Havana Cuba. – Finally, what everyone knew: they will not be able to identify the bodies that disappeared during the fire in Matanzas Because the fire left nothing, just about 800 calcined fragments of what was a group of young people, some almost children, sent to death.
The search paripé has concluded with another delay National duel But also with the express promotion of the director of Cuba Petróleo (CUPET) to deputy minister of Energy and Mineseven when the scenario of the most recent accident And when we still don’t know for sure what happened at the Saratoga Hotelthat is, if the explosion was due to negligence of Gaviota SA, owner of the building, or the company in charge of the fuel supply that, surprisingly, is the same that now has just lost four gigantic storage tanks in Matanzas, without a doubt by A very serious failure in deposit safety.
I do not know if I will be too suspicious, after knowing in such a short time of such frequent deaths and destruction “sudden” and “by accident”, but with so many things going wrong what comes for those responsible are prizes and not punishment – or at least a strong reprimand—then everything starts to smell too bad.
If the Saratoga Hotel explosion at least showed a capuously edited video – for others taken from the security camera of a police station -, of the ray that impacted the tank where the fire began in the base of Superanqueros de Matanzas we have not seen nor the slightest flash, even if the surveillance cameras are not lacking pointing to that area of the port, of very high economic interest.
Moreover, the detailed explanations about why the cause of the fire was ray and not “anything else”, they have reached us not from the official press but through publications scattered in social networks of people who claim to be “experts” but that In reality, they have not visited the area of the incident to corroborate their hasty certainties.
But these “experts” who have come out of motu proprio To stop the comments that point to an obvious failure in the security of the place and even in the design of the installation, they have not stopped to offer a convincing response on the obvious differences that are appreciated, according to the satellite photo of Google Maps prior to the fire, between the dome structure of tank 52 and the other seven tanks of that same battery.
It is such an obvious difference, so rare in this “strange” matter, that I cannot explain why the media have overlooked it or have settled for the absence of an “official response.”
Although the occasional comment left out there by other “experts” do not give importance to such details, as long Regime propaganda means have preferred not to clarify the matter, even to cross out of “sensationalist” or Fake Newsprobably because it is not of their interest that people divert their attention to something that could end “expert” firefighters could not suffocate.
Most of the dead at the scene are inexperienced boys, from distant fire units, not linked to the Super Tanker Base, and of course they were not even trained for this type of fire. So why were those boys sent to the first line? Why didn’t they leave them in the rear, as a support group they were?
I have no choice but to think the worst, the most sordid, especially in the light of those rapid calls – the same in publications of OnCuba signed by “unconditional” than in Congress, in Washington- to put an end to the embargo, due to the “exceptional situation” that the country was experiencing due to the fire. White on the outside and yellow on the inside…
But the only thing corroborated throughout this murky matter is that of the people closest to tank 51 and 52 today there are very few survivors. And we will know over time how many of these will survive the trauma experienced on the spot.
Those poor innocent people who could see with their eyes what happened, as well as giving subsequent testimony of the stubbornness of an unnecessary “combat order”, was turned into 754 small unidentifiable fragments.
There have been these days of “setbacks turned into victories”-according to the triumphalism of the official discourse-too many awards, medals, auto-quotes even when, in the midst of so much mourning, blackouts and hung It could be that the “accidental” fire was a “success” that we still don’t know about.
Because having begun by simple carelessness or systematic abandonment, because the security system does not endure lightning, even in an area where storms, so many deaths and economic losses abound must have a direct or “collateral” responsible person (which, associated with the punishment , it is one of the words preferred by the regime when you need to get rid of some honest but annoying official).
But to everyone’s surprise, the person who could say the most about whether security was abandoned or not, or if the country’s authorities were informed at some point about the possibility of the incident in Matanzas and at the Hotel Saratoga, has been converted. from director to deputy minister; It doesn’t matter if the company he has left behind is a real ticking time bomb.
A bomb not only because A theme that directly concerns CUPET and therefore provides a lot of cloth where to cut and that, although it seems not to be related, could shed light on these “strange” things that seem to happen by “accident.”
