It's been 40 years ago today since the Hyatt Regency walkway collapse
RIP to anyone who lost their life on that awful day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_...lkway_collapse


On July 17, 1981, the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City, Missouri suffered the structural collapse of two overhead walkways. Loaded with partygoers, the concrete and glass platforms cascaded down, crashing onto a tea dance in the lobby, killing 114 and injuring 216. Kansas City society was afflicted for years, with billions of dollars of insurance claims, legal investigations, city government reforms, and Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalism by The Kansas City Star.

As this was during the 1981 baseball strike, then-Royals pitcher Rich Gale was working as a bartender at the Hyatt that night and helped rescue people.

Wow. Interesting. Do MLB players even do part time jobs anymore?

RIP to all those who died that day….

I had heard at the time that George Brett was there. Coincidentally, just read through the wiki the other day when someone linked it in a discussion about the FL building. What a humanitarion, though rough time for KC. It tore that city apart.

I saw a documentary on this recently and the number of people who ended up with their feet next to their heads was horrifying. How some of those people survived is astonishing and the screw-up that caused it was something they should have seen coming a mile away. The engineers who changed the design were big time stupid.

I would like to see the documentary. I imagine the screwup was something to do with trying to save money??

My mother was a nurse who was sent there along with other medical personnel to do what they could.

She was never the same person after that...

My cousin was an EMT there. I think it changed him a little as well.

My mom was the operating room supervisor at Trinity Lutheran Hospital at 31st and Main. They called her at home to rush downtown. She was on the triage team as they brought people in. We didn’t see her for three days. It changed her too, and she has worked at the VA during the Korean War.

My mom was down there that night. We had a babysitter and she let us stay up late. It was the top story on the news for a week. There were no cell-phones then and no way of knowing if she had been killed. It was awful. She finally made it home late in the morning and was so shaken she could not talk about it. The only thing she ever said about it was: "It was the most terrible thing I have ever seen."


Many years later I asked her about it. She told me that, she and her date were standing on those sections that failed part of the night and had walked beneath them only a few minutes before the collapse. The sounds of the crash and then all the screams were deafening. Complete chaos. It really affected her for many years afterward.

Horrible. What a horrible thing for that engineer guy to live with, even though he wasn’t at fault.
