Even—or perhaps especially—from a vast distance, the scale of destruction and despair in the capital, Port-au-Prince, after the Haiti earthquake is graphically clear (Haiti map).

On the scale of human disasters, this has surpassed the Tsunami, hasn't it?

They had all asked her to travel to Phuket on December 25th in time for the family to celebrate New Year.  But she had already made other plans and decided to stay in Bangkok.  What a lucky decision!
