When you need to know, we got you three things
you need to Know on Boston's number one for hip
hop and the best throwbacks you haven't any more Vive.
It's Wednesday, April Nights. Certainly not how I want to
start out the news. And this is so crazy because
it's so close to home for you, son. And yesterday
the show ends and you're looking at your phone and
(00:26):
you're like, oh my god, oh my god. Actually, look,
I've been here before. And it was a picture of
jet Set, which is a club in Santo Domingo, and
you're like, I have spent time here. I've been here,
my parents have been here. And the photo you showed
me looked like it was something out.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Of a movie.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Watching some of the videos this morning, I can't even
it really does look like a movie.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It doesn't feel real.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
The iconic nightclub in the Dominican Republic co Life as
nearly an hour after Marengue concert began, killing at least
ninety eight people from what we know right.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Now so far. Dude, what's crazy is that I saw
the story for the first time and it said something
like twelve I'm like, oh my god, that's as crazy
as that afternoon went on. It rose and rose. I
can't believe that many people died. I can't one.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Hundred and sixty at least injured. I feel like the
number will climb.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It's so crazy, you guys, because the roof, you're probably thinking,
why did the roof fall? And we'll get to that,
but the way it fell, some people could kind of
see some pieces and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
It was like the lights went out. That's how I
can describe.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
It, Like a few pieces fall while you're watching the
video and then boom, the light goes out and it's
dead silent.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Clearly, it wasn't enough time for people to scream. It's
crazy watching the.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Videos, and that was the video from yesterday. Now, I
just came across a bunch more that's kind of showed
the same thing, but you have a wider view of
what happened, and it is horrifying.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Politicians were there, Athletes were there, obviously, tons of civilians
were there. Nelsi Cruz, who's the governor of Monte Cristi
Province and the sister of.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Nelson Cruz All Star.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, was one of the first people to alert the
Dominican Republic's president. She called him from the rubble and
was like, I'm under the ceiling. This just happened, Like,
you got to get people here. She later then died
at the hospital.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, and he told that story. He was on the
news because he drove right down there. He was down
there like all day, and it's impressive to see that,
but he told the story. And it's harpicking to think
that he received the phone call from somebody that was underneath.
That's crazy.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
So many people.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Are asking the question this morning, how did this happen?
What was going on with this structure? And most of
the articles I read some on it says, quote, it's
unclear how the government officials inspect buildings in the Dominican
Republic and when the last and on this building at
jets that was even done.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I love the place I was born, The Dominican to
me means so much. But I'll be honest with you,
the way that checks and balances work there with with officials,
and it's kind of corrupt. They don't inspect there the
way they do here. And I always tell people that, like, listen,
you're going to another country. Where the rules are different.
I mean, you pay somebody off, they can you know,
(03:24):
skip here like here and there. And I'm sure the
inspections have not been done and not up to code.
And that's me speculating, but just knowing how things work
down there. And it's sad because the unfortunate thing is
things like this are there just a result of that.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Well, there's also interviews with people who said just by
the looks of the building on the outside, they were
like it was.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Not up to par. And this place has been around
for a long time. Like I remember as a kid
when the place first opened, it was like, oh my god,
this venue is huge, just frighting a certain part of town.
That's amazing. And I went there two years ago, two
years ago. It's a great place.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
So crazy that you were there, Yeah, that recent And.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
My mother was just talking to me and she was like, yeah,
we go there like all the time because it's not
too far from where they used to live.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
And wasn't there a classic Marange autists yeah, Ruby pros Yeah,
and all the videos you see him just having the
time of his life. Everybody's enjoying and.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
He was legit performing. Yeah, like when the roof came
down and he passed away. It's crazy, it is wild.
But again, love the Dominican. I love every like everything
about it, but it's just a different world when it
comes to inspections and checks and bounces and making sure
things are well.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
We're also just coming off the story of the former
Major League baseball player whose son died in the Dominican.
But it's the same and that turns out to be
from carbon monoxide.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, and again I tell people this like all the
time you travel outside of the US is just different,
Like it's not like it is here.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
So well, like I said, ninety eight people are gone
as of this morning, one hundred and sixty plus are injured.
I feel like that number is only going to climb.
Santi's just showing me videos on TikTok horn of people
basically saying I haven't heard from this person. I haven't
heard from that person. Like if you if you know anything,
let us know. People are waiting to their videos.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Are were wild to me and I've seen a couple
of these were the people who were seeing that something
was going on. Yeah, there's one video. Well, a bunch
of ladies were like leaving and you see them looking
back and up at the roof. There's another video of
a guy who was videotaping from the side of the
stage and then all of a sudden you start hear
him say what's happening, what's happening, and then they start
pointing to the roof, and then all of a sudden
goes dark.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
The one I just watched I killed Me was this
woman walking out of the rubble like in tears, like
covered in ash and like like it's crazy, just a
mess from what just happened, with the blood on her arm.
I'm like Jesus, like this is like still real.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It's one of those was like you never think it's
going to be you, right, You never think you're going
to go to a Marenguae concert and have so much
fun with all your friends and then that something tragic
is going to happen.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You don't think that.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Well, well, that's the other thing, Like the night life
there is such an important piece of what that culture
is and like everybody goes out, it's a social thing.
Everything goes out, and everybody thinks it's like a safe thing,
which it usually is until this happens.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yeah, that's awful. So thoughts and prayers. I know your
mother will keep us updated. She's on it.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
All right, Let's go to Dedham because we got three
new jurors that were seated yesterday in the retrial of
one Karen Reid. You know what that means, fellas one
more four oh sty total. We need you, We need
the alternates, so we need sixteen total. We got twelve
as of now, we have six men and six women.
(06:27):
I don't know if you guys care about this as
much as I do, but this stuff interests me. So
forty seven people in yesterday's pool, okay, forty five of.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Them had heard of the case.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
So forty five out of the forty seven admitted they
had heard about the case. Twenty seven said they had
already formed an opinion, and fifteen.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Said, hey, can't do it. I have a bias.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Twenty five said serving as a juror in the case
would have been a quote hardship for them.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Absolutely. And you said there were two people who said
they have not heard of the case. Clearly they're lying.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
They want to.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Outside of core.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Karen told the reporters that she thinks opening statements could
happen as early as next Tuesday. Like less than a
week from today, if in fact they can figure out
these alternates this week. She also said she's anxious. She
said it's in God's hands. We're fighting, we're working as
hard as we can. She also went on to say
(07:25):
that she's been working and staying up super late until
midnight every night, and then she's.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Up as early as five am the next day.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Working on the details of what happened.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I have no idea. I don't know what she's doing there.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
That's cool, Karen, but I want Alan the one to
be up in all that.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
