Havana: IN THE RUINS (5#) -

The Aftermath of Hurricane Ike . . .

In what used to be the City of Havana, 67 buildings have reportedly collapsed, added to the 16 buildings that fell the previous day. And emergency crews have uncovered the body of Pedro Pablo Gonzalez, buried under three stories of rubble there.

Experts estimate at least 70 percent of the housing stock in the ruined city of Havana is unsafe, meaning that it would be condemned in the U.S.
