About this listen

Ava Grey examines the 1981 Hyatt Regency walkway collapse that killed 114 people, revealing how a fabrication change—switching from one continuous hanger rod to two separate rods—doubled structural load without calculations. This devastating failure exposes how assumptions, blind spots, and absent verification created America's deadliest structural engineering disaster from an easily preventable error.
