What is the lat years event that affected the world in 2009? -- I think the most important news story was the H1N1 virus because it a was a deadly flu.Over 14000 people die from this deadly flu. The vaccinations have been sent out world wide and the pandemic continued but it was slightly lessened. The pandemic struck fear in the family's that already have ad death within the family. Many people were rushed to get their shots because they didn't want the flu. So that created long line at the flu clinics that took over 4 hours.

4 Canadians confirmed dead 1415 Canadians missing 20-hour period, government crews had removed 7,000 corpses from the streets and morgues and buried them in mass graves. 7.0 magnitude quake that hit the country this week. Many won't return to their homes, fearing that continuing aftershocks will knock down already weakened structures. Thousands of homes, including the National Palace, have been destroyed or damaged and at least 300,000 people are estimated to be homeless. The runways at the airport are clear but because of a lack of space and fuel, aid planes are being forced to wait for hours to land. The Haitian government said there was no room on ramps for planes to unload their cargo and that some planes on the ground didn't have enough fuel to leave. Tuesday's earthquake has left as many as 50,000-100,000 people dead.

On Tuesday January, 12th Haiti, a country that lays beside the Dominican Republic, was hit by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake that devastated everyone there. In only a 20-hour period crews had removed 7,000 corpses from the streets, but 50,000-100,000 people are thought to be dead and 1415 Canadians have been lost in this catastrophe. Those who are still alive are dealing with being homeless and some won’t go back to there homes because they are scared about aftershocks, though they are still living they have lost family and have to see everything destroyed around them. With at least 300,000 people homeless and hurt other countries want to help Haiti, but when the cargo planes get to the airport they have to wait in the air for hours because some planes on the ground don’t have enough fuel to leave the ground. This terrible earthquake didn’t just make an affect to people in Haiti, but to people all around the world, with 4 Canadians confirmed dead families are facing the consequence of this convulsion of the earth.
