Together with our entire nation, we commemorate the tragic and painful 49th anniversary of 6 October 1976, the date on which a Cubana de Aviación aircraft carrying 73 passengers and crew members—57 Cubans, 11 Guyanese and 5 Koreans, most of them young people under the age of 20—was destroyed in mid-flight in one of the most brutal and ruthless terrorist acts ever committed in this hemisphere. All passengers and crew members died, including the 22 members of the youth fencing team.
