#Videocrux - US troops secure Haiti airport, aid begins to flow US troops secure Haiti airport, aid begins to flow
Troopers from the US Army's 82nd Airborne division fanned out to secure quake-hit Haiti's main airport Friday, as a massive international got into gear and aid started to flow in.
1st distribution of aid begins from airport
Haitians cowered in fear on Saturday as armed looters scavenged through their ruined capital filled with the stench of rotting corpses after the earthquake, which the UN said was the worst disaster it had ever faced. A vanguard of the 10,000 US troops being deployed to Haiti has taken control of the airport, clogged with tons of relief supplies, and has begun the first distribution of aid to quell the threat of violence.
Aid being distributed through helicopters
Aid is also being distributed from the USS Carl Vinson, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier where 19 helicopters have been carrying out limited aid drops.
