It happened at a time when people didn't really talk about things as It was the older generations way of dealing with grief was to do things with respect and privacy for the families of the loved ones and in all honesty really never knew how to then as children we just knew and took our lead from the older people not to say anything as It was probably out of hurt and respect 🇬🇧🥁🇬🇧but It never left us really as this we are all affected by this loss and wouldn't be right to forget the families and friends of the people who lost loved ones and those who are longer with us 66 lost souls and half of them under 20 years old the youngest being 9 years old I believe God bless them RIP ❤️🙏.

Frightening.

[@davelordy]

The Notting Hill Carnival is a crush disaster waiting to happen, I stopped going years ago, like you say being crushed in a crowd is a nightmare, last time I went it took around 2 hours to move 25 metres, every time me and my girlfriend would move a couple of metres or so (after a lot of effort) we'd find ourselves moved 3 metres in some other direction, we were just trying to get to the nearest side street to get out of the crush, basically we were just carried around - like everyone else - by the mass of people, these surges weren't limited to just one street or area, there were several places where you'd find yourself with no way out, blocked in all directions . . . throw in a little violence and a few people fainting on a blazing hot day and really was a nightmare . . . over the years it just got worse, and from what people tell me nothing has really changed - apparently the 2016 carnival _twice(!)_ came very close to a Hillsborough crush . . . it really is a disaster waiting to happen, I really won't be surprised to read a headline in the next few years, something to the effect of "72 killed in carnival crush" : (

[@jamesaitchison9478]

What a heartfelt documentary on the tragic loss of 66 people who sadly lost their lives on the 2nd of January 1971 at Ibrox on stairway 13. My Father was involved in the crush on stairway 13 that day, though he was fortunate to survive that tragedy but developed a nervous disorder due to the experience he went through. He used to leave 1 minute before the end of a match to avoid crowds and catch the subway home. He told me the events of what happened that day when i was a lad... "We were so tightly packed together walking down the stairway when we heard an almighty roar from the Stadium, people in front of us were trying to find out what the score was as others continued piling down, my feet were completely lifted off the ground and i was pushed back up the stairway while others were on their way down. I thought it was the end for me." My Gran and Aunt were listening to the events unfold on the radio and knew that my Dad was at the game. They were so distraught not knowing what had happened, or if my Dad involved in the incident or not. Hours later after my Dad was released from hospital he returned home to find my Gran and Aunt in shock and teary eyed, but ultimately relieved to see him alive. My Father was never the same after that day, and he always avoided crowds till the end of his days. James Duncan Aitchison 16/06/1946 - 14/02/2003 Ibrox Disastor Survivor. In memory of those who who lost their lives on Stairway 13 on the 2nd of January 1971. Always remembered, never forgotten. 🔴⚪🔵

Am from grimsby and whenever we went to a grimsby game or to ibrox with my dad we used to wait at the end until all the crowd dispersed so we dont create a disaster its scary stuff

[@ernestmccreight6188]

Ian, I was at the game with my friend Eddie Barr. I now live in Bermuda where I have lived since 1st March 1971. But at the game we were on the terracing just below stairway 13. When jimmy Johnstone scored what we all thought was the winner my pal Eddie turned to me and said lets go. I said just hand on a bit and I will finish off this can of lager. So in that minute we go up the park and score an equalising gop oal and we start celebrating for another few minutes before making our way to exit 13. At the top there is a huge crush of people with men saying "Stay back, stay back". We both climbed the wooden fence adjacent to the exit and scrambled down the grass bank. Scrambling down the bank I saw a young boy/youth lying there, is face was blue and deathly. All these years I have wondered if that youth/boy was alive or dead. I hope Ian it was you.

[@neilhamilton3004]

I was there and knew something had happened but we had to get back to the Cowie supporters bus or be left in Glasgow. When we got back to Bannockburn lots of parents were there and that’s when we found out how bad it was. By some miracle no one on our bus was injured but one guy Derek Rolston was missing but he just had missed the bus.

I'm a Forest fan I was at Hillsborough on that awful day us Forest fans were safe we were on the other side but it soon became obvious to us that the Liverpool guys were in serious trouble so I salute the 96 departed Of course I'd heard of the Ibrox tragedy I was only 3 in 71 but I've seen people talk about it and read about it so the same goes rest in peace all of you and we will all be together again one day from David Andrews

This documentary really brings home how sad this was. I only heard of this before, I was born in 1984, once I stopped watching wrestling and Rangers were always the club I was going to follow from '94 onwards I would never for the life of me have understood to the same extent as those who lived then. This documentary is a touching tribute and I had no idea that the stadium we proudly have today is a symbol of that and makes me look at Ibrox in a different light now. I understood it was a tragic event, very sad. Fantastic documentary, cannot wait to tour the new museum that'll get built.

[@ginadick5373]

My heart goes out to each and everyone who lost families so so sad and also the fans that passed away. My brother always went to 13 to go home but looked over to c something was going on. Sat to say lost him now hearts are still broken.xxxx love.gina from Scotland. My brother was only 37yrs old A detective sergeant. Still miss him and also so so sad for ibrox and Hillsbough love to all x.

[@Libertarianach_na_h-Alba]

@@ginadick5373 Yeah, it's a very sad tragic event in our history, I certainly understood it was bad, but there's something a lot more touching about this documentary because you're actually getting information of the event with bodies being taken into Ibrox laid out where they could, the silence as well from people going back on the train also illustrates this, folk wouldn't know what to say and getting to hear how on their way home they'd then hear the bodies count up, first 8 and then finally 66. These little details I knew nothing about and I wouldn't be surprised if the new museum will be packed with this sort of stuff which I cannot wait to see because there'll be a lot of stuff I won't know before my time that gives the bigger story of this amazing club. Sorry to hear about that regarding your brother, indeed, it's a heartbreaking thing that, I think now when I look at the stadium it's more than just some sort of upgrade, it's actually a tribute, a meaning, that has much of a story behind it. God bless all of them and your brother. xx

[@williambrander2714]

The tragic thing is that it happened a few years earlier when Jim Baxter scored a last minute equaliser the crowd at the bottom stopped and it caused havoc. I came down that stairway my feet no where near the ground, I remember adults shouting at us to keep our arms up, that was the last time I used that exit. never forgotten RIP 66

[@67Pepper]

A horrible day in Rangers history, never forgotten, and hopefully never repeated. The agony for those lost is unimaginable. I've experienced the helplessness of being in a similar situation at Hampden park terracing in the 1969 Scottish cup Final, although no fatalities because we were forced to rush out on to the track to stop being crushed. Thank God they got rid of terracings at football grounds.

Anyone who’s ever been at a match, game, concert, gig, event, …….even being in a huge crowd side by side with others can be frightening even when it gets a little out of hand. I remember being at a Megadeth gig, 100s on the floor, as soon as the gig started everyone started to surge forward, myself being near the front. Some young girl about 5ft nothing fell and was being stood on. Thankfully me and a few others got her up, but even in that moment, the utter fear in that girls eyes, and the fear on my own mind was terrible. I can’t even imagine being in that situation, but in the magnitude of Ibrox or Hillsborough, the sheer terror of these people being crushed like that. All I can say is I hope it was quick. Rest well to all the souls who lost their lives that day and any other. X
