Not something the Haitians will be well placed to deal with.

I've been to Haiti, when I was 17, only for about 2 hours though. I went with Missionary Flights International dropping off supplies. The DC3 we flew in was leaking hydraulic fluid. Also I forgot to take a jumper so I was freezing for most of the flight, even though it was 30° on the ground. The view of the Caribbean islands from the plane was amazing. It's sad that they have been hit by this earthquake.
