Show Notes

The roof of an iconic nightclub in the Dominican capital collapsed early Tuesday during a merengue concert attended by politicians, athletes and others, leaving more than 60 people dead and 160 injured, authorities said.


Crews were searching for potential survivors in the rubble at the one-story Jet Set nightclub in Santo Domingo, said Juan Manuel Méndez, director of the Center of Emergency Operations.


“We presume that many of them are still alive, and that is why the authorities here will not give up until not a single person remains under that rubble,” he said.
