Someone call Chavez while we turn on the earthquake “machine”..

Time to call up that guy in Senegal and ask him if the offer is still on, and then start relocating everybody in the island to safer ground.

Haiti earthquake fault line.

Otherwise known as “Bush’s Fault”. ?

Thank you for this interesting article.

Maybe Port au Prince should not be rebuilt in the same place.

Another massive quake may threaten Haiti

This certainly is an irrefutable statement. Yet somehow I don't feel more informed.

Send Pat Robertson down there.

That's it. Pack them up. Move them to Miramar, sign them up to vote and give them their SEIU card.

Obama's going to do it anyways, we might as well get it over with.

Is this fault related to today’s earthquakes in Bolivia and Costa Rica?

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Rebuilding on the site of the earthquake is not a good idea. Gotta somehow be Bush’s fault.

[Tax Government]

Translation error?

“Port-au-Prince must be rebuilt according to strict seismic norms.”

->

“Port-au-Prince must be rebuilt according to strict seismic standards.”

Time for Haiti to use another primary building material: rubber coated styrofoam.

Construction norms for earthquakes are great if you can pay for them. The resources in Haiti are not going to pay for any such standards in construction beyond, perhaps, the presidential palace.That edifice will surely be rebuilt to level 8 standards even if the rest of Haiti has to be starved to do it. Alternatively, tropical thatched huts and wood construction would be indicated except there aren’t any trees in Haiti...

generate a tremor measuring up to 7.2 - slightly higher than the original quake -
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This is misleading, the first quake was a 7, the scale is logarithmic so a magnitude 8 is TEN times as powerful as a 7. This means that a 7.2 is MUCH stronger than a 7, not just slightly stronger.
