Terrible. I remember the Kansas City Skywalk collapse in ‘81, I believe.
I do, too. What a horror. Hopefully this is not anywhere close to that
My boss was the last person that they peeled off of the floor in the Hyatt disaster.
“Terrible. I remember the Kansas City Skywalk collapse in ‘81, I believe.“
Wasn’t there some kind of harmonic convergence involved there or did it just let go?
Another smaller one in Berkeley, CA almost eleven years ago:
Berkeley balcony collapse
On June 16, 2015, shortly after midnight, five Irish J-1 visa students and one Irish-American died and seven others were injured when a balcony on which they were standing collapsed. The group was celebrating a 21st birthday party in Berkeley, California. The balcony was on the 5th floor of an eight-year-old apartment building at 2020 Kittredge Street in Berkeley, then called Library Gardens.
In 1995, the Sampoong Department Store, in South Korea collapsed, killing over 500 people. The cause there was cost cutting during construction in 1987.
Luckily, so far the Tamworth collapse, so far, has not killed anyone.
Floor collapsed at a wedding Israel about 20 years ago too. Bunch of people were killed. Remember seeing the video. Terrible.
One Kansas City Place. I represented the structural steel contractor, J&B Steel back then. Big problem.
I remember the one that happened in Israel.
