I question the priority of the Obama led US Government efforts in Haiti and assert that the known locations of large concentration of American Citizens in Haiti should have been explored first.
Respectfully, I'll let John Gianacaci, of Hopewell, N.J. answer you. His 22-year-old daughter, Christine, is one of the missing Lynn students.
"This is the United States of America. They perform miracles all across the world ... Where's our miracle?"
The Un and the Haitai gov. are the ones in control...the Us military at the airport.
It is my understanding the Us did search for our citizens first. Important... where they could get thru. Many lives were saved for that...
There were many complaints that the Us was saving only there own, but that did not deter those engaged to save american lives..again.. where they could get thru to them.
Initially they didn’t even have simple tools as shovels, and picks.etc. to get thru the debrie...many stories of Haitians and others digging with their hands for hours only to have debrie fall and cave in.
...(”This is the United States of America. They perform miracles all across the world ... Where’s our miracle?”)...
Of course this is a grieving family and their question is understandable....many others have also asked this difficult question when a loved one is lost, without being in a earthquake zone..the if onlys are just as real and questions and or blame can abound.
Truly it is a heartwretching time and some may not have the answer or the miracle in the way they’ve hoped...others will. Somethings are beyond our knowing or understanding in this life...they just are.
