The magnitude 6.1 Richter scale temblor was the largest of more than 40 significant aftershocks that have followed the January 12 earthquake; the extent of further damage or injuries was not instantly clear.

Wails of horror rose from frightened survivors as the earth trembled at 6:03 am US soldiers, and tent city refugees equally raced for open ground and clouds of dust rose in the city, video on new 2nd Haiti 6.1 aftershock given below and pictures.
