@ Emily,
"It's just sick that there are criminals that come out at times like this when so many people are in need and prey on them!"
You are so right! It is really nauseating!!
What? You got to be kidding me? Who hired him as a legal adviser?
Luge death of Nodar Kumaritashvili is very sad!!!!
Third world legal nightmares. I can see why Americans would be more hesitant to help.
YES! Emily...
They are!!!!!!! The crew CNN are also heroes in the year!!!! I agree!!!
R.I.P. Nodar Kumaritashvili @>–
So tragic that he lost his life today when practicing for the Olympics.
Gosh, such a tragic situation as Haiti has drawn such a wild assortment of characters to it.

re Haitian culture
the sheer magnitude of the horror of the piles of dumped bodies mixed in with garbage, and those lost under the rubble is just so difficult to wrap one's mind around - and all of the people it affects.
i would like to think of the souls of those hundreds of thousands of people being able to transcend the "physicalness" of the tragedy, and hear the prayers and the songs of the living and find comfort, and to provide comfort in return.
The story of Kimberly is heart breaking....people no longer homes – all gone in the fleeting moment of the earthquake.
For Kimberly and all the thousands of children like her, please do not let Haiti be forgotten...please...
My condolences to the family and friends of the Georgian athlete that died today. Very sad. RIP
Very sad about the fatal luge accident. He was wearing a helmet but that didn't help. Why isn't their padding around those metal bars?
Watching those kids going through this is more than I can take – Look at the sadness on Dr. Gupta's face.
I'm glad that Anderson pointed out that the earthquake in Haiti is reality. Its not a movie, and I think people should be reminded by that. Everything that is going on down there is real and may not have an immediate happy ending to it. This is reality, and I feel extremely sad about the Haitian people who are suffering over loss of love ones or disabilities caused by the quake.
Extremely grateful to Mr. Cooper and colleagues for their commitment to not only Haiti but to viewers as well. As a viewer I depend on their reporting to keep this important human event of our time in our daily conciousness. As reported, the situation in Haiti will demand the world's attention for a long time into the future. Perhaps future reports could offer information about how medical personal can provide hands on care in Haiti during the coming months. It is clear that many caregivers who responded during the first month will need to return to their homes, practices, hospitals etc.. Is there a mechanism being organized for others to replace them?
Thank you again and Godspeed.

Darling girl. I'm glad she's at least recovering and with her father. And I'm glad Sanjay is giving her some help.
Agreed Emily,
She made her face smile!!!! Thanks Dr.Gupta!!!!! 🙂 She is really amazing girl!
ok...i'm in tears over this "Kimberly's Recovery" story....how sad.
It is wonderful to hear the Haitians singing in the background....
Anderson, Dr. Gupta, and Karl have been doing outstanding reporting over the last month!
CNN should be so proud of all of them, and their Crew.
They are All CNN HEROES!
The word that comes to mind is BROKEN – everything is BROKEN, the society, the buildings, the people, their entire world. How disorienting.
Oh that's a sweet story about Kimberly!!!! I am almost to cry!
No WAY they sent him with a perscription – that's absurd.
Hi everyone, TGIF even though I have a headache tonight. There is some improvement but for some reasons I am feeling the same way I felt in the first two weeks of the earthquake. My heart is aching again but the truth has to be known. Thank you Anderson, Dr. Gupta and others... I know it's cliche now but I can't think you enough for the hard work you are doing in Haiti.
Himberly's recovery.... it's amazing!!!!!!!
Hopefully , Haitians who have been studying in US and Canada can one day go back and help.
Hope n faith are really important right now.
Hey Anderson, I have a Question –
With the coming Hurricane Season, what is the Haitian Government planning to do with it's people living in these "Tent Cities"?
I was wondering because no one really seems to be talking about this dilemma. Thankyou, and be safe to you and your CNN team.
The "resilience" is in part Overadaptation to a very abusive brutal environment. If they lived in a healthier place economically, they would be angrier and not as passive and accepting.
Great to see "Kimberly's Recovery" story here by Dr. Gupta!
"So good to see that smile indeed!" 😛
That is so sad to see this children are so suffering much, They are checking them up their healthcare. Anderson have good point! 🙂
Only a percentage of these children will be alive by age 5.
@ LisaL -Canada,
I agree with your comment re."the Haitian culture"
AC & the 360Crew & reporters have had fantastic coverage.
Wow! Anderson, thank you for showing the true spirit of the People of Haiti. It’s true what they say, these people are resilient survivors . It’s a beautiful scene to see these people singing and praising God . These people are great inspiration to the world. They lost everything and yet they are so rich in faith. They make my day.
It's uplifting to see the faith of the Haitian people as they pray and hope for better days ahead... We stand with them in prayer and faith.
There is no good outcome for Haiti, they will be dependent for a decade.
The courageous Haitian people never cease to amaze me and inspire my total admiration. Where else would people organize themselves into such a large group, with no security or police whatsoever, to create such a meaningful. joyful, and healing gathering. Thanks for showing us firsthand once again, AC, the exceptional qualities of the people of Haiti. It breaks my heart to see how much they are still suffering.
feel so sorry for these people are being treated on the floor!
These "crush" injuries are devastating because the muscle and bone damage floods the bloodstream after the rescue and poisons the person.
Good evening Anderson, Isabel, Emily, Starr, everyone. A very moving observance, a service, a prayer service as you just said. How much that must've been needed. So many different emotions that the people there experiencing and overwhelmed with. God please continue watching over everyone in Haiti.
Thank you Anderson, Sanjay, Carl and the rest of the 360 team for going back to Haiti!!! Thank you for showing what wonderful people the Haitians are and remembering us, how much help is still needed!
As a former news journalist I have to say your reporting from Haiti is one of the best I've ever seen and it's the kind of journalism I've always liked, but was told in Europe it's too emotional... Thank you for showing and expressing emotions, thank you for opening the viewers hearts around the world! I believe that's the only way, we all wake up and start to care for each othe again. My heart goes out to the people in Haiti and you guys for the amazing work!
Love, Nadine
Rail Road Cars will be perfect shelter for Haiti .
Sure anxious to hear how this missionary story plays out.
@LisaL-Canada
re Haitian culture – very interesting. Thanks for the comment.
Yes Bloggers,
They are so mourning and hope and faith..... It is so celelbration life together on the street surround by Anderson. 🙂 It is so sad and joy since last month.
There is no denying ... Haiti seems much with Brazil
They are amazingly resilient. What a wonderful display of the good side of religion.
GOD BLESS the Haitians. I love them.
It's amazing how the people in Haiti have pulled together through the ordeal of the earthquake. Their strength is very moving.
Good Friday everyone!
Missionaries...confusing?
It's like watching an episode of "Lost"-- the story goes in circles.
