This might be the first story on FH where the factory managers/owners are not to blame. The foreman and the workers tried to chase the crowd off, even going so far as to threaten them; when that didn't work, they turned to the authorities for help but were rebuffed. And when disaster struck, they shut the furnace off and began trying to rescue everyone.

Mostly did it to themselves, yes. But the response from the police when the factory workers called in their concern was absurd. Not my job - take it up with the guy who is unreachable. Still a problem today, you know. In my town, if you call the non-emergency police line on the weekend, you’ll be forwarded to the 911 center who will yell at you for calling about a non-emergency (like a large stray dog in the yard and the dog catcher unavailable) and refuse to do anything. They’ll tell you call the non-emergency line. Which will once again redirect you back to them.

Part of that's just luck I'm sure, but another factor is that we never really had standing terraces in the US. Most of our stadiums were all-seater even back in those days (well, often bench seats, but seats). So it was easier to both separate and keep track of people which meant fewer crowd crushes. Also stadium violence in the US, while it exists (look up Bryan Stow), it is not on the scale of other parts of the world. For example, home and visiting fans are not separated. You just buy a ticket and walk in - you are allowed to support whichever team you want.

I am a huge fan of fascinating horror and have been a subscriber for the last few years and I love to listen to them! That being said, there are a couple of the stories, this being one of them, that completely leaves me seething! "The deceased had no business being up there." What the hell kind of attitude is that? It wouldn't surprise me to find out a majority of the children who died falling through that roof actually worked in those factories and having died the way they did probably saved them from an agonizing death in the future from some sort of debilitating industrial cancer. I mean truly, nothing was done as a result of this disaster. Nothing positive happened. No charitable funds opened up in any victim's name, no extra safety precautions or a little warning sign or two in the right place was introduced, hell, they didn't even stop the game! It was all for nothing. Society learned nothing. And that, my friends, is how you know a great storyteller! They make you emotional, no matter what that emotion is. Well done, another great video! Bravo!

This one's a difficult one to hear about as a safety professional- the number one rule of safety is to never blame the victims. Obviously, this one challenges that ironclad rule. The only solutions I can think of to prevent this from happening would be to increase capacity of the stadium or increase security around the glassworks plant, but neither of these are easy solutions and the deficiencies in both were not at all to blame.

I have to say I agree with the court. If I have a swimming pool with a high fence around it, signs posted saying keep out, and a literal watchman and other people around saying DON'T, and you manage to drown in my pool despite that - what was I supposed to do? I understand attractive nuisances, but who else's fault was it? The organizers for the event being hugely popular? This didn't happen because of an overcrowded stadium, or because ticket purchasers were turned away for lack of room. The factory? They had a fence and literally a watchman watching and attempting to keep people out. Whoever built it? Well, the roof was perfectly fine to hold its own weight. Was it reasonable to prepare for 400 people to trespass and go sit on it? And when they realized IT FRIGGING *FELT* UNSAFE, they joked about it. They didn't get off. It's messed up that the police department said "talk to the guy there," but they did HAVE a guy there. He just wasn't available. Maybe they thought he was. Maybe they thought the issue was purely trespassing and not "THEY'RE GOING TO CAVE THE ROOF IN." When children fall five stories onto an operating furnace, it does *feel* like someone should pay. But the reality is that the victims knowingly and deliberately avoided the reasonable safeguards in place.

I did too and didn’t know about it either. It’s weird the things you don’t know about places you’ve lived in for a while and think you’re familiar with. Two off hand that I had never heard of. San Francisco had an outbreak of plague starting around 1901. It lasted for a few years then after they thought it was over the 1906 earthquake struck and another outbreak occurred in 1907 as rebuilding was going on. The other is the St. Francis dam collapse in 1928. This dam was north of Los Angeles. I’ve lived in the L.A. area for years and only heard about it a few years ago. Yet the path of the resulting flood I’ve driven through many times.

This structure was a giant glass furnace. As people fell onto it u could hear popping sounds followed by primal screams of the people who landed on it. The inside temperature of this structure burned hotter than the temperature of lava & the popping was the sound of peoples bodies immediately lighting on fire.”

I saw another video on this and it was horrific. One kid fell but landed on a wooden beam about 10 feet down and watched his friend immediately ignite on fire and die on the oven(like many did). The kid was on the beam but it was really really high off the ground. His dad heard about the disaster and went there to help wherever needed and to his horror witnessed his kid on the beam right when it broke under the kids weight and he fell onto the oven where he burst into flames and died. Very sad sad tragic day.

History. In the early days of football, kicking was emphasized. In 1883, the scoring system was devised with field goals counting for five points, and touchdowns and conversions worth four points. In 1897, the touchdown was raised to five points while the conversion was lowered to one point.

As I started watching, I thought, "Oh, the roof is going to collapse." Then you mentioned the furnace, and I thought, "Oh, no, are some of the people going to fall into the furnace?" When the police were contacted, they should have sent officers to the scene rather than telling them to go to the stadium policeman. There should at least be a memorial plaque this tragic accident.

They were told not to get up there. Not only should they get no compensation, they should compensate for the damage they caused to the property.
