Some of the victims of the Haiti earthquake were frozen in time when the earthquake struck, much like when Italy’s Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, entombing the the people of Pompeii in ash.

Rescue workers from DRC Emergency services, an American company, have been hired to find victims at the 3 Unibank branches in Port-au-Prince. They tell us they found the body of a victim still sitting at a desk. That’s how fast these poorly constructed buildings crumbled.
