LAX - FLL - PAP 

Descending into Port-au-Prince you fly directly over Cite Soleil, the corrugated shanty town which appears to be one of the only areas still standing after the January 12, 7.0 earthquake.  From the right side of the plane, beyond the corrugated roofs lies a checkerboard of rubble, burning trash piles, tent cities, and flat concrete roofs, most of which (you realize from the ground) have been pancaked.
