One of the least-remembered recent national tragedies: 30 years ago today.
The Hyatt Regency disaster is "forever part of Kansas City's story."
Thirty years after the Hyatt skywalks disaster, a reminder to never forget

Thirty years after the Hyatt skywalks disaster, a reminder to never forget
Huge article at Kansas City Star link above.Thirty years ago today the music stopped when the skywalks in the elegant Hyatt Regency hotel lobby suddenly crashed down on a crowd of people enjoying big-band tunes and a night out.
The 114 people killed in the disaster will never age. The injured, the victims loved ones and the rescuers, however, are three decades older.
Over that long a span, anger and grief can recede, but they can also harden into a resolve to make sure that the calamity is never forgotten.
