A roof collapse at a concert in a popular nightclub in the capital of the Dominican Republic has killed at least 221 people, authorities said on Thursday, with recovery efforts set to wrap up as families mourn the dead. Politicians, athletes and other prominent local figures had gathered at the Jet Set club in Santo Domingo earlier this week for a concert by merengue singer Rubby Perez. The event turned tragic when the roof suddenly collapsed after midnight Tuesday. Emergency teams pulled nearly 200 survivors from the building on Tuesday. Rescue workers were not expecting to find more on Thursday.
