Haiti Earthquake

From ABC.net:

Two Americans died when their helicopter, which was participating in aid and recovery operations in earthquake-hit Haiti, crashed in the Dominican Republic, aviation authorities said.

The US-registered helicopter hit a mountain and burst into flames at Restauracion, close to the Haitian border, some 280 kilometres north-east of Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic’s National Institute of Civil Aviation said in a statement.

The institute identified the dead Americans as James Jaloe and John Ward, but gave no more details of their mission or cargo.

It said the helicopter was heading to Santo Domingo from the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince and that it had been helping with aid operations for survivors of the quake.

    ok? so you go to haiti

    Actually Javon707 you have no idea what those people were doing. A great deal of people who claim to be there “helping” are only helping themselves. People will always go into disaster areas exploiting the situation for personal gain, so stop being so quick to defend people you know nothing about!

    I forgot. black people are supposed to pass judgement on everyone. my bad.

    Javon707, Exactly when did I say Black people should pass judgement at any time? All I’m saying is there are just as many people down their exploiting the situation as there are, trying to help. Stop assuming that everyone there is doing noble work. You are defending people who for all you know, could have been gathering up children for the intl. sex trade. Before you dismiss it as paranoia, research it!
