Haiti is FUCKED UP.

[billywatson]

Are you guys seeing this??

[Martin]

Yeah man pretty bad.

Yeah it's pretty bad over there, they are having trouble getting support to them because of what happened to the airport and I heard that the US is sending a hospital ship and an aircraft carrier there.
Aircraft carriers are great for this, My daughter helped out in the philipines with her ship, they can produce a lot of water and power for the country and they have a first rate medical staff and surgery set up.
Not to mention aircraft can land on there with supplies

Yeah spoke to a few family members in Dominican Republic, and they were going on about how "Crazy it felt" while it was going on. Surprisingly though. Dominican Republic didn't suffer as much damage as one would think, as it shares the same island with Haiti. Very sad for what the people are going through down there though.

The army can fly in a tactical control tower by helicopter and have it up and running within a day... and in the meantime they can have tactical controllers on the ground controlling air traffic. They are probably already doing this.

Initial reports are saying 100K dead. Oh man...this is so bad.

US evangelical preacher Pat Robertson levied blame Wednesday for the devastating earthquake in Haiti on Haitians themselves, saying that the country "swore a pact to the devil" at its creation.

"Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it," Robertson said on his Christian Broadcasting Network show "The 700 Club."

Haitians were originally "under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon the third, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil," said the 80-year-old former Republican Party presidential candidate.

"They said, we will serve you if you will get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal," the televangelist said.

"Ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other."
