121 people have been pulled out from the rubble SO FAR

[nadinbrzezinski]

according to the UN

At the max point of rescue there were 52 teams that were made up by 1,820 personnel and 175 dogs.

And no, we were by far NOT the majority of that personnel either... this is a world wide effort.

Good job for the Rescue teams... whether from Fairfax, Poland, Peru or Mexico... GOOD JOB guys and gals...

2. That's astounding...

Rescue operations are hugely time and labour intensive. I said this in another post, but I'll repeat it here. I think back to when Baby Jessica fell down a well, back in 1987 (?). It took dozens of rescue workers using heavy equipment almost 60 hours to save 1 little girl. To get 121 out of the rubble is fantastic.

Kudos to the SAR teams.

3. thank you for continuing to post on Haiti. This is why I came to DU today, to

see what news there was from there

4. On the worrisome tone, the second wave might be here

the Panaramerican Health Organization is now monitoring for possible Malaria Epidemic disease.

I am sure Cholera and a few others are not that far behind.

Second wave and all that.

5. I am not seeing much about the 6.0 aftershock this morning - what

kind of further damage did it do?

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. None according to BBC

and the Mexican Press. I am sure CNN was waiting on baited breath for more.

Yes call me a cynic.

11. You are not a cynic. The US MSM feeds on any disaster they can

find and make up one if they cannot find a real one. What a mess our nation is in. Thanks for the info.

6. I like hearing some of the good news from Haiti

[Lilyeye]

7. This is good news.

9. What's amazing is listening to the members of the US military

and rescue teams correcting the media hacks who are pushing this USA USA BS and reminding them that there are teams from all over the world. I find that refreshing.

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. We have plenty of media hacks, don't we?

10. You mean living people, as opposed to dead people, I presume

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Yes, survivors
