    "It's common in major disasters to see large discrepancies in death tolls: Governments may use lower figures to save face, or higher figures to attract foreign aid. In Haiti's case, however, where the very institutions responsible for compiling information were themselves devastated, reaching a death toll is particularly difficult."

    The most recent estimates I have heard put the number at around 300,000 people.

    It was sad but I also I think it was about 300,000 but it was also sad because about 100,000 died in 60 seconds.
