Hyatt+Walkway+(2)

I can work with Jody on the essay.

I found a couple articles that should be helpful, [] That's the first one, it's got a lot of useful information on the collapse and what lead the collapse to happen. It's a little lengthy but I think it will help. [] Okay, this source is an article called the Hyatt Horror, it basically describes what happened during the collapse, why it happened, the impact it had, the engineers, the investigation and how it was handled legally. [] This is a small clip from a newspaper, it has a couple other disasters like this mentioned and I think that can I help us with comparing and contrasting this event to others. [] This article talks about the engineering of the walkways and the problems the engineers faced while making them. I'll share more soon. - Sierra Schmitt

This web page talks about what all happen and the engineering aspect of it [] -Ryan

[] This is really useful website about the engineering Also, Cassie I have some aftermath pictures and will be adding a link to a doc I wrote with some powerpoint info. Photographs taken by Dr. Lee Lowery, Jr., P.E., shortly after the collapse Let me know if you need more info. I just thought it'd be nice to be able to have it organized. If you could give me the link to the powerpoint that'd be great! Thanks! - Sierra

Here are some pictures regarding blueprints and the structure.
