Pakistan Earthquake: Jim Maceda Has Never Seen Anything Like This

By Brian 

“What happened in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, last Saturday when the earthquake struck was truly unique, as far as my experience as a reporter goes,” NBC News correspondent Jim Maceda wrote on MSNBC.com today. “What we see five days later walking through the streets of this capital is a city that is truly in ruins. I covered Mexico City in 1985, and it pales in comparison to the visible destruction in this town.”

> Brian Williams tips his hat to the reporters on the scene: “Having done what they’re doing now gives me great sympathy for how they are living and what they are witnessing.”
