Poster by Chepe
I expected that I would see many more soon, as for example after the Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, the terror attacks in London or Madrid or the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001, but none arrived.
Puzzled, I searched Twitter, then Facebook, and finally Google, and found some more, not many, among them a poster by John Maeda pointing out that the 1989 earthquake in San Francisco had cost only 63 lives although it had magnitude 7.1 while the Haiti quake cost 200'000 lives inspite of being weaker with magnitude 7.0, doubtless because of superior construction techniques in the US.
Strange.
Has the poster category "disaster poster" lost it's interest, after booming for ten years?
Have these posters ceased to be "trending topics" in Twitter terms?
Is there something politically incorrect about a Haiti earthquake poster?
Or is Posterpage simply loosing market share to Facebook?
More Haiti posters in the web.
