Destruction: Security Camera Video of Haiti Earthquake as It Happened at the National Library of Haiti (Jan. 12, 2010)

Here's an example of where pictures speak louder than words.

The other day at the (76th General Conference and Assembly of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) in Sweden, the Director of the National Library of Haiti, Françoise Beaulieu-Thybull and Elizabeth Pierre-Louis, discussed the day of destruction, the donations it has received, and the need for more money.

During the presentation, the librarians ran this video, that shows the earthquake actually taking place using security cameras around the library.

Two words: 1) Devastating and 2) Scary

Eight Shots are Included in the Video:

1) Front Door
2) Stocks 1 (Stacks)
3) Stocks 2 (Stacks)
4) Technical Services
5) Cybercentre
6) Esplanade
7) Backyard
8) Front Gate
