Is it totally impractical to imagine that pallets of water and food could be dropped with parachutes from planes other than helicopters? .... I've wondered if Haiti has horses, donkeys, mules, etc....? Gas seems to be a huge problem, as does blocked roads. Cars and trucks are literally falling apart or were smashed in the earthquake. Could animals deliver some of these supplies? As far as trained warehousemen, great idea to present to companies like Costco and Target, etc.....They all train their own employees to drive fork lifts....No reason they wouldn't at least give some basics to the general public for any eventuality in the future. Problem is, how to get enough fork lifts and trucks into a country, or area in a country.
