This report will be key in identifying and clarifying the possible causes of the tragedy, in accordance with the protocols established by the relevant authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preliminary reports mention as possible causes the heavy weight of the lighting rigs, sound equipment, water tanks, power plant and air conditioning compressors. The structure had originally opened as a movie house and as of 1973 was converted into the iconic night club, best known for its Monday night live concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story is being covered by local and international media. Even the New York Times speculated on the possible causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more in Spanish:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/elnacional.com.do\/gobierno-pide-investigar-tragedia-en-jet-set\/\">El Nacional <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/presidencia.gob.do\/noticias\/onesvie-mantiene-bajo-custodia-escombros-del-jet-set-para-analisis-forense-y-determinar\">Presidency <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/hoy.com.do\/jet-set-onesvie-hara-analisis-forense-estructural\/\">Hoy <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/noticiassin.com\/peso-mortal-analisis-de-felix-de-bedout-senala-que-sobrecargas-estructurales-provocaron-el-colapso-del-jet-set-1817306\/\">Noticias SIN <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/n.com.do\/2025\/04\/13\/procuraduria-inicia-investigacion-para-determinar-causas-del-colapso-en-el-jet-set\/\">N Digital <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=N-7BYn9b8Jw\">Nuria Investigacion 12 April 2025<\/a> <br><a href=\"https:\/\/elnacional.com.do\/indagatoria-sobre-colapso-del-jet-set\/\">El Nacional <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/listindiario.com\/economia\/industria\/20250412\/arquitecto-llama-dar-cumplimiento-normas-edificaciones_853377.html\">Listin Diario <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.com.do\/nacionales\/osiris-de-leon-urge-reglamentar-revision-de-estructura\/\">CDN <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/hoy.com.do\/colapso-en-jet-set-falla-estructural-o-negligencia\/\">Hoy <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BmFSrvUkCno\">Somos Pueblo <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=26elGACW1_c\">Somos Pueblo <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NbD9DomLvbs\">Somos Pueblo <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z5277FpXwbk\">Somos Pueblo <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rWuQ1AqD3ac\">What could have caused the collapse <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/04\/11\/world\/americas\/nightclub-dominican-republic-collapse.html\">The New York Times <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/nation\/2025\/04\/11\/dominican-new-yorkers-mourn-jet-set-nightclub-collapse\/83051638007\/\">USA Today <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>14 April 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Luis Abinader early on designated highly respected engineer Leonardo Reyes Madera to lead the investigations of the collapse of the roof of the JetSet Club.
