Her passing gave the national tragedy even another devastating dimension. “Our city wakes up to a terrible tragedy that occurred.
At the Jet Set nightclub,” said Mayor Carolina Mejía de Garrigó of Santo Domingo. My thoughts and prayers are with the families who are still awaiting word on their loved ones.
There was a lot of confusion and emotion in hospitals. While worried families cried out the names of their lost loved ones, officials waited outside reciting the names of survivors.
Twelve of the 31 wounded were in serious condition when they were transported to Dr. Dario Contreras Hospital, according to Noticias SIN. The collapse’s reason is still a mystery.
Through Charge d’Affaires Patricia Aguilera, the U.S. Embassy in Santo Domingo also released a statement, saying, “We stand in solidarity with the families of the victims,
The injured, and all the Dominican people at this difficult time.” “We are grateful for the rescue teams’ unwavering efforts,” she said on Facebook.
