The Concert That Ended in a Deadly Collapse

Santo Domingo’s Jet Set club’s Monday merengue show ended in devastation after the roof collapsed on over 300 partygoers—at least 100 people died, and hundreds were injured.

Two ex-MLB players are dead, and merengue legend Rubby Pérez is still missing. Family members and fans stand vigil outside the rubble, praying for miracles as rescue crews search for survivors. Now, a nation has turned its attention to a national tragedy that has exposed an all-too-vulnerable nightlife icon.
