The summer of 1994
was a very tough one in Cuba.
:02:24
People got tired
and decided to do things...
:02:26
they never dared do before.
:02:31
Put up your cash, gentlemen.
:02:34
I'll never forget
when they hijacked...
:02:37
the ferry to Regla...
:02:40
which is used to cross the bay.
:02:45
When the Soviet Union fell...
:02:47
the Cuban economy collapsed.
:02:50
And Cubans got fed up with...
:02:55
all the shortages.
:02:59
All I've got is...
:03:01
sadness in my heart.
:03:05
Only sadness in my heart.
:03:14
I think it was August 5.
:03:18
They tried to hiijack the ferry.
:03:22
They had knives, even a grenade.
:03:29
They ran out of fuel.
:03:35
Water! Fuel!
:03:38
They didn't know there
was a reserve tank at the bottom.
:03:45
The Cuban Coast Guard
intercepted them at sea.
:03:53
When the people on the shore...
:03:57
heard the ferry
had been stopped...
