Earthquake in Haiti

Haiti has been hit by a major earthquake.  Thousands appear to have died and many thousands of buildings damaged throughout the country, including even the apparent collapse of well-constructed buildings such as the Presidential Palace.  The U.N. Headquarters in Port-au-Prince is also among the buildings destroyed -- click here to see video of rescue efforts to remove survivors from that building.
