OK, so I'm not usually bothered by natural disasters and things like that the way this Haitian earthquake has been bothering me. The scale is simply staggering beyond belief, and in such a poor country makes it that much worse. Port-au-prince may as well have been nuked in terms of the devastation and casualty count. Due to the fact that Haiti is so poor, not a single structure avoided major damage, and it is feared that there are hundreds of thousands dead. The buildings were ramshackle in their best shape, so unlike what would have happened to structures in richer countries, these buildings came down easily and completely, burying untold masses. THEY NEED OUR HELP!!
