View Full Version : Hyatt 25th Anniversary
Yesterday, July 20, 2006 was the anniversary of the Hyatt party incident. On that day in 1981 there was a party at the Hyatt hotel, in downtown Kansas City, guests went up on the sky walk which had been poorly constructed. The sky walk collapsed injuring and killing many. There were many hams that showed up to help out. They were put to work. Many people thanked those amatuers for their help, I believe they deserve another thanks.
73's and Thanks again.

I remember it well. I was a firefighter/paramedic with the Liberty missouri Fire Dept. That was a long night. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Wow is it 25 years already? I remember that well. They closed the ones that were built here. Some on inspection were on the verge of falling.
