Haiti earthquake aftermath

A powerful earthquake struck Haiti's capital on Tuesday with withering force, toppling everything from simple shacks to the ornate National Palace. The dead and injured lay in the streets even as strong aftershocks rippled through the impoverished Caribbean country.
--Update 1/13/10--
The Haiti earthquake destroyed thousands of homes and the Haitian government is warning that "hundreds of thousands" could be dead. But death tolls are frequently inaccurate in the immediate aftermath of such disasters.
A Haitian official at the United Nation's said on Wednesday that 100,000 of his countrymen had died in the earthquake the struck near Port-au-Prince, the capital, late on Tuesday and Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive told CNN that he's worried the death toll could climb into the hundreds of thousands.

i'm white but think racism is absolutely fuckin ignorant... especially at a time like this. i agree with the last part Tevonte1 comment. you guys should be dead instead of the people over there. i'm already praying that something sick and twisted happens to the people that made fun of the people in Haiti today.

Im Haitian my self but if you hear the things that happen in Haiti yes this is very sad thousands of innocent people have died but things like turning people into animals killing innocent people for wealth,cutting people heads off and using them for curses putting spells on people for stooped stuff like accident walking into them many people turned to the devil because they think God is asleep when he's not doing voodoo if you don't know what that means it's the devil power I'm not saying only
