Despite the nightclub's capacity to hold between 700 to 1,000 people, officials have not disclosed the exact number of attendees present at the time of the collapse. A total of 189 people were rescued, but the lack of transparency regarding ticket sales has created confusion. The nightclub, popular for its Monday night events, has seen the loss of many notable figures, including a governor and ex- athletes. Rescuers had to ultimately cease search operations, officially marking the shift to recovery, while reiterating their commitment to not abandon any victims.
