Comment on Sergey Brin's relief mission to Haitiparent

Comments

1. The Katrina death toll was about 1800. So it in no way compares to the destruction in Haiti.

2. There are significant differences in the two disasters. Haiti has been destroyed while in the US only a major city was destroyed, those in the city can easily move to other cities it's much harder to leave Haiti.

3. The US military is has significant limitations on actions it can take in US and rightly so.

4. The majority of the problems with regards to Louisiana were due to complete incompetency of the state government not following it's own plans and a lot of the controversies were generated by the media merely repeating rumors.
