Story:
Haiti (1/20/10) Haiti was rattled by another 5.9 magnitude earthquake just after 6 a.m. Wednesday. This big earthquake last week was a 7.0 earthquake. Wednesday morning’s earthquake toppled some already shaky buildings and briefly interrupted rescue efforts.
NY1's five-member crew in Haiti ran out of the building where it was staying. Reporter Dean Meminger said he chose to sleep with his pants and shoes on after experiencing a similar rattling late Tuesday night.
The quake was centered about 35 miles southwest from the capital of Port-au-Prince.
It was the latest in a string of nearly 50 aftershock earthquake in the region since last week’s quake.
It is estimated that 200,000 are dead and two-million residents are homeless.
One wake after the first destructive earthquake, survivors are still being pulled from the rubble.
Questions:
1) Where did this earthquake take place?
2) When did this earthquake take place?
3) What was this earthquakes magnitude?
4) How far from the capital was it?
5) How many aftershocks have there been?
6) How many people are dead?
7) How many people are homeless?
