This happened a few minutes ago in Havana, Cuba. A huge explosion took place at the Saratoga Hotel destroying the hotel. So far there are 17 injured and 1 death. This is still a developing story.

These are amateur videos of Cubans (in Spanish) at the scene of the disaster. None of these videos show injured people or dead ones, in case you are wondering. The damage to the building is obvious. Hopefully this was a mistake and not some sort of terrorism.
