At 21:53 UTC on January 12, 2010 an earthquake with a magnitude 7.0 struck the Caribbean nation of Haiti. The US Geological Survey (USGS) says that it was the most violent earthquake to strike the impoverished country in a century, and death tolls are reported to be rising into the hundreds of thousands. "Porte-au-Prince is probably one of the worst constructed cities in the world, and even the presidential palace collapsed," said Roger Bilham, from the University of Colorado-Boulder. "This is an earthquake many of us were expecting to occur sooner or later."

And one that no amount of foreign aid will prevent happening again.
