UPDATE: 9:20 a.m. Friday

They’re packing up and moving out. All across Port-au-Prince, men, women and children a cramming anything they can into colorfully painted buses that will take them to their new homes for the foreseeable future: a tent city out of town. Last night the Haitian government approved plans to move 400,000 people to outside areas where they will receive proper tents and sanitary facilities. By the time they come back, what’s left of their old homes will most likely be bulldozed and swept away.

————————-

UPDATE: At least 3 teams are on the scene. They tell Adam Housley they came here last night and found no one alive. But after the earlier reports of text messages coming from the rubble they came back, and sensors picked up some tapping. However, they found nothing but 4 dead bodies. 6 hours later, sensors are no longer picking up any tapping.

UPDATE: Search and reascue teams are now on the scene with dogs. Possible tapping

We stopped by what’s left of the University Caribe because Adam Housley was told students were trapped in an air pocket and texting their parents to say they are alive. We arrived to find no signs of life, only the certain smell of death mixed in with ripped textbooks and crushed computers and desks. There were no search teams on site. The only other person there was scavenging the site for anything useable.
