The collapse of a nightclub roof in the Dominican Republic claimed 232 lives and was attributed to persistent filtration problems. Owner Antonio Espaillat revealed the roof had been patched multiple times with plasterboard. Despite numerous repairs, including recent waterproofing, the structure was never properly inspected. During a heartfelt interview, Espaillat expressed his devastation over the tragedy and the loss of life, emphasizing that the ceiling had not been evaluated for safety despite previous incidents.
"To the families of the victims, I want to say I'm sorry. I'm very sorry. I am completely destroyed."
