Answer 1

The engineering failure discussed in this section appears to be the **Hyatt Hotel, Kansas City, 1981**. This incident involved a catastrophic structural failure where a skywalk collapsed, resulting in significant loss of life and injuries. Each of the other events listed also involves notable engineering failures, but based on the typical focus on structural engineering and public safety in such discussions, the Hyatt Hotel case may be the primary example highlighted in that context.
