Thousands of Haitians leave capital to escape disaster

A flood of people are leaving Haiti's capital to escape the earthquake disaster. Thousands of Haitians streamed out of Port-au-Prince, crowding onto buses bound for countryside villages.

At the airport, scores of Americans boarded a US Air Force cargo jet returning to the United States. But some of them didn't want to leave.

Before boarding, David Lubin said he was only going because he had run out of money.

David Lubin, Evacuee, said, "I want everybody to know, if you're Haitian you've got to come back and help out. This isn't the end of it, this is just the beginning. Everybody pack up and come back home. Because we need you home."
