HAVANA (AP) --
An elevator in one of Havana's tallest buildings
plunged out
of control Friday, killing one person and injuring at least
three, police
said.
The accident
occurred at the 28-story Focsa building, which was built
before the 1959
Cuban revolution, is one of the better known structures
in Havana. There
was no immediate word on what caused the elevator to
fall.
After the communist
government took power, the building became home
to many of the
Soviet technicians and other workers who lived in Cuba.
Since the collapse
of the Soviet Union a decade ago, it has housed
apartments and
offices for various foreign news organizations, and
cultural organizations.
