Absolutely horrendous.
To: Red in Blue PA
I don’t know that I can buy this.
even WITH a standing infrastructure you can’t bury
40,000 bodies in three days, much less with a disrupted
organisation.
I’ll wait and see.

140,000 is 4.6% of a 3 Million population.
Certainly within the realm of possibility seeing the scenes on TV.

Word in Haiti from our contacts is that armed thugs, including those who escaped when the prison collapsed, have taken over parts of the airport and are preventing aid distribution.

How can we trust these figures? I want to know what other nations are sending aid? There must be some but all the TV talks about is the USA.
To: tet68
You’re not quite right. They buried them in dump truck loads. It is likely the bodies with wash out in a rain. And that vermin will dig them out. Will need reburial.
Just my opinion.

The Foxnews reporters have said numerous times that they are amazed at how well the Haitians are dealing with this. Let’s hope they get the thugs....the people have suffered enough.

I bet a platoon of our boys could take out a thousand of those cowardly thugs.

Haitian’s are hardcore people.
To: Red in Blue PA
That it is..but the really bad thing is that they're stacking corpses up in piles on the roads to create roadblocks because they're frustrated with the slow progress of the aid coming through.
How in the hell is aid supposed to get through if they block the roads....and what a horrible thing to do,desecrating the dead in such a way?
The bodies should be put in pits and burned...the most humane and cleansing way to dispose of a body.
Simply burying them would allow starving animals to dig them up and would also leach disease into the soil and the water supply.
From what I understand,there is some burning taking place but all bodies should be disposed of in the same manner to discourage disease.

So where is the “armed thug management” at?
There’s no way that aid should have been dispatched without an armed escort.

40k “buried”? That is simply not credible.

In the midst of suffering, they sing. Spiritual lyrics heard across city, growing louder w continuing aftershocks as way of coping. #Haiti
Please pray for these suffering souls

Sadly, all some do here is make jokes at this horrendous tragedy.
