#RIPFidel fuels false rumors of Cuban leader's death after another Fidel Castro dies
|
MIAMI — The bulletin falls squarely pantheon unconfirmed phenomena, along U.F.O.s, sightings Loch Ness monster breakup Brad Pitt Angelina Jolie: Fidel Castro dead. Sooner later, true. But Friday, umpteenth time, Miami distracted rumor Mr. Castro, 88, survived revolution, assassination attempts, countless cigars, substantial stress, fall leaving stage life-threatening stomach ailment, finally succumbed. “Hope springs eternal,” said James Cason, former head United States Interests Section Cuba 2002 2005 mayor Coral Gables, wealthy enclave Miami-Dade County. “He must died 20 times since time I went Cuba.” Cuban-Americans gathered usual spot, Versailles restaurant Calle Ocho, Cuban establishments ponder possibility time, maybe, maybe, would true. But even city still fixated Mr. Castro, rumor fatigue obvious. Versailles put Fidel-is-dead game plan action — assigning parking spots local TV radio stations, showed It different La Carreta, restaurant Westchester, Fla., Cuban-American stronghold. “There always doubt this; joke us,” said Manolo Alvarez, 75, retired painter, laughing held court friends front Cuban cafecito counter. “But eventually happen. No one immortal. And join devil.” Castro death alerts come fast frequently days. His age, ill health, long absence public view society’s shift old-school rumor mill hyperspeed Twitter feed make even debunked stories effortlessly spreadable. In fact, determining provenance rumor become kind modern-day parlor game. In case, story probably stemmed simple mix-up, death lesser-known namesake faraway country: Fidel Castro Odinga, son prominent Kenyan politician, Raila Odinga, died Sunday eulogized Thursday. A similar mistake occurred August 1997, Cuban revolutionary figure, Rene Orley Sanchez Castro, died Cuba, spawning swirl speculation around world. Like past false reports, one Friday bolstered tantalizing circumstantial droplets. The last time Mr. Castro seen public Jan. 9, 2014, making Friday first anniversary disappearance. And Mr. Castro, never loss words, failed comment December’s announcements younger brother, Raúl, President Obama United States Cuba would resume diplomatic ties. There also word Friday abruptly scheduled news conference chatter — true — major roads famous revolutionary cemetery Santiago de Cuba, Mr. Castro reportedly buried, repaired. The likeliest explanation Mr. Castro’s absence is, fact, mentally physically frail seen speak. “We don’t know physical state never let know,” Mr. Cason said Cuban officials. “But want remembered strong vigorous. They don’t want seen.” Tales Mr. Castro’s demise surfaced decades. In 1986, State Department beat back flurry reports questions Miami Mr. Castro’s apparent death. The sources speculation varied dubious: A ham radio operator Havana, nurse Cuba telephoned friend Miami, report astrologer. More rumors followed, on, accelerated Mr. Castro vanished stretch 2006 and, again, relinquished power brother Raúl 2008. Through years, Mr. Castro rumored stricken heart attacks, brain hemorrhages, strokes cancer. He alternately delighted derided many attempts “kill early,” joked 1997. “Now enemies prematurely declared dying dead, I happy send compatriots friends around world short film material,” Mr. Castro said 2006, absence. In Miami, death, finally confirmed, historically momentous and, most, cause jubilation. The city dust ever-evolving contingency plans. Even private schools early dismissal emails parents ready. But, certain extent, Mr. Castro’s death also anticlimactic. Years ago, death seen necessary prelude democratic Cuba return home tens thousands exiles. With Raúl Castro firmly place, longer case. “If happened height power, even fading, would different,” said Peter Hakim, Cuba expert Inter-American Dialogue center Washington. “This almost personal battle let Fidel win. Now, I think people beginning accept Fidel won. He go grave government intact U.S. backing unalterable commitment unseat regime installed.”

"If crater anything meteoroid impact, I would expect meteorites found around crater," Jenniskens, Search Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute Mountain View, California, told Space.com via email. No pieces reported, none visible photos crater, Cooke said. "So I'm kind skeptical meteoritic origin crater," said.
