The Air Show that provided spectacular aerobatics and stunts for thousands of people along the Santo Domingo waterfront also resulted in a hangover in the shape of traffic jams on the day after. Diario Libre says that Monday's traffic chaos was caused by the dismantling of the grandstands and platforms used for the public and for television and movie equipment all along George Washington Avenue (the Malecon).
