HAITIAN EARTHQUAKE

It is being reported that hundreds of thousands of people have died in the 7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti late Tuesday night. The first people to begin assisting survivors were locals, the first witnesses to the destruction and horror that followed. Buildings were flattened, hospitals destroyed, trapping people inside and disconnecting power and phone lines.
