After the roof of a disco in the Dominican Republic was inherited, the number of Killen Opera rose to 221. There is practically no hope for survivors: the search for living victims was stopped.
189 people were recovered alive from the ruins. The rescue workers had previously stated that the search for further survivors had now been hopeless and therefore assumed. “We feel sad about this tragedy that the Dominican people chased,” Méndez told journalists. The rescue staff are completing the search use.
The roof of the popular disco “Jet Set” in the capital Santo Domingo collapsed on Tuesday morning. Aerial photos of the scene of the accident can be seen that a large hole now fits on the former location of the huge club. A survivor said on Dominican television that she had fled the restaurant when dust stretched from above her drink and then hit a falling stone.
Accident during the concert event
The accident had taken place during a concert by Merengue star Rubby Pérez. Pérez also died in the accident, as his manager confirmed. The news had a lot of sympathy among artists, as messages in online networks can be seen.
How many guests had stayed in the disco at the time of the accident was unclear. There was 500 to 1,000 guests in Media reports. More than 300 rescue workers had feverishly searched for survivors. Since Tuesday afternoon (local time), no one has recovered from the ruins alive.
In this post you can see a video that the club shows before and after the catastrophe:
“All sensible possibilities to find more survivors,” said the authorities on Wednesday. That is why only possible other fatalities are now being sought. The authorities did not say how many people were missing.
The emergency services remained on the spot for so long “until nobody is looking for a victim,” announced Emergency Chief Méndez. Dozens of people were waiting around the collapsed disco as well as for hospitals and the funeral hall to get the message of their missing family members or to identify fatalities. José Santana lost four family members in the accident. “Yesterday we performed hospitals all day,” he said. “Unfortunately they let us know this morning that they are all dead.”
Mercedes López desperately searched for her son. “We received no information at all, he was neither on the lists, nor was it in the hospitals,” she told the AFP press agency. Juan Francisco Rosario, whose sister and cousin were seriously injured in the accident and whose niece died, spoke about a “tragedy that met the whole Dominican people”.
Capitation of condolences of the pope
In fact, since the start of this millennium, there has been no accident in the Caribbean country with more fatalities. Head of the state of Luis Abinader called for a three -day mourning. Pope Francis explained in condoleas to the Dominicans, the “tragic collapse” with the many victims painfully painfully painful.
According to the authorities, an investigation into the accident must start after the search operation has been completed. Official information about the nationality of the victims in the country is still popular with holidaymakers. According to the US State Secretary Marco Rubio, there was at least one American citizen among the fatalities.
The Dominican Republic of the Caribbean country is popular with tourists because of the beaches and party culture. According to the Ministry of Tourism, more than eleven million visitors entered the country in 2024.
