People Flee Into Streets as Strong Quake Strikes Devastated Haiti

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The most powerful aftershock yet struck Haiti on Wednesday, shaking more rubble from damaged buildings and sending screaming people running into the streets eight days after the country's capital was devastated by an apocalyptic quake.

The extent of additional damage or injuries caused by the magnitude-5.9 temblor was not immediately clear, AND Prime Minister Jean-Max said the government was sending a plane and an overland team to check on the situation in Petit-Goave, the center of this morning's aftershock.

"We know they are going to need some help," he said.

At least one woman died of a heart attack, according to Eddy Thomas, a private undertaker.

"She had a heart condition, and the new quake finished her," he said while pushing her body along the street on a mobile stretcher.

Wails of terror rose from frightened survivors as the earth shuddered at 6:03 a.m. U.S. soldiers and tent city refugees alike raced for open ground, and clouds of dust rose in the capital.

The U.S. Geological Survey said Wednesday's quake was centered about 35 miles west-southwest of Port-au-Prince and 6.2 miles below the surface — a little further from the capital than last week's epicenter was.

"It kind of felt like standing on a board on top of a ball," said U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Steven Payne. The 27-year-old from Jolo, West Virginia was preparing to hand out food to refugees in a tent camp of 25,000 quake victims when the aftershock hit.

Last week's magnitude-7 quake killed an estimated 200,000 people in Haiti, left 250,000 injured and made 1.5 million homeless, according to the European Union.

The strong aftershock prompted Anold Fleurigene, 28, to grab his wife and three children and head to the city bus station. His house was destroyed in the first quake and his sister and brother killed.

"I've seen the situation here, and I want to get out," he said.

The magnitude-5.9 temblor was the largest of more than 40 significant aftershocks that have followed the Jan. 12 quake.

USGS geophysicist Bruce Pressgrave said nobody knows if a still-stronger aftershock is possible.

"Aftershocks sometimes die out very quickly," he said. "In other cases they can go on for weeks, or if we're really unlucky it could go on for months" as the earth adjusts to the new stresses caused by the initial quake.

A massive international aid effort has been struggling with logistical problems, and many Haitians are still desperate for food and water.

But more aid was arriving on Wednesday, notably the U.S. Navy's floating hospital, USNS Comfort, which was already treating two severely injured quake victims when it dropped anchor in view of Port-au-Prince. She ship carries about 550 medical staff and about 60 civilian mariners.

Search-and-rescue teams have emerged from the city's ruins with some improbable success stories — including the rescue of 69-year-old ardent Roman Catholic who said she prayed constantly during her week under the rubble.

Ena Zizi had been at a church meeting at the residence of Haiti's Roman Catholic archbishop when the Jan. 12 quake struck, trapping her in debris. On Tuesday, she was rescued by a Mexican disaster team.

Zizi said after the quake, she spoke back and forth with a vicar who also was trapped. But he fell silent after a few days, and she spent the rest of the time praying and waiting.

"I talked only to my boss, God," she said. "I didn't need any more humans."

Doctors who examined Zizi on Tuesday said she was dehydrated and had a dislocated hip and a broken leg.

Elsewhere in the capital, two women were pulled from a destroyed university building. And near midnight Tuesday, a smiling and singing 26-year-old Lozama Hotteline was carried to safety from a collapsed store in the Petionville neighborhood by the French aid group Rescuers Without Borders.

Crews at the cathedral recovered the body of the archbishop, Monsignor Joseph Serge Miot, who was killed in the Jan. 12 quake.

Authorities say more than 100 people have been pulled from wrecked buildings by international search-and-rescue teams and dozens of teams were still hunting through Port-au-Prince's crumbled homes and buildings for signs of life on Wednesday.

But the good news was overshadowed by the frustrating fact that the world still can't get enough food and water to the hungry and thirsty.

"We need so much. Food, clothes, we need everything. I don't know whose responsibility it is, but they need to give us something soon," said Sophia Eltime, a 29-year-old mother of two who has been living under a bedsheet with seven members of her extended family.

The World Food Program said more than 250,000 ready-to-eat food rations had been distributed in Haiti by Tuesday, reaching only a fraction of the 3 million people thought to be in desperate need.

The WFP said it needs to deliver 100 million ready-to-eat rations in the next 30 days, but it only had 16 million meals in the pipeline.

Even as U.S. troops landed in Seahawk helicopters Tuesday on the manicured lawn of the ruined National Palace, the colossal efforts to help Haiti were proving inadequate because of the scale of the disaster. Expectations exceeded what money, will and military might have been able to achieve.

Governments have pledged nearly $1 billion in aid, and thousands of tons of food and medical supplies have been shipped. But much remains trapped in warehouses, or diverted to the neighboring Dominican Republic. Port-au-Prince's nonfunctioning seaport and many impassable roads complicate efforts to get aid to the people.

