THE 1981 HYATT REGENCY WALKWAY COLLAPSE: WHO IS TO BLAME?

Who’s to blame for the 1981 Hyatt Regency Walkway Collapse?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes fellow podcaster Mangesh Hattikudur, host of Part-Time Genius, to discuss the haunting collapse of multiple walkways inside a Hyatt Regency in Kansas City, Missouri circa 1981. Were 3 indoor walkways an architectural triumph or just architectural hubris? Could a mid-construction engineer change of the guard be to blame? Or maybe a good old fashion communication failure was to blame. Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.

LIVE SHOW on May 2nd at The Elysian Theater in Los Angeles. Don’t miss the fun. Grab your tix HERE!
