Re: Haiti earthquake
Yeh, and whats worse is that the Spanish Flu Pandemic which killed more people than all deaths in WW2 was made worse by the fact their was a war.
It was said that conditions of war favoured an outbreak. In normal life, when you have a real bad virus you stay at home, which doesn't favour that virus spreading. In war, the mildly ill had to fight on, whilst the real ill people were shipped away from the frontline and taken into care. This involved the very ill soldiers getting on trains, going to public areas, etc, in the process allowing the worse strains to spread further.
So I guess that's humans contribution to the worst ever recorded natural disaster.
