Fox News' Bill Hemmer, who is currently on assignment in Haiti, has been interviewed by the Cincinnati Inquirer's John Kiesewetter on the situation following the devestating earthquake in the country.
Kieswetter Writes;
“Haiti trumps them all. The numbers of people are extraordinary. People are sleeping on concrete, in the streets, or out in the parks. They’ve either lost their homes or apartments, or they’re afraid to go into their homes again for fear they’ll collapse,” says Hemmer, who has been reporting from Haiti since Wednesday dawn.
We spoke minutes after he watched rescuers spend 15 hours extricating a 60-year-old American man who had been trapped 3-1/2 days under the rubble from a 5-story hotel. They had to amputate his left leg, and right foot. He was one of 8 rescued from that site on a hillside on the edge of town.
“He’s alive. And now he’s got a second chance,” said Hemmer, who’s had about 5-6 hours of sleep while down there.
