I was working in the lobby of the Hyatt during it’s construction, when an architect exclaimed that the walkways had to look like they were floating! The boxed beam at that point were two channels with their backs against the rods with a one inch plate below. He instructed the foreman, Duane, to remove them, turn them around, weld the lips together and no, do not put the plate back on. That architect later committed suicide, most likely because of his guilt of his actions. I talked to the saxophone player, from the second floor walkway, while they were warming up to play that evening. I’ve worked in and around that building for 40+ years. The third and fourth skywalks were replaced with an elevator on the south end of the lobby.

I remember walking on this walkway it really seemed to bounce as you walked on it So , I wasn’t surprised when I heard about it collapsing

I remember watching the national news coverage of the sky walk collapse. They broke into the regular tv programming when it happened. I remember that one of the reasons for the collapse was the people dancing on the sky walks. It's one thing to build something that can hold up to people walking across it. It's far different to build something that can hold up to the rhythmic stresses from marching or dancing. This is apparently so well known that the military always breaks cadence when crossing bridges.

Hyatt Hotel disaster: LOTS of failure information left out. Both Architects and engineers responsible as well as miscellaneous iron and other installation contractors all had a serious hand in creating this failure. Plus management allowed an unlimited number of dancing adults that far exceeded the design criteria on the walkways at the time. I was involved with the engineering company that assisted in analyzing this failure however these comments are only my humble personal opinion. I noticed that the city fathers are so concerned with honoring the fatalities that they are unable to even mow or pull the weeds out around their memorial. That is shameful.

I was observing a remodel of the skyboxes at a university stadium. At one point the contractor was to cut out a three inch diameter round steel rod that went floor to ceiling. Curious, I reviewed the original drawings and discovered that the box level was hung from structure above. That work was stopped and a new design was quickly created.

not only was something welded when it was sopposed to be solid... its also not steel, but iron... and not even forged or hardened.

I'm surprised the building in the UK only cost 60 million pounds. 25 years ago they built a high school in my town for $120 million and I remember our property taxes quadrupled to cover the cost.

My Grandmother survived the Kansas City, Missouri Hyatt Regency sky walk crash.

She's a lucky woman, several people who survived the collapse almost drowned when broken water pipes started filling up the floor and trapped people couldn't get above the water

As time passes we will lose the survivors of disasters. And we should never forget the people related to those people who survived these disasters for keeping the memories in our minds. Thank you for sharing

😓 @pimlican any documents available? that wasnt steel... and those beams never should have been split thats not how they are made.

If you pay for youtube you will have no ads, its worth it. Like 10 bucks a month. Been a subscriber for 3 yrs now. No ads, no commercials

When I see an ad I post it on true Social Media and proceed to slam that company. Ads are the reason we do not watch TV and will buy nothing advertised on here.

At least the UK building was demolished prior to opening it and it collapsing on hundreds of people. If this had been a corporate/public building hey probably would have built it anyway and just dealt with the repercussions

As a retired Engineer everyone I know said the Skywalks would not hold. But they did it anyway. We chalk it up to Democrats making the wrong decision again.
