Several hurt in building collapse in Havana

HAVANA, Cuba, September 14 (Oscar Mario González, Grupo Decoro / www.cubanet.org) - An unknown number of people were hurt when a building collapsed in Havana Tuesday. By noon, fire department and medical personnel, as well as work crews, were digging through the rubble of the building in Calzada de 10 de Octubre and Altarriba, in the La Víbora subdivision.

Although some people were presumed to be trapped in the collapse, there was no immediate word on their number or severity of their injuries.

A bystander, a woman carrying a child, said: "It's a good thing the hurricane (referring to hurricane Ivan) bypassed us. Otherwise, it would have leveled everything!"
