Earthquake hits Haiti

Haitians took recovery efforts into their own hands Thursday as aid workers trickled into the quake-battered capital. One group of Haitians worked for 24 hours to free a man pinned under a collapsed school. An 11-year-old girl pleaded for water and screamed in pain as a group of Haitians tried to lift a piece of metal off her right leg. They chose to try to free her themselves rather than wait for help from professional rescue workers. Those scenes of Haitians banding together to free their neighbors played out across the capital. Roads leading from the port city's dock into town were crumpled about 5 feet high.
