The Legacy of the Hyatt Skywalks
Hallmark and related companies paid out approximately $140 million to victims of the Skywalks' collapse. The company was cleared of any criminal charges in December 1983, when a grand jury agreed that there was insufficient evidence to charge anyone. On February 3, 1984, Jack Gillum and Dan Duncan were stripped of their license to practice engineering in Missouri. Today, a memorial for those lost in the tragedy stands in Hospital Hill Park near the Hotel and Crown Center.
