SANTO DOMINGO (AP) - Rescue teams in the Dominican Republic searched Thursday through the rubble of a legendary nightclub whose roof collapsed earlier this week, killing at least 184 people, but hopes of finding survivors were slim.
Meanwhile, dozens of people in the capital Santo Domingo were still searching for their loved ones, frustrated that they had received no answers after visits to hospitals and the forensic institute. Doctors have warned that some of the two dozen patients still hospitalized are not out of danger, eight in particular are in critical condition. Health Minister Dr Victor Atallah said if the trauma is too great, there is not much time left to save patients in this condition. He and other doctors said that among the injuries are fractures to the skull, femur and pelvis caused by cement slabs falling on attendees of a merengue concert at the Jet Set disco in Santo Domingo, where more than 200 people were injured.
