Active Planet: Earthquakes rock the world; small tsunami; storms kill dozens
The earthquake in Haiti would have flattened the country if there was much to flatten; as it is the devastation to the poor has been unimaginable - made worse by the spectacularly bizarre decision this week to charge those who sent aid import duties. A larger earthquake in Chile yesterday had much less obvious effect but set off Tsumani alerts around the Pacific Rim; and at 20:14 local time, buildings in Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur began to sway, usually an indication of a large earthquake in Indonesia. Across in Europe, in the past 48 hours, winds of 175kph have driven storms that have killed dozens over a wide area.
