00:00With eyewitness accounts and fascinating expert insights,
00:06we investigate a catastrophic magnitude 7 earthquake
00:10that struck Haiti on the 12th of January 2010.
00:16In the town of Leogane, right above where the earthquake occurred,
00:2090% of the buildings had simply ceased to exist.
00:26While in the small coastal fishing port of Petit Paradis,
00:29on the west coast of Haiti, a tsunami wave swept inland,
00:33dragging several people to their deaths.
00:43Haiti was still trying to recover
00:45from the effect of the hurricanes two years earlier.
00:48In the face of this latest catastrophe,
00:51the country was unable to cope.
00:54Vital services needed to relieve the stricken country
00:58were either damaged or destroyed.
01:00What is the definition of a disaster for professionals like myself?
01:04It is an event that is of such magnitude
01:07that the local or the national government cannot face it alone.
01:12Efforts to get food, medical aid and water to the survivors
01:16were hindered by the breakdown in communication systems.
