    266 lives lost in a single night in Havana Harbor, and still no settled answer more than a century later — that unresolved cause is what turns a naval disaster into a real mystery. Do you think a modern forensic re-examination of the wreck could ever settle whether it was an internal explosion or an external mine?

    Like always the USA lying about being attacked to justify its own attack
