The strong rumors unleashed by a fire that last Saturday burned five school buses in Cojímar, East Havana, have led the authorities of the Ministry of Transportation to publish a note in which they attribute to an electrical failure that occurred while one of the buses was being repaired. the buses
“Unable to put out the fire, due to the strong breezes at that time, the flames spread, reaching four other buses that were paralyzed in the area.
Work continues on the investigations, to delve into the causes that generated this unfortunate event”, argues a brief release of the automotive transport business group.
The fire occurred around 3:00 p.m. on Saturday in the bus standstill area, four of the Chinese brand Yutong and one Diana. The fact, published in the page of Facebook Accidentes buses & trucks, led to multiple speculations from those who considered it an act of sabotage and who questioned the effectiveness of the firefighters who did not arrive more quickly to prevent the burning of five collective vehicles.

The assumptions have not stopped in the same forum, where a user has raised the possibility that lately more vehicles are burning. Although there is no real data to verify it, the dissemination of this information through networks can support the theory. Among the answers, some raise the poor quality or adulteration of the fuel, the shortage of fire extinguishers where there should be, or poor repairs with cables spliced without much knowledge.
The explanations have not calmed the users of that page, which tracks all kinds of incidents related to traffic and vehicles, or the business group. In both there has been a crossover of accusations between users who defend the work of the company and those who question it, those who believe that the news is being managed with transparency and those who consider that the power failure is an excuse to hide attacks that put on the ropes to the government.
What seems to agree with a majority is that the buses that were next to the initially burned could have been saved if they had had tires, but the fact of being without them complicated their mobilization.
