The Disaster programs look at how and why major disasters happen, and what can be learned from them. This program looks at the disaster which occurred in Kansas City, July 1981, where 2000 people at the recently opened Hyatt Regency hotel were involved when one of the walkways collapsed onto the catwalk below, then crashed to the floor beneath where a tea dance was in progress. More than one hundred people were killed, and hundreds were injured and mutilated. This program reveals a catalogue of horrific human error, architectural flaws and tragic occurances that culminated in one of the worst accidential structural failures in American history.
