  • Mario Vieu is the owner, director and a broadcaster at Signal FM, a small station in Petion- Ville, Port au Prince. As soon as the earthquake struck he made his way to the Radio station; by accident or design, some one had left Hotel California radio station playing on a loop. His staff were afraid to go in but he managed to persuade some journalists to come and chat about what had happened and has been broadcasting ever since. "We had a minimum of 5000 people outside  all the time for four days (not the same people). We just gave them a microphone  and then broadcasted  messages all day. "We were like a phone with two people but broadcasting to the whole city. People would call in , 'My wife and kids are under the debris  - would you send help?'; afterwards they would come back and say, thank you."

  • From a low angle we see, waving a cheery hello to a friend, a rather plump resident of the posh Essex seaside town of Frinton-on-Sea holds on to her oversized sunglasses, her cushion and a portable transistor radio – all of which she has been using whilst on the sea front that we see in the distance behind her round body. Wearing ‘Tory blue’ (the colour favoured by the Margaret Thatcher during the eighties) the lady has her straw hat tied under the folds of fat of an ample chin and appears to be calling an English Coo-ee! call to the out-of-sight acquaintance.
