3. They'll probably carry the archbishop's funeral service
I found big open door funeral mass,for the archbishop of Port-au-Prince (complete with expensive caskets) particularly vulgar given that the majority of Haitians were dumped in mass graves.

What makes them so special?

What's left of it.

5. Hotel cashier just pulled out alive
after eleven days under the rubble - he is moving his hands and feet. Talk about luck...no injuries to his extremities. That may well be the new world record for survival. :applause:

4. So sad. I noticed just about every channel on TV last night had the Haiti
telethon on EXCEPT Fox noise.

9. Yup now the diseases start to spread
I hope the river of aid that has now begun to really flow will be enough.

12. Turns out that the hotel cashier who was pulled out yesterday
worked in the hotel convenience store. He ducked under a desk during the quake and was able to access drinks and snacks for 11 days. Doesn't have any injuries - just a few scratches. What a lucky man.
