President Miguel Diaz-Cabnel went to the explosion place to assist the injured citizens, who are being transferred to emergency hospitals.
On Friday morning, a strong explosion occurred at the Saratoga Hotel in downtown Havana for a crack in a liquefied gas supply tube.
The facade of the historical building was practically destroyed, so the Police had to close traffic for collapsing danger. So far, authorities have confirmed that eight people have died, 19 citizens were injured, and other 13 remain missing...

Isn’t LNG supposed to be converted to “natural gas” before it goes to the customer?
“...crack in a liquefied gas supply tube.”
Ouch. That’ll do it.
Sounds like Cuba needs some socialist sayings, like Build Back Better and Putin’s Price Hikes.
I am not sure but who knows how they do it in Cuba “Free Territory In America” at least that’s what the radio stations down there always said when I was younger.
Here’s the NY Post story on it:

“President Miguel Diaz-Cabnel went to the explosion place to assist the injured citizens,”
Canadian sex tourists hardest hit.
Most likely.
He was there being a good socialist example to the good socialist citizens of Cuba.
Dont think so. LNG is pretty much same as propane. Ya buy propane in.liquid form
The Cuban Communist revolutionaries are long dead at this point.
What you see in Cuban today are folks suffering in dire poverty through no fault of their own.
Many buildings in Havana are literally falling apart.
It’s a shame because if they had been restored as in other countries, Havana would be one of the most beautiful cities on the planet.
The old slogans only last so long.
The 1930s building was restored and refurbished in 2005 - but I don’t think our Socialist heroes do infrastructure maintenance.
Could the US jump start them into the 21st century in say 10 years? Just think. All that architecture refurbished. Pay them $2/day instead of the $1 an MD gets. Give them all the old ford Fiestas and Rangers along with the oil from the SPR as needed(slowly). I’ve suggested it before. Super fast growth without getting sick too fast from it. Duty-free Cuban cigars dispersed at the 7-11’s. Tourism without the cat houses. Music districts.
Miami Cubans will want their property back. Just don’t make the mistakes like we did in Iraq. Watch the change.
Who writes this drivel....”went to the explosion place”
Probably Google translation.🤔
