earthquake in haiti

[billy]

The most densely populated part of the island is where the quake struck. Most of the houses were not built on bedrock so the ground only amplified the tremors.
In addition building codes were little to non existent.

The minority of people (that were in control) that had money had a HEAVY roof over there head. And the heavy roofs all fell ON top of there heads.

The people that had no money had a scant covering they call a roof and if it fell it did little to no damage to them.

There is no structure there that did not suffer damage.

Now they are all equals

Just saying..

I survived the Loma Prieta quake in 89 and the Northridge Earthquake in 94'
When structures are built on soft soil even in mild quakes, life sucks.

i agree with ya. though many moreof the poor died than the rich.
i would love to see something like that first hand though without the deaths or hardships. it was the same with the tsunami i would have lovced to have watched it happen. that wave banging up the beach. to see a whole country devastated by e/quake.

sadly thery never happen without casualties.i
haiti is on the news as i type and it's fucking horrendous. you can't do anything else but feel for them
