All should be thinking of the people in Haiti that have NOTHING, hardly even hope, and sending a minimum $25 donation to the charity of your choice to help them survive. This is a good, safe one: http://www.redcross.org/. This site has some great folks on it and we all need to step up to help in view of this tragedy so close to us and show that we do care. |

I don't think too much of the red cross since Katrina. They wouldn't accept two tractor trailer loads of water from Walmart (and ice from somebody else) right after the storm. They only want cash donations so they can get the % cut off the top. As bad as it was after Katrina, those people needed water then, not after a donation and then they go and buy it.

Well Tim,
Find a charity you can beleive in. The Red Cross helped me twice while I was in the service. The U.S.Marines are packing up now. Heavy equipment,water purification distillers,medical supplies. We have C-17 heavy lift aircraft here on the ground loading now. |

You know, I am impressed with the responses on this site so far. I also have a Donzi Classic 22 and am on the Donzi Registry site asking for folks to be generous with those that have less. Turned into a total political posting with lots of "haters" that don't like the current administration, which, whatever side you are on, has nothing to do with this tragedy! Thanks for taking the upper road guys.

Yesterday at work the stuff hit the fan.One of the aircraft we rework is th CH-53d helo. It's the largest in the US invintory. Anyway we have one that's in flight test, when it clears it's on the way to Haiti. Now there's a huge push to get it complete this weekend.
Between 6-7 am I got 3 phone calls about it and 9 all day. This baby WILL be on it's way before the paint's dry! |

Yes, it is a shame, but given the scope of the disaster and the inability of the world to deal with it, despite unprecedented effort, you are going to see worse than this before it is over. Terrible, terrible tragedy in a country that was already a tragedy.
