Hadn't seen much posted on this lately... some are saying 1000's dead....
To: Sleeping Freeper
With no infrastructure and no emergency first responders, I’d say 100K deaths is a possibility.

some are saying 1000's dead. If the physical damage is that great, I'd say that would be closer that the 'dozens' in the story.

As if Haiti were not a big enough $hithole already.
How much money have we poured into Haiti over the decades??

Talked with a friend who has done missionary work there....Her estimate is the same as yours 100,000s.

I don't think this is the time for this. Watch the
video taken of port-au-prince after the quake. This is very bad.

Took me a few moments to realize what appears to be fog was dust from collapsed buildings.

I guess God couldn’t think of any other way to get rid of the damned place ...

Let's see how our august CIC handles this and what aid he offers> I'm sure he will be held to the same standard as Bush was with Katrina.
By the way, hasn't almost 12 hours passed already? Where is the aid? Where are the emergency personnel? Where are the ships with water purification capabilities. Where are the doctors, nurses, firefighters, etc.?

By the way, hasn't almost 12 hours passed already? It's been about 4 and a half hours, and I don't even want to imagine what aid workers will have to deal with there.

“nube de concreto” is one of the descriptions in the video.
Cloud of concrete.

I know but isn't it time our president, you know, the one who cares so much, fully deployed emergency resources?
He does care doesn't he?

Much of Twitter traffic from there was about the concrete turning into dust.

I think I’m going to leave politics out of it until the dying stops.
To: Anitius Severinus Boethius
Air drops of water would be the first requirement.
Doubtful it would be safe to drive into that country.
This is a disaster of a terrible magnitude.

This is the type of human disaster that ONLY the US Armed Forces can respond to effectively.
Even Cuba could help...doctors...airlift of supplies...organized forces on the ground. Dogs.
Tomorrow the news will be most horrible.
If the US has a heart, we will respond to the best of our ability. It's our own backyard...Monroe Doctrine and all. We claim it, we own it.

They are going to have to come in through the DR, the ports in Haiti are likely unusable at this point. Water is essential, but rubble recovery is target one at this point. Rescue at night in the debris field that was Port-au-prince is going to be a nightmare.
To: Mariner
Help should have already been on the way hours ago. It’s not like we don’t know something about earthquakes.
