HAVANA — The elegant Hotel Saratoga was supposed to reopen in Havana Tuesday after a two-year pandemic break. Instead, it was a day of mourning for the 42 people known to have died in an explosion that ripped apart the building and of continued searching for yet more victims.
Emergency workers continued to hunt through the ruins for the missing as experts began to consider the fate of the 19th century building, a former warehouse that had been converted into a hotel early in the last century.
