900:16:22,020 --> 00:16:24,149[Judith] Eric gave methe medical examiner's list31000:16:24,150 --> 00:16:26,453of heatwave victimswith their addresses,31100:16:28,510 --> 00:16:30,799and I went frombuilding to building31200:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,609wondering why there were moredeaths in some neighborhoods31300:16:33,610 --> 00:16:36,389than others,and about all the elements31400:16:36,390 --> 00:16:40,459that lead up to someonedying a slow, violent death31500:16:40,460 --> 00:16:42,233alone in the heat.31600:16:44,230 --> 00:16:49,236Why is it that people dieduring an extreme weather event?31700:16:49,260 --> 00:16:52,139{\an8}Well I think peopledie from the heat31800:16:52,140 --> 00:16:56,163{\an8}for two highlycorrelated reasons.31900:16:58,010 --> 00:17:02,779One is 'cause it's hotand they're not able32000:17:02,780 --> 00:17:05,609to defend themselvesagainst the heat.32100:17:05,610 --> 00:17:10,610And that defense could be interms of opening their windows.32200:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,019And in poor,vulnerable communities,32300:17:13,020 --> 00:17:15,309people don't wannaopen their windows.32400:17:15,310 --> 00:17:18,089It could be by turningon the air conditioner,32500:17:18,090 --> 00:17:19,559and in vulnerable communities,32600:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,979people don't haveair conditioning.32700:17:21,980 --> 00:17:25,809And it could also begoing outside their house32800:17:25,810 --> 00:17:29,299and going to an institutionwhere there is air conditioning.32900:17:29,300 --> 00:17:32,679For example, a public librarymight have air conditioning.33000:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,539Or even the lobby ofan apartment house33100:17:34,540 --> 00:17:36,009might have air conditioning.33200:17:36,010 --> 00:17:40,689And, vulnerable communitiestend not to have those as well.33300:17:40,690 --> 00:17:43,499The second,and intimately related factor,33400:17:43,500 --> 00:17:47,879is if you have apre-existing condition,33500:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,039so it's alreadyweakened your body,33600:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,459then clearly it's gonna beeasier for the heat to kill you.33700:17:53,460 --> 00:17:55,689{\an8}[Announcer] It canhappen so quickly.33800:17:55,690 --> 00:17:59,819Temperature inside soars, yourbody can't regulate the heat.33900:17:59,820 --> 00:18:02,539It can happen toanyone of any age,34000:18:02,540 --> 00:18:04,993but seniors areparticularly vulnerable.34100:18:06,673 --> 00:18:08,386The question is,what do we do about that?34200:18:08,410 --> 00:18:11,689Can we minimizethose excess deaths?34300:18:11,690 --> 00:18:13,967And the answer is, yes,we could have minimized it.34400:18:19,411 --> 00:18:21,413We've offered that,but there's not a great number34500:18:21,438 --> 00:18:23,529of people who've come inand taken advantage of it.34600:18:24,107 --> 00:18:26,482There's really verylittle explanation for it.34700:18:27,485 --> 00:18:28,527Thank you.34800:18:35,437 --> 00:18:38,679[Judith] Do you think thishas anything to do with race?34900:18:38,680 --> 00:18:43,806I think that, I have to go with,35000:18:43,830 --> 00:18:46,009there's a sayingin Chicago that's35100:18:46,010 --> 00:18:47,649everything is about race.35200:18:47,650 --> 00:18:50,859The majority of the peoplethat died were minority,35300:18:50,860 --> 00:18:52,459mostly poor.35400:18:52,460 --> 00:18:54,409You don't have tobe poor to be black,35500:18:54,410 --> 00:18:56,509you don't have tobe black to be poor.35600:18:56,510 --> 00:18:57,545But35700:19:00,060 --> 00:19:02,020{\an8}[Judith] Just as manyChicagoans were starting35800:19:02,044 --> 00:19:04,579{\an8}to realise that the blackcommunity had suffered35900:19:04,580 --> 00:19:07,039{\an8}a disproportionatenumber of deaths,36000:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,233{\an8}Mayor Daley wenton the offensive.36100:19:09,570 --> 00:19:12,019[Announcer] For his part,Daley pointed a finger of blame36200:19:12,020 --> 00:19:14,409at some of the familiesof the senior citizens36300:19:14,410 --> 00:19:17,009who died all alonein the hellish heat.36400:19:17,010 --> 00:19:21,229We have to appeal, to allthe family members of seniors,36500:19:21,230 --> 00:19:24,509to call, go over there,see their mother or father36600:19:24,510 --> 00:19:26,510or their aunt anduncle, that is a must.36700:19:27,380 --> 00:19:29,029{\an8}I think there was denial.36800:19:29,030 --> 00:19:33,649{\an8}A lot of the heads ofstate were in denial36900:19:33,650 --> 00:19:35,609{\an8}about what was going on you see,37000:19:35,610 --> 00:19:39,083{\an8}because it didn'ttouch them directly.37100:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,423And because it didn't,they weren't involved directly,37200:19:45,120 --> 00:19:46,523they didn't feel the pinch.37300:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,639Because they had theirair-conditioned places.37400:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,419And they had theirswimming pools37500:19:52,420 --> 00:19:54,500and things thatthey could go to.37600:19:54,501 --> 00:19:57,789Whereas, our people didn'thave anyplace to go.37700:19:57,790 --> 00:19:59,871[Judith] Do you thinkit's really about the heat?37800:19:59,872 --> 00:20:04,093No, no,it's just about the lack of,37900:20:05,750 --> 00:20:08,350oh God help me,I don't wanna say that.38000:20:09,587 --> 00:20:12,519We'll just say,it's about a lack of compassion38100:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,525on a lot of parts.38200:20:14,526 --> 00:20:15,999It's not really
