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!"
