Piercing pain

This aerial view shows the cleaned area of the roof collapse at the Jet Set nightclub in Santo Domingo on Friday, Manila time. The death toll in the collapse has reached 218, security forces reported, as they concentrate on finding the last bodies in the area of the tragedy. More than 500 people were injured in the incident. The unlucky ones did not manage to escape when the roof of the Jet Set club—a 50-year-old institution in Santo Domingo—collapsed while popular merengue singer Rubby Perez sang to an adoring crowd in the early hours of Tuesday.
