They like to get together with friends \u2014 and Jet Set was a place for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That decades-old Monday night ritual ended in catastrophe this week, when the building\u2019s roof came crashing down in the middle of Mr. P\u00e9rez\u2019s performance. Videos show him singing and dancing while people wondered aloud what was falling from the ceiling. Then a thunderous boom brought the show to a calamitous halt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The tragedy has claimed at least 124 lives so far, including Mr. P\u00e9rez\u2019s, devastating a nation better known for sandy beaches and fast dance moves. The disco turned mass graveyard is now being called \u201cGround Zero.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The victims included the owner of one of the country\u2019s most prestigious banks, his wife and sister, whose recent wedding made the cover of a local lifestyle <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C9A2IxJvq94\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">magazine.<\/a> The groom, who also died, was the son of the nation\u2019s minister of public works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Nelsy Cruz, the governor of the province of Monte Cristi, was among the first confirmed dead, and two former Major League Baseball players, Octavio Dotel and Tony Blanco, were also killed. Pedro Mart\u00ednez, a Hall of Fame pitcher, said in a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DINOHUMvfBL\/?hl=en&amp;img_index=2\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">social media post<\/a> that several of his family members were still in the club\u2019s rubble.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Now Dominicans are lining up to donate blood, as hundreds of rescue workers in yellow hard hats and fluorescent jackets sift through the rubble to find survivors or bodies. Teams from Puerto Rico, Mexico and Israel arrived to help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The authorities have not said how many people were at the concert, but said they are \u201ctriangulating\u201d the number of tickets sold with the number of people in the hospitals and at the morgue to figure out how many people might still be trapped in the rubble. Rescuers spotted 20 additional bodies in the ruins, but by late Wednesday afternoon had not yet been able to remove them all, authorities said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After more than 150 rescues, no one has been brought out alive since Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Carlos Santos, a television and radio producer in Santo Domingo, called the disaster the biggest blow in the history of the Dominican Republic\u2019s entertainment industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWith Jet Set they bury the capital\u2019s tradition of musical group performances,\u201d Mr. Santos said. \u201cAt the moment, there is no club that has the history, the trajectory or the time that Jet Set had.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Jet Set opened in the 1970s at a different location and moved some years ago to a former movie theater a block from the malec\u00f3n, the sea wall. It could seat up to 700 people \u2014 a capacity that rose to 1,000 if tables were removed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was known as an upscale hangout for the city\u2019s elite business and political class, where top artists performed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt was iconic,\u201d recalled Rosa Rabin, a South Florida singer who used to perform there. \u201cThere was no group that didn\u2019t go there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But she will especially miss Mr. P\u00e9rez, whom she described as a charismatic entertainer with no ego.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHe was a very important figure in our music and our culture,\u201d Ms. Rabin said. \u201cHe was part of our culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. P\u00e9rez started his career as a lead vocalist for the famed merengue band leader, Wilfrido Vargas, and had recently begun singing Christian music, Mr. Santos said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the videos Mr. Santos saw, he said his friend appeared more cheerful than usual Monday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHe looked more lively, more enthusiastic and with more joy,\u201d Mr. Santos said. \u201cHe was even dancing in a way that he normally wouldn\u2019t. His face looked really pleasant, happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He was the only act performing Monday at Jet Set, which was owned by a prominent family in the entertainment industry in Santo Domingo. Through a representative, the owners declined to answer questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cTo you, mothers, fathers, siblings, children and loved ones of those affected: You can count on us,\u201d the owner, Antonio <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DIM_K99vlN2\/?hl=en\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Espaillat, said<\/a> in a slickly produced video posted on social media. \u201cEverything we do now, every decision, every step, has one purpose: to live up to your pain and be with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The people who live near the nightclub said they had been battling the owners over noise complaints and smoke from the club\u2019s generators for years, but said they had found the family\u2019s political influence and connections too difficult to beat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But following the deadly roof collapse, politicians and reporters are interested in their problems, said Ysabel Garc\u00eda, a neighbor who said the music and the generators that were used to power the club kept the neighborhood up all night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhen we were knocking on doors for them to come to a protest we held against them, they said: \u2018Jet Set? Untouchable,\u2019\u201d Ms. Garc\u00eda said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The noise even shook furniture in their homes, she said. Neighbors tried filing complaints with authorities, but saw few results.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">She and other neighbors said large air conditioning condensers had been placed on the roof after recent renovations, making the situation more dangerous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe lights reached the beds and the vibration reached the windows,\u201d said Lourdes Artiles, who lived behind the club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe only night we rested was Tuesdays,\u201d when the club was closed, she added. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The authorities said it was too early to determine the cause of the disaster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI think Jet Set is history,\u201d Mr. Rodr\u00edguez, the former culture minister, said. \u201cIt\u2019s too much pain. I don\u2019t think it can be recovered.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Hogla Enecia P\u00e9rez<!-- --> contributed reporting from Santo Domingo, the Dominican
