              <text>Commercial transportation between the U.S. and Cuba ceased in October 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis.  With regular flights to Miami permanently suspended, Cubans seeking asylum in the United States had to do so via third-party countries or by risking the dangerous passage of the Straits of Florida. During the three years after the Missile Crisis, 30,000 refugees arrived by sea, often in small, overloaded boats.</text>
