2. Speaking about that now
Many missing - other country reps have given the number of dead already - several dead and several trapped.

5. I hate to say it, but the scale of destruction requires military help. France? US? Cuba? Brazil?

6. Lots of military help is on the way
Edited on Wed Jan-13-10 09:06 AM by malaise
Hillary is sending the Comfort - Obama will speak at 9.30am not 10.00am
The French, British, CARICOM, Venezuela and Cuba are also sending help. People are arriving in Haiti as I type using a variety of methods to get there.

The airport is open.

7. The Comfort is in Baltimore and takes time to fire up. I think an LHA out of Norfolk
might work more quickly.

Thanks for this update!
