Today 45 years ago, a sad offering, 73 lives, passengers of flight CU-455 from Cubana de Aviación, mostly young people, would find their death at the bottom of the waters of the Caribbean Sea as a result of the heinous crime, which devoid of any scruple and sense of justice, was orchestrated by the Cuban-born terrorists Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch Ávila, financed by the CIA, who employed Venezuelans Hernán Ricardo and Freddy Lugo to carry out the vile action.
