While the loss of life and of family homes is truly tragic, I feel this particular video failed utterly to paint a picture of widespread devastation. Literally EVERY SINGLE BUILDING in the video EXCEPT the one being focused on IS UNHARMED. While certainly showing how badly certain structures fared, the video actually gave me hope that improvements in building codes after the 2010 quake prevented this one from having the same level of impact.
What builidings and houses was built in 2010 earthquakes, it was only 30k-40k homes was built,you do remember the clintons foundation stole hundreds of millions from hati,remember???
Of it doesn’t show other structures that sustain damage or was destroyed from the earthquake. The video mainly focuses on the hotel that was completely destroyed.
Hope… doesn’t reinforce concrete.
Prayers don’t change the fact that Haiti has been poor for multiple generations.
They’re absolutely building houses out sand. They worship voodoo death .
@Skeletor CareBear Not all. We have the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints there.
Doesn’t matter what parter of Haiti you drone. It’s all a pisshole.
Prayers to the people of Haiti 🙏
This is JUDGMENT haiti is full of sin WAGES OF SIN IS DEATHHHH
They had a horrible of an earthquake 11 years ago ‼️‼️ and now another one …. PLUS THEIR PRESIDENT GOT KILLED … Sheesh they don’t get a break … Prayers 🙏
If an all knowing and all powerful god exists, and he sees the suffering in Haiti, and does nothing to save them, he is not very good.
@butthole4exitonly mohamond To put things in perspective, the Clinton foundation got an A rating and the Trump foundation got an F rating.
@Teresa Amanfu and u believe that!
Its very unfortunate aftershocks from earthquakes can last years I just pray that they can build themselves up again.
@Noobzone Gamer Do you mean How Many African leaders in past yr!!!
Been praying. My heart truly hurts
That’s an incredibly selective earthquake. Who’s mansion was it?
it’s the catholic church Evecher which housing the priests, the Cardinal and offices.
We must wake n shake as I have believed for some time now the whites America, UN and isreal will try to put blacks back into slavery. Now I know it’s true. This is no joke. We must….. De past of how to.. …vouduo of our Ancestors n …… D enemy before it’s too late. They rather destroy the world before allowing us to return to the glory of our Great spiritually strong ancestors so we may flourish as they did n never again live or mingle w them. We were warned then and now we must…..🤨 Earth quake Aug 14,2021 229 yrs to the day of the Birth of Haiti Vuoduo Priestess along w others who used ancient religion they practiced to help them win the revelation n free them selves from French rule… WOW I’m blowing my own mind right now.
@B amazed with this Calling all Mambo Jambo moon jelly we will stop this madness and no more earthquakes here again unless it’s OGUN MACANDAL Rising from our sacred sacrificial fire🔥💃🏾🌄. Much Love Peace and Healing for Haiti Worldwide Winds of Change blowing for you🌎🌟😻⚡
They were coming in from different places to celebrate some Idol Saint. The churches and the Hotel were hit.
My first thought as well, building’s 50’feet away “No” damage. Kind of similar to the building collapse in Florida. Hmmm, seems fishy!
Where’s Wyclef when you need him?!
Not giving his talent to a bunch of thief’s. They should have let him run for office.
And what is is wyclef suppose to do again? Kiss the ground and make everything turn into the garden of Eden?
@TSTE Well I want to know the same thing❗ Some ppl jus don’t think before speaking…m
I was being sarcastic😂🤣
A Thousand had died but we can save millions. It starts now
Haitians have had so much suffering at the hands of Nature. Heart-Felt Sympathy to you all and prayers for a better tomorrow.
Prayers sent stay strong an safe ! I hold all in my prayers !
I can’t even believe this has happened!!
Me too lisa, it’s really heartbreaking 💔
Been praying.. my heart truly hurts 💔
So tragic 💔
God bless Haiti.
I have more rebar in my house than that big building.
Where is all the rebar in this building? I don’t see any reinforcement at all. It doesn’t look like this building is very well built. It’s too bad.
Haiti will rise again!
Imagine the drone e found a person faster then the people there
Isaiah 55:6-9 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts: and Let him turn unto the LORD, and he will have mercy on him. This message is for the person that is reading this..Your time is now
When Port au Prince was destroyed the US contributed 2 billion dollars for rebuilding. That place still looks the same. I wonder how much will be stolen this time.
Sadly, it’ll happen again… whether it’s in another 10 years or 50.
