A friend of mine in Ottawa mentioned to me last weekend that a friend of hers had been missing for two days in Port au Prince after the initial earthquake. On Tuesday of this week I asked her if she heard any more about or from her friend and this is the reply I recieved:
"Lara is fine, the earthquake hit while she was in a taxi on the highway between the airport to her hotel. Timing was on her side because had she arrived 30 minutes earlier and checked in things would have been very different for her...the hotel completely collapsed as did the office building where she was to attend meetings. As it was she spent two nights sleeping outside but finally made it to the Canadian embassy and is supposed to be home shortly."
