No, all looks pretty normal to me for an earthquake. "blast damage" really? Having been to poor carribean countries etc. I can tell you the concrete they use totally sucks. Crumbles if you smack it. Rebar? If it wasn't a multistory building, there probably wouldn't even be ANY rebar. What is there is probably too thin and not enough, so yes it bends lie a noodle in an earthquake. And earthquakes can do this to better built buildings too.

Earthquakes are even stronger than conspiracies! The Clintons and their underlings are caught here stealing children with the earthquake as cover, but I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that the some fantasy ninja demo team was behind the building collapse, any more than I would buy the idea that the earthquake was caused by a government earthquake machine.

I live in the carribean and your post is false. Their building techniques all use rebar, houses have rebar sticking out of the top so they can easily build upward. The concrete they use is the same as anywhere. You are talking completely out of your ass, or you're lying. You sound like a ctr shill

how do you know did a cloud of pot smoke blow in your window and reveal it to you in a vision, "herbsmoke?" I'm no shill. I've been there and seen it, and even had to work on it. Once you get away from your purple haze infused condo or daddy's villla, herbsmoke, you will see that off the resorts, up the dirt roads, and in the slummy parts of cities in the carribean, the concrete fucking sucks.

I worked down there with a US based concrete pro, who told me how much it sucks in many different particular ways. In general they don't use enough cement, and "whatever" available for aggregate and sand. So often your concrete is a watery cement milkshake with mud and coarse sand in it. With luck and some limestone/reef sand, it will eventually harden. But it's not always a good mix at all, and often slumps like a mcdonalds milkshake in a hot parking lot. If you even know what that means. Quite often they use hand mixed stuff when they shouldn't, etc.

The rebar sticking out the roof is easy, cheap and lazy, but it makes the buildings fall apart faster, and only works (for a few decades) because they get no frost. And yes it often really is too thin, or not enough of it.

I could go on, but it's boring. Hopefully you now understand I know what I am talking about a little more than you "thought." BTW, when I don't know what I am talking about, I don't post.

Now for that orphanage, no doubt they did use "real" concrete. But how much confidence would you really give it?

What do you think your typical Haitian strategy for making a big pour without it going off too fast is? Do you seriously think that orpahanage was built as well as a New York skyscraper? A Caymanian condo? A St. Barth's villa?

What are you smoking again?

Your insults only point out your ignorance, and your shame for having it called out. Smoking weed has nothing to do with realizing you were talking out your ass. Like I said I live in the Carribean (not Haiti) but claiming their cement is anything other than normal cement is complete BS. You already backtracked on your rebar claim, you just sound retarded. I can be bombed like Bob Marley and still realize your full of shit, lol. No shit it wasn't built like a New York skyscraper, or villa, lol. I feel sorry for your mother.

Your 'contributions' to this subverse are significant !! Looks like ALL the surrounding buildings are built like a NY skyscraper lol I cannot believe you actually wasted so much time with such a flimsy response.
