This was revealed in a video of a woman exposing what they heard from FEMA executives at the airport. The said footage was shared on X, formerly Twitter, by the handle Wall Street Apes.
"Picked up a flight of pediatric medical supplies that were brought in and are going to North Asheville," the woman said. "We were sitting in the private portion of the airport and we got to overhear an awful lot. The army pilots, the navy pilots, hospital representatives, there was a lot of chatter."
According to the woman, Mission Hospital was told that "it is going to be the morgue center for body recovery of all the fatalities of Helene." She added that the Army Chinook helicopters that can be seen flying are already doing body recovery.
"So, they told Mission Hospital they are not sending refrigerated trucks," she said. "Whatever fatality numbers you are hearing, go ahead and add a couple of zeros."
The woman noted that FEMA was too busy helping illegal immigrants that it passed the responsibility to a private hospital and the army to take over body recovery post-Helene. She also revealed in the clip how private individuals, with their private helicopters and private planes, are the ones who are flying in supplies.

"I was at Hangar 10. I was picking up supplies. There was a stack for the Cajun Navy. There was a stack that looked like it was [ American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals] ASPCA. These are all being sent by private individuals. FEMA is doing nothing," she said.
This development contradicts what DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters in July.
"FEMA is tremendously prepared. This is what we do, this is what they do, and the key here … is to also make sure the communities who are potentially impacted are prepared as well," Mayorkas said at the time. "And it's not just hurricanes and wildfires – also extreme heat, which certainly some parts of the United States are experiencing."
His previous statement is now haunting Mayorkas as Hurricane Helene exposed the agency's shortcomings. According to Mayorkas, FEMA is running out of funds as hurricane season continued to slam the southeastern United States. The organization has enough funds to deal with the aftermath of Helene but "would not have enough to make it through the season," he admitted.
Mayorkas argued that FEMA's disaster relief fund remained in a precarious position and needed fresh funding from Congress ahead of an expected heavy hurricane season. He stressed the need to be ready for the "consequences" of increasingly severe weather events.
