Quake-Stunned Haitians Pile Bodies By fallen Homes -- Yahoo News/AP
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Haitians piled bodies along the devastated streets of their capital Wednesday after the strongest earthquake hit the poor Caribbean nation in more than 200 years crushed thousands of structures, from schools and shacks to the National Palace and the U.N. peacekeeping headquarters. Untold numbers were still trapped.
The devastation was so complete that it seemed likely the death toll from Tuesday afternoon's magnitude-7.0 quake would run into the thousands. France's foreign minister said the head of the U.N. peacekeeping mission was apparently among the dead.

My Comment: Living in Montreal has exposed me to the large Haitian community that lives here. One of my business partners is from Haiti, and in the past he has helped me in a number of computer related projects .... both here and in Haiti.
This earthquake has completely destroyed the capital city and the outlining regions. My associate is in shock with what has happened, and he has lost all contact with his family and business associates in the capital .... even though they have generators and satellite communications he has received no word on what has happened.
On days like this .... in the comfort of our homes and places where we work .... we should all take a moment to realize how lucky we are, and on how fragile life really is in this modern day world.
Update: We will have an update on the disaster in Haiti at 21:00 EST.
