Tragedy at Jet Set Nightclub Leaves Santo Domingo in Shock
Hey everyone, I’ve got some heavy news out of the Dominican Republic that’s been making waves—something that has truly shaken not just a city, but a whole nation. Early Tuesday morning, tragedy struck at one of Santo Domingo’s most iconic nightlife spots: the Jet Set nightclub. If you know the Dominican party scene, you know Jet Set isn't just any club—it’s a cultural landmark. But in a matter of seconds, the celebration turned to chaos.
At least 13 people have been confirmed dead after the club’s roof unexpectedly collapsed during a live performance by the legendary merengue singer Rubby Pérez. Can you imagine? People were out enjoying their night, dancing, laughing, living the moment—and then the roof literally gave out above them. More than 100 people were either injured or transferred to nearby hospitals. And as of the latest updates, rescue crews are still digging through the debris, hoping—just hoping—that more survivors might be found.

Rubby Pérez himself was pulled out alive, thankfully. His manager later confirmed he’s in stable condition, but this disaster has left deep scars. You can only imagine the horror—people under rubble, families rushing to hospitals hoping to hear their loved one’s name called out as a survivor. At one hospital, a spokesperson was standing outside reading names as crowds anxiously gathered. The emotional weight in that moment must have been overwhelming.
President Luis Abinader quickly responded, assuring the nation that all rescue teams were working tirelessly, and indeed they are. Footage from the scene shows total devastation: crumbled cement, a shattered roof, and emergency responders trying to make sense of it all.
No official cause of the collapse has been confirmed yet, but an investigation is certainly underway. The city’s mayor, Carolina MejÃa, called it “a terrible tragedy” and expressed heartfelt condolences to all the families still waiting for news.
This is one of those moments that stops you in your tracks. It’s a reminder of how fragile things are, how quickly joy can turn to sorrow. Let’s keep all the victims and their families in our thoughts. Whether you're from the Dominican Republic or just someone who loves the music, the nightlife, the culture—this hits home. And hopefully, from this tragedy, there will come answers, support for the affected, and changes to ensure such a heartbreaking event never happens again.
