this one was followed by two others above 5 though pumphol
Shush pumpy! People are getting excited! How DARE you offer a note of realism!
sounds pretty bad, one of the poorest countries in the world, buildings would not take much to come tumbling down :(
Lets hope as usual Sky news have overplayed the seriousness of this.
catastrophe is pretty vague though, they say that on 5 live when england lose a wicket.
^^^Also anything to do with an English footballer's metatarsal.
This is pretty bad, all the building are shacks and built so poorly. The population of 10 million in this small place crammed together. 1000's will of perished in this.

That is the housing of most the island.

A poorly built shack won't kill you as bad as a poorly built apartment block. Hopefully.
Says presidential palace and apartment blocks have collapsed.
quite true sparky, hence China is probably the worst place to be in the world if an earthquake hits
Presidential palace below, was a nice building too. Shame.

i hate it when people make flippant comments on threads like this.
What about when people make flippant threads about subjects such as these
calm down sparky, its not our fault , its the earths crust
hardly a thread warraning a lol and a he he imo.
you wouldn't be so flippant if you lived there.
my spread looks to have gone for a burton. never get a job with sporting index. that wasnt flippant btw.
True, do any forumites? All sorts of people will die of all sorts of causes over the next 24 hours. A tiny, tiny percentage will have been relatives of forumites. All my sympathy to anyone, if there is anyone here related to the victims of this earthquake, none whatsoever to those revelling in it though.
How is Miami doing?

Well people screaming and injured under rubble happens every day, so I sympathise with you, it must be awful.

Should care more about the 70 year old couple found dead in their flat in Northampton.
MP Sally Keeble said she tried to get social workers to visit them. Shame she never went herself.
Still, they'll have a review now, that will solve it all.
Just like the one after Victorai Climbie solved all the child protection problems, until Baby P got murdered in the same London Borough.

and no idea why people would be excited about a capital city being destroyed and thousands killed
The country next door on this island, Dominican Republic has many Expat Brits and people on the "Run" investing there.
Apartments for £30-40 Grand, a Second passport for Residents, what a Blow!!!

BBC News website readers in the Dominican Republic, which borders Haiti on the island of Hispaniola, said they had also felt the quake.
In the immediate aftermath of the quake, a tsunami watch was put out for Haiti, Cuba and the Bahamas, but this was later lifted.
