I was 15 and living in Topeka at the time when it happened:

This is what happens when bad design is used to save money and and time. The cost was 114 people.

I had moved to Houston the previous year but remember this tragedy well. Didn't know today was the anniversary though. Thanks for the reminder Sam.
