On the night of July 17th, 1981, around 2,000 people were having a blast at a dance party at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kansas City, Missouri, totally unaware that their lives were about to change forever.
According to survivors, the most terrifying moment of this nightmare experience was the few seconds after two atrium skywalks fell on the crowd.
