Major League Baseball pitcher Octavio Dotel has been rescued after a roof collapsed and killed 27 at a popular night club in the Dominican Republic.

The incident took place around 12:44 am Tuesday during merengue singer Rubby Pérez's live performance when a section of the ceiling plummeted at the Jet Set venue in Santo Domingo.




Be careful where you go in 3rd world countries.

That newish-looking triple package unit looks VERY heavy.

I'm guessing you did not want to be dancing underneath that air conditioner.

lol. I did a 5 day visit to Santo Domingo in ‘22, went all over, and never felt unsafe. We were in a barrio helping clean up a public park for 3 full days. People were exceptionally friendly to us and were grateful to have help. I had a Haitian dude follow me around for half hour trying to get me to go to his whore house, but that was the extent of my issues.

Americans are delusional retards who have been conditioned to believe the world is far more dangerous than it is.

Oh wow, you're right, so I guess the chances of something like this happening are the same in the US as in the Dominican Republic.

Every time I am talking to someone who has to get a project past inspection I curse our ridiculous bureaucratic system. Then I see something like this.

Of course, let's not forget what happened at the Hard Rock in NOLA and how the system screwed that one up.

So I guess six of one or half dozen of the other?

Never understood the point of staying put in a resort when traveling. They all look the same.
