>>FREDERICK ALEXIS: This is what’s left of it. This part has not collapsed yet.
This is the only part that did not collapse.
…and this is the roof that's on the floor…
that got crashed by the bulldozers trying to get bodies out
But what you see on there, where you see the table is on top, that’s the roof.
And see the roof, see the flies? That’s dead flesh right there on the floor.
There’s some bodies under that.
We were somewhere else when it happened when we were collapsed.
So we came here, we had colleagues inside.
And, Johnny and I, we spent the night digging up on top…
...with a little like with a little hammer…
…and we dug up a hole and we got six people out from under there.
Unfortunately, some of them, one of them died…
…died while he was inside he died, so we went…we took them out.
But there’s another one, she passed away a few days after.
So she passed away.
After a bad intervention at the hospital, she didn’t have any blood.
So she passed away.
>>JOHNNY CESAR ETIENNE: Because it is a radio or kinda TV station…
…we cannot say how people was there, maybe some people was coming to say something
Maybe a friend was there so, we know about the employees…
But we can’t know about people that was there in the moment.
>>ALEXIS: When they were digging with the tractor, it was like…
…digging out from under a cornflakes box
When you finally pierce through the bag, you get a bunch of flakes.
And all those flakes were bodies.
So, like, a bunch of bodies were just falling down from there.
Well, we, we had all our material looted here, it all got stolen.
Even what was destroyed got stolen.
So what we did is we had people (inaudible) equipment at Radio Visa FM
We took them, we made a little something out of scraps and everything…
…in a garage and his place had (inaudible) before and now we’re back on the air.
Mostly, sometimes, although we don’t have a lot of gas to get on the air…
…so the little bit of gas that we have broadcasts about 2, 3 hours a day.
And then we stop and when we have gas again, we go back on the air.
…(inaudible) we need gas.
>>JACOBO QUINTANILLA: We have the capacity but once we get information we can,
…you guys can do the production in-house, no?
(inaudible) you are journalists, you can do production.
And we can use that for our program.
Media is together, Haitian media to produce…
… important information for Haitians to know
That’s what Frederick and Johnny are going to help us with, to do right now.
>>ALEXIS: And that’s what we’re going to do
We’re going to work together and try and get information out there.
So he’s going to be doing the journalistic work
and I’m going to be doing the post-production.
And that’s what we’re up to right now.
