Crowd gathering outside US Embassy. Crowds at the port, embassy, UN and airport are getting bigger and more rowdy each day as people become more desperate about the basic necessities. We are working tomorrow assisting getting 70 trucks of supplies moved into the city.

A short update from photographer Brad:

07:00 am:

Early wake up call at PAP airport by a 6.1 quake 35 miles away. Dead sleep to dead run in less than a second! What better way to get adrenaline flowing in a.m. than a 6.1.

12:00 pm (noon):

Adrenaline junkies, survivalists, mercenaries, basic do-gooders, journalists, medics all here with common purpose...to help...pretty awesome ...
