Hundreds feared dead
Haiti's Hotel Montana, Hotel Christopher collapse in Haiti
Friday, January 15, 2010

Some 200 guests have been reported missing at Hotel Montana, a 4-star tourist hotel that is one of the many buildings in and around Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince that were destroyed in Tuesday's massive earthquake. Alain Joyandet, an official with France's State Department, tells Agence France-Presse that 300 people were believed to be inside the 145-key Montana when it collapsed, while only about 100 have been accounted for. The 98-year-old hotel, which was popular with French tourists, is said to be completely destroyed.

Also collapsing was Port-au-Prince's 3-star Hotel Christopher, which served as headquarters of the United Nations Stabilization Mission to Haiti. Approximately 200 UN staff were inside the 74-key hotel when it collapsed, and at least 150 remain unaccounted for as of Wednesday morning, according to The Wall Street Journal. Another hotel housing UN workers, Port-au-Prince's upscale Karibe Hotel, is also reportedly destroyed, according to the New Zealand Herald.

The earthquake registered 7.0 on the Richter Scale. Thousands are feared dead across the impoverished island nation.
