Could exceed Katrina and 9-11 victims combined. Wow.

Of the 45,000 residing in Haiti, the majority are within the city limits of Port-Au-Prince (5 miles or less from epicenter).
Kiss me once, shame on you.
Kiss me twice.....let's party.

    At this moment, no US Nationals are being confirmed as deceased.

    ......

    It is way too early to even guesstimate the total number of deaths.

    why are we just concerned with the US citizen toll? im just saying.

    it's the poorest country in the western hemisphere, weak infrastructure, ill prepared for any disaster. I pray for all the missing, wounded and killed.

    My first reaction as well, but I guess the OP was making a point that this disaster is worse than 911 and Katrina combined, so I understand.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
