SCIENTIFIC WARNINGS IN THE NEWS AND IMAGES FROM
HAITI HAS CONTINUED TO ANNOY MANY PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD.


The Earthquake that shook the capital city of Haiti, Port-au-prince and the extend of its devastation shocked the world, eventhough the magnitude of the Earthquake on the richter-scale had been measured at 7.0 has entered in to history books as the worse Earthquake in the year 2010 that claimed many lives and caused huge devastation on almost everything in Haiti.
Much of the News about the devastation in the images of the victims being wired,or placed on the internet has continued to annoy many people through-out the world.
The number of people killed in the Earthquake has reached over two hundred thousand (200,000) victims and climbing. There has been much to learn from the unheeded messages of scientific warnings that may have been ignored, or politicized.
