Description:
What is it like to witness an earthquake? How is its reporting and history
formed from different people's perspectives of the event? This book uses firsthand
accounts from eyewitnesses, survivors, the emergency services, scientists, and
the media to describe what happened before, during, and after the Haiti
earthquake of 2010. We also look at the science: the facts, the timeline, and
the physical causes and effects of the earthquake. Why was the disaster in Haiti
unique? How did it compare to other earthquakes? And how long will the cleanup
take?
