It seems counterintuitive that the death of Fabienne Cherismas, a fifteen-year-old girl shot by police following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, became a symbol of the earthquake. Her death was unrelated to the earthquake; it resulted from an accidental misfiring. When the earthquake struck Haiti in 2010, it caused widespread panic, destruction, and suffering among the population, affecting many innocent lives. Amidst this chaos, Fabienne’s tragic incident occurred. Police could not control people during this earthquake and because of that, it led to looting. Fabienne was a 15-year-old girl who had her whole life ahead of her and she was struck during police trying to gain control over the situation. Whether it was an accident or it was on purpose, her life was lost that day and reporters trying to make her the symbol of the earthquake show some lack of remorse. Instead of helping the situation reporters decided to take photos of it all happening and even if there wasn’t much they could have done to help, it would have been better to stay out of the way than to stand in front of her lifeless body photographing it. She shouldn’t be a symbol for an earthquake that also destroyed other lives but should be reported as its own thing instead.
