If you recall, Haiti was hit by a wildly devastating 7.0+ earthquake on Tuesday, resulting in an estimated 50,000 deaths.
Also, we should point out that JetBlue is not flying doctors and nurses to Haiti for free. That was a hoax. Many of you have been posting said hoax on your Facebook and Twitter pages. You can stop now.
