There are many unanswered questions about the Haiti earthquake. So many, that researchers are assuming a previously unknown fault, may be to blame.

Haiti suffered a large devastating earthquake on January 12, 2010. The 7.0 magnitude quake and its aftershocks destroyed lives, homes and infrastructure of an already struggling country. Scientists have been studying this quake with hopes of uncovering some information about future earthquake risks in Haiti.

It is events such as those in Haiti recently which make you forget about your worries and think about others, basic human nature dictates that most in this world show a deep compassion for others in times of great need. A few of the usual idiots on the Hubpages forum aside, everybody who I know has been deeply saddened by the tragic events in Haiti and are grateful that world governments as well as businesses and individuals are looking to provide urgent aid to those left devastated by the consequences of this latest natural disaster.

Whenever disaster or tragedy happens, there are always people who are reaching out and lending help by means of donations. Unfortunately, for every legitimate and genuine intention to help others, it also creates an opportunity for selfish people and scammers out there to make money. After Hurricane Katrina, thousands of websites came out soliciting money on behalf of the victims. After the World Trade Center terrorists attack, thousands of scam websites tried to make money from the tragic incidents.
