The owner of Jet Set nightclub in the Dominican Republic admitted the building had serious structural problems for over a decade before the roof collapsed earlier this month, killing 232 people. He revealed that plasterboard patch jobs were common, and no one ever properly inspected the roof or the water systems. The owner, Antonio Espaillat, said he’s heartbroken and apologized to the victims’ families, insisting he never saw any warning signs. Lawsuits are now piling up, and the disaster has sparked a bigger conversation about unsafe buildings in the country, with new safety laws in the works.
