Satellite photos showing the Capital of Haiti pre and post earthquake and the emergence of massive "tent-cities"...Quite shocking when seen like this!

Here are three satellite photos of Haiti pre and post-earthquake.  Go to the link below to manipulate the pictures for a different view and for different parts of Port au Prince.  It is quite shocking. The first picture is of a golf course. The second picture shows the emergence of tent-cities on the property.  The third shows, well, signs of permanancy of the tent-cities.

Abandoned building stripped of all that is valuable, except for one thing...can you guess what it is?

This is a photo of an abandoned library in the city of Detroit...MOST buildings like this would be stripped of all its useful/salvageable content and sold for some cash...For some reason, books have no value here. A sign of the times?...(HT: Coyote Blog)