Aid is still being turned back from the single-runway airport, where the U.S. military has been criticized by some of poorly prioritizing flights. The U.S. Air Force said it had raised the facility's daily capacity from 30 flights before the quake to 180.

About 2,200 U.S. Marines have established a beachhead west of Port-au-Prince, joining 9,000 Army soldiers already on the ground. Lt. Cmdr. Walter Matthews, a U.S. military spokesman, said helicopters were ferrying aid from the airport into Port-au-Prince and the nearby town of Jacmel as fast as they could.

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the military will send a port-clearing ship with cranes aboard to Port-au-Prince to remove debris that is preventing many larger aid ships from docking.

The U.N. was sending in reinforcements as well: The Security Council voted Tuesday to add 2,000 peacekeepers to the 7,000 already in Haiti, and 1,500 more police to the 2,100-strong international force.

"The floodgates for aid are starting to open," Matthews said at the airport. "In the first few days, you're limited by manpower, but we're starting to bring people in."

Hanging over the entire effort was an overwhelming fear among relief officials that Haitians' desperation would boil over into violence.

"We've very concerned about the level of security we need around our people when we're doing distributions," said Graham Tardif, who heads disaster-relief efforts for the charity World Vision. The U.N., the U.S. government and other organizations have echoed such fears.

AND NOW WE GET AN ARTICLE TODAY THAT STATES FOR THE THIRD TIME IN MASSIVE PRECEDENCE THERE WERE MILITARY OPERATIONS THAT INVOLVED HAITI THE DAY BEFORE:

http://www.disclose.tv/frameset.php?url ... 3Dtopstory

On Monday, Jean Demay, DISA's technical manager for the agency's Transnational Information Sharing Cooperation project, happened to be at the headquarters of the U.S. Southern Command in Miami preparing for a test of the system in a scenario that involved providing relief to Haiti in the wake of a hurricane. After the earthquake hit on Tuesday, Demay said SOUTHCOM decided to go live with the system. On Wednesday, DISA opened up its All Partners Access Network, supported by the Transnational Information Sharing Cooperation project, to any organization supporting Haiti relief efforts.

Thanks slush for the video and DTV for this information.

Christ, how much can these poor people bear? It was more inland than the last so no threat of a tsunami. But man! Horrible

[jetxvii]

yeah what is horrible is if we have evidence to support a military operation such as HAARP, and we have natural occurring earthquakes, who is to blame?

Granted rescue is the main support we can give now, the need for support if this wasn't natural is in question..

Problem, reaction, solution (the only thing I heard from icke that I like)

I'm not in the HAARP department for this one, I don't know why in the hell we would want to invade Haiti, but I am not the ones making the plans for global domination either.

maybe not an invasion....but more of an experimentation.....very poor country...many desperate....rat in a maze observation.....

Or maybe, just maybe it a was a super mega nasty natural disaster that effected a million people like natural disasters have done since people started roaming the planet...with no haarp intervention, no depopulation 'plans', just extremely tragicloss of life. To me, all this haarp nonsense cheapens the deaths, and really gets away from the question of what next... and how to proceed... Make t

IN a weird backward sense, making "them" responsible for everything is EXACTLY what everyone accuses the US of doing with AlQueda...manufacturing this shadow boogeyman that was hard to place (perhaps even nonexistent), and impossible to find and pin down, or identify or verify...so that it could never be refuted.

Its sorta messed up actually.
Its a form of Intellectual Primativism...
(which in itself is not a bad thing, becuase 'the street' is always the place from which the next mythology springs forth...change and fear drives it.)

There doesnt have to be a covert military application hiding behind absolutely everything..that is a particular choice in how to view the world, and truthfully, its not healthy. Not that speculation in itself is unhealthy, but this tendency to IMPLY upon all things domestic and foreign some responsibility to the big bad "Them" is just not realistic.

You got that tin foil duck-taped hard to your cranium! You of all people! I don't know what to say.

Let bring ya back to earth for one second -



Bush hates Haitians!!!!!

maybe not realistic to you...you don't live the same reality ..your saturation is of a different conditioning suffered.....but one that keeps you from that neglected word.....but news flash.....other people exist to.
This is not an attack at the U.S.....but you can't deny that there are factions within your country that work outside of your labeled margins...that's the 'Them' i'm intrested in...and their not only in the U.S,..something is occuring and it's worth keeping our wits about us instead of saying "oh...it is what it is".....

no body really cares until it happens to them.

I can understand that Lainn - but the only reason to blame HAARP for this is to justify pointing a finger at somebody.

It's all bullshit. It was a freaking natural earthquake - and there is no political or evil ideology to blame for this.

You are right to keep in mind that there are planners doing all kinds of nasty things to us. But I think there needs to be a healthy balance. Before the last few decades, it was pretty evident what was man-made and what was Mother Nature. However, things have blurred now... but just because man can do "natural" things doesn't mean he is doing ALL of it. We need to remember that sometimes, Shit Happens.

Would you stop trying to be the voice of reason!!!! There's no place for that here!
