Everybody is being VERY cryptic about this...

If it were a chopper down, they’d have likely already said so.

It’s weird to hope it’s an aftershock, but at least that’s the least sinister option.....

Mass casualty event?? Is this in any way akin to a ‘man caused disaster’???

Not a time to be out in public with any kind of goods or supplies.

Food, Supplies, Medical should be dispensed from military secured positions.
...not on the streets.

My God, I don’t even want to think what that
might be. Probably include lots of casualties.

I don’t think there’d be a machete attack on US aid workers. If it says Americans, it probably means military in this context, and mass casualty usually means explosion or something that is not individually delivered.

It could be an explosion of a petroleum tank at the port, it could be a terrorist attack. I guess we’ll find out.
