| Description: | Contrast is on the light side, film is a little jumpy A third of this historic Caribbean seaport is razed during the night by recurring shocks that leave death and desolation in their wake. Thousands suffer injuries and at least eight are known to have died in the catastrophe that terrified the 70,000 inhabitants of the city. The cathedral is laid in ruins, and many of the important structures in the business section are destroyed in the night of havoc. | |
