What happens when a 7.3 earthquake rocks the poorest country in the world? The result is said by some to be the worst natural disaster the world has ever known. When an Earthquake of that magnitude strikes anywhere in the world it will level just about any building. Let alone a country where very few of the buildings are constructed to handle any type of catastrophe. Another huge factor is the population density. There are at least 2 million people in Port-Au-Prince alone. This was the epicenter of the earthquake.
