Bellevue Hospital Evacuated

Bellevue Hospital is being evacuated after officials say equipment and a laboratory was too heavily damaged by flooding after Sandy.

Mayor Bloomberg said in a press conference Wednesday hospital officials initially believed they could sustain operations using a backup generator, but found the water damage was too significant.

The hospital overlooks the East River on First Avenue, which saw heavy flooding during Sandy
