“I lived through what could easily have been mistaken for the end of the world, the calamitous earthquake that struck outside Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on January 12, 2010. In a matter of 40 seconds, whole neighborhoods and towns were wiped out, including my house with me inside.” When calamities happen, we often expect the worst from people. But we often find the best. From Pacific Standard’s Jonathan M. Katz: How the Apocalypse Will Bring Out the Best in People. (Sounds like great reality, but terrible TV…)
