5 post-apocalyptic places in major cities of the world

North Brother Island

This small island, whose width does not exceed 400 meters, is located in the East Rivet, just 350 meters from the mainland. Until 1885, it was uninhabited, until the Riverside Hospital, which specialized in the treatment of smallpox, was moved there — the patients needed maximum isolation from the outside world. In the late 1930s, the hospital closed.
