UGC of Cuban refugees
When this makeshift refugee vessel ran into trouble, a cruise ship rescued the survivors, as several passengers documented on their phones. I was on the upper deck 6th floor at the back and i only got pictures after they got off. a worker told me that they were going to hondoras first then to america but their engine broke and they couldn't fix it because a shark was following their boat. they are going to be sent back to cuba which shows you how lousy the cuban country is right now. they got lucky because the waters were choppy that night and they would have been done for.
