1. Earthquake in Haiti
2.  Zach Lahlou and Jack Geiger
3. January 12, 2010
4. $7.8 billion worth of damage to buildings and resources. 105,000 houses destroyed leaving lots of people homeless in the country. Cranes being destroyed in their main port so that any type of trade through the water was delayed as work was being done to get it back up and running.
5. Two big buildings that were heavily effect from this earthquake in Haiti were the Presidential Palace and the United Nations Peacekeeping Missions building. The Presidential Palace was an important building because it was the home to Haiti's president of the country. The United Nations Peacekeeping Missions building was another important building because without a United Nations building it makes it harder for the country to work with the rest of the countries that are apart of the United Nations.
