In 1981 the sudden collapse of two skywalks in Kansas City's Hyatt hotel killed 114 people and injured another 200. There never was a public trial, nor a full airing of everything that went wrong. Richard Serrano shared a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the disaster; now he returns to the tragedy to learn all that went wrong.
