This was in a morgue which was located in the basement after hurricane Ike that devastated Galveston Istand. There was a 150 cadavers located in a large walk in freezer located next to the elevator. We had to get on top of the car and hoist it up so the pit could be pumped out. Along with the head there was a bunch of human sludge. It was absolutely the nastiest thing I have ever had to do. Also being the low man on the totem pole I had to change all the buffer oil in all the traction units. The buffers had no oil in them just nasty sagnant water that stunk to high heaven. I took a bath in the first buffer I change and broke out in hives the next morning. First time I ever got a paid day off.
