[@realsmollbean]

@Mike Dessal That might be true, but obviously the Haiti earthquake definitely did happen, scientists have records. And in a earthquake test program, it shows that houses would collapse on many hillsides, and people lived in very dense areas. According to the records, the population decreased by about 500,000 citizens from the years 2009 and 2010. That at would put the growth rate at about -18.99%.

This video gives a really good explanation to me and all the other's, who were very young back then. My father went to Port-au-Prince and then worked their for 8 weeks in a field hospital, if I remember correctly. I still remember the day he came back to Germany and I saw him again. It was his last international visit in an other country to help after a catastrophe. He had a lot of great stories to tell after he came back!

Another thing I remember is my french teacher. He lost many family members and didn't went to school for days.

I think one of the reasons why buildings were built of mostly concrete is due to it being able to cheaply resist hurricane force winds. Because don't forget that island gets hit by major hurricanes almost every year.

[@TTime1312]

Started living on an island in the Bahamas six months ago it was very surprising initially to see that they were entirely constructed of concrete.

[@usaa300]

It's also expensive to important the materials they'd need to build earthquake proof

[@kindlin]

Concrete can be just as, or even more earthquake resistant than steel or wood structures, all you need is rebar. Add a couple THICC walls with massive matts of rebar, a strong slab and columns, both heavily reinforced, and that shit isn't falling down very easily. Even poorly placed rebar would be sufficient to prevent collapse of most structures.

[@natenae8635]

@@TTime1312 Yeah we use concrete because it’s the easiest and strongest materials we have against hurricane. Regulations require steel rods to be inserted in between the concrete blocks for extra strength.

I am Dominican and I was 13 years old when the earthquake. I had teachers and many Haitian schoolmates, who lost their relatives, it was horrible. By the time international aid arrived (which came through the DR because there was no way to effectively deliver aid to Haiti), we Dominicans were already giving aid from day one. I remember that my father, along with some coworkers, made weekly trips for more than 3 months to Haiti, bringing help that we gathered in the community every day. My dad told me that still months after the earthquake, bodies had been piled up decomposing in any corner. They even had to stop making aid trips because there were gangs that started attacking the trucks, and well, they were just unarmed civilians. It was a very sad situation. Although there were many people talking stupid things about why more disasters happened over there than on the other side of the island, the truth of Haiti's misfortune is that it has paid dearly to be the first black country to abolish slavery and become independent, and those guilty of that also want another third world country to bear the disaster that they caused and continue to cause.

My Professor once said, "Earthquake doesn't kill people. But building does." As an engineer, I always keep that in my mind.

It’s crazy how people in Chile are so unbothered by earthquakes.

[@Anonymous_Identity246]

Like Californians like me they are used to them, and Chile has god building so they are not to worried so they is why

[@paularancibia9801]

Also poor infrastructure in Haiti in Chile they build thinking about earthquake, a lot of buildings regulations, greetings from Chile

[@dioisabot4276]

So there's a few reasons for this. 1. The governments had more important things to worry about, with 3 violent coups in 50 years. 2. They couldn't afford to build it

@@fosahistorica2537 Not necessarily, a dictatorship led Haiti to this sinking path it’s on now. Go look at Haiti before the Duvalier regime and see the difference.

[@Mahbu]

People love saying "oh but it was so long ago" when talking about the ghost of slavery or injustice of the past that still haunt us today. You just need to point to stuff like this. Haiti was essentially plundered and ostracized for a long time. You don't just recover from that over night.

[@haltdieklappe7972]

I’m fine with discussing slavery. The problem is when you blame people because of their ancestry, that’s when it’s no longer about discussion and more about attacking

[@Mahbu]

​@@haltdieklappe7972 Which is a fair point of discussion, but I believe people conflate acknowledging that our ancestors benefitted from slavery with being blamed. Most dialogue, at least from my viewpoint, seems very much in good faith. Yes, of course there will be someone who blames the people today for the crimes of their ancestors. There'll always be some kind of exception to this or that. But the main talking point, again from my perspective, has always been that we may not be guilty for what they did in the past but we do benefit in some cases from their crimes/sins.

[@andreasnordon4484]

@@Mahbu Your talking points are wrong and based on severe misconceptions about history and economics. No one but a few benefit from a slave economy and certainly not society as a whole. The subject is far too complex to address in a comment but since you seem sincere (though misguided) I suggest that you search Thomas Sowell on youtube and learn from a real academic rather than such ridiculous nonsense like what reallifelore presented in this travesty of a video. Pure cringe.

[@Mahbu]

​@@andreasnordon4484 Uh, in what way am I mistaken? You're being vague and plugging someone else. How about you make a case other than saying "ur wrong, lulz". The United States benefitted greatly from forced labor and chattel slavery. Its impacts are still felt to this day.

[@andreasnordon4484]

@@Mahbu You're mistaken in that everything you've said is wrong. Did I not make that clear? If you are actually sincere about the subject and wish to know more then I gave you a source to learn real history rather than political propaganda. I'm not going to produce an hour long documentary or write a book and publish it here just for your benefit. I'm retired from academia. Don't give me attitude with 'lulz' nonsense, kid. I've been decent with you and refrained from insults. The south was and remained poor while the north developed. The reason is slavery. There was no benefit to it besides a life of luxury for a select few. The 'slavery built america!' nonsense is nothing but nonsense. Slavery kills the economy. If I'm mistaken and you don't have the brains to learn at a higher level then go on your merry way and enjoy some ice cream or something. Otherwise go learn and get back to me when you're done and we can argue any point you want to then.
