Summary
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.
