00:00Exhausted and frustrated families and friends of the victims of a nightclub collapse in the Dominican Republic
00:06still await their bodies more than 53 hours after the accident occurred late on Wednesday.
00:13Authorities say the disaster which occurred early Tuesday killed 221 people and injured more than 200 others.
00:22Everyone knows that a security guard does not stay in one place.
00:25The owner of the nightclub and his spouses must be aware that he was there.

00:34Do only celebrities have mourners? Employees have mourners too.
00:38They are fathers and mothers of families as well.
00:43Dozens of families are still gathered at the site waiting for the bodies of their relatives.
00:48Some of the families expressed their dissatisfaction with the process, claiming that the authorities were slow in handing over the bodies of their relatives.
00:59Only one relative has been handed over to us.
01:02We have three deceased relatives, but they have only given us the body of one.
01:06We are currently paying for a refrigerated room.
01:09Due to their negligence, they still haven't provided us with the bodies of the others.
01:13While authorities say it is still too early to determine the cause of the roof collapse, the government has formed a technical team to investigate.
