News from yahoo:
capital after a powerful earthquake flattened the president's palace
and the main prison, the cathedral, hospitals, schools and thousands of
homes. Untold numbers are still trapped.
President Rene Preval
says he believes thousands of people are dead. His prime minister,
Jean-Max Bellerive, tells CNN: "I believe we are well over 100,000,"
though he gives no basis for that estimate and says he hopes it isn't
true.
Preval told the Miami Herald on Wednesday that: "Parliament has collapsed. The tax office has collapsed. Schools have collapsed. Hospitals have collapsed."
The magnitude-7 quake struck Tuesday afternoon.
