Train accident in Cuba injures 79
With billions of dollars diverted into Castro family bank accounts overseas over their decades-long rule, there is little money left to address the decaying infrastructure and transportation system in Cuba, which continues to take a deadly toll on the Cuban people. According to the regime itself, which is well known for its unreliable and farcical statistics, there were more than 100 train accidents in Cuba in 2010 alone.
In Guantanamo just yesterday, a train accident injured 79 people:
Train crash injures 79 in Cuba
HAVANA (BNO NEWS) -- At least 79 people were injured on Tuesday when two trains collided in the eastern Cuban province of Guantanamo, local newspaper Venceremos reported.
The driver of the small train said the brakes didn't work, causing the small train to collide with the passenger train. Authorities, however, are still investigating what caused the technical problem.
Most of the injured sustained only minor injuries. Rogelio Creach Bandera, director of Guantanamo's Regional Hospital, said that two people were in serious condition and may have to undergo surgery.
According to official figures, there were 106 train accidents in Cuba in 2010. At least 19 people were killed and 149 were injured.
Not a problem. Their medical care is free, even if it's not exactly topnotch.

Well, no Cuban trains for YOU, Alberto. Even a bumpy ride could be fatal.
