Lessons to be learned from Haiti's tsunami

Through all the devastation, another small but deadly event in Haiti almost slipped under the radar.
Researchers have discovered that January's huge quake triggered a tsunami.

He wanted to find out what had happened before the perishable evidence disappeared forever.
