Roof Collapse at Jet Set Nightclub Leaves 13 Dead in Santo Domingo

A tragic incident at a nightclub in the Dominican Republic has resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries, as rescue operations are ongoing.


A roof collapse during a concert at the Jet Set discotheque in Santo Domingo has left at least 13 individuals dead and many more injured, with rescue workers tirelessly searching for survivors. The incident occurred early Tuesday morning when popular merengue singer Rubby Pérez was performing. Dominican President Luis Abinader has extended his condolences to the affected families while emergency officials report that around 93 ambulance trips were made to local hospitals. The precise cause of the collapse remains under investigation, although hopes persist that some individuals trapped under the debris still may be alive.

Rescue workers have freed dozens of people from the collapsed building, as they continue their search amidst the debris. The director of the Emergency Operations Centre, Juan Manuel Méndez, remains optimistic about finding more survivors. Rescue efforts are complicated, and officials are scrambling to assess the full extent of casualties resulting from this tragic event.
