When i was a kid my uncle took me to my 1st footie match in 89 i think.... I remember it was Chelsea v Liverpool. I enjoyed it but at the end of the match all these fans tried jumping the barriers to get on the field. We were right at the front & i remember being kicked & stamped on & seeing my uncle being pushed further & further away from me. Then i remember these guys forming a barrier or a kind of human cocoon around me & protecting me. I remember looking up & seeing these guys faces in agony as they were taking all the kicks & stamping for me.... If it wasn't for them guys there's no chance my little body would've survived such a beating!... After it calmed down which for me seemed like it took forever my uncle comes out of nowhere in tears (& a bloody face) to get me. All the guys that protected me gave me hugs... My heroes!

An important reminder that crowd crushes aren't a matter of individuals or even group psychology. It's almost a matter of fluid dynamics as literally everyone in the crowd is being directed by at least five other people and their own actions direct at least ten others.

Anyone who attended football in the 80s will tell you it was only a matter of time before something like this happened there were crushes every weekend that somehow didn't cause fatalities. The fact there was so much violence that caused attendances to dwindle probably saved lots of lives.

If Liverpool fans didn't act like animals they wouldn't need a pen. Remember these same fans intentionally killed 39 people in Belgium a few months before this. However, very sad innocent kids died, they aren't to blame.

[@Peacefulpreface6323]

This is probably the most sensible comment here. I used to be a committed season ticket holder and packed it in because I could not be arsed with how fans and police behave at matches.

[@All-Outta-Bubblegum]

​​@@DJRockford83no, this is on the police 100%. Every single police officer on duty that day should be in jail for manslaughter. Yes it was coming but it's the polices duty to be prepared for that and avoid it happening. The fans take absolutely 0 blame on this.

[@theallmightycraig69]

During this time there was a big problem with masses of drunk fans showing up late without tickets. Causing crushes outside the ground so the police would let them in so fatalities would happen. It was only a matter of time that it would go wrong.

[@redman9493]

Jesus, as someone who has a phobia of huge crowds this sounds like a complete and utter nightmare. I honestly feel sorry for the poor innocent souls caught in the middle of this tragedy.

Lots of people reckon it was an insurance job too.

@darthpepe2994 not completely up to scratch with the entire of each situations but yes the Hillsborough Disaster is worse given the police cover ups. In terms of loss of life, they're both as bad as each other

[@indiekiddrugpatrol3117]

@darthpepe2994 idk I don't necessarily subscribe to the theory but what is interesting is their chairman at the time had been linked to multiple fires and insurance claims and had made millions due to owning 8 previous businesses that had suspiciously burned down.

There's a lot to like about this channel, but far and above my favourite aspect (and I have no idea if he does it intentionally- though I like to think he does) But I absolutely LOVE that he wears a different shirt during his sponsor segments. It makes it so exceedingly easy to zip by and land back exactly where you need to be. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this Dankula.

[@lalalili2982]

At my former workplace there was a yearly fire safety course. We were shown video from Hillsborough and Bradford every time.

[@Noid]

Good on Dankula for recording his sponsor videos in a different colored shirt, so it's really easy to scrub to the actual video!

[@Matisaha]

Police being inept, higher-ups being inept isn't new but, damn. Still a tragedy. Probably a painful way to go, and even if you don't die that sure as hell can't be a pleasurable experience even if you're a huge football fan. Edit: Glad the police actually realized (albeit way too slow) that people were in fear and pain and not just trying to interrupt the match. Also, really glad those spectators were trying to help the more injured spectators as they did.

[@clairepruden4974]

My uncle took his two young sons, my cousins to this match. Thankfully they were seated at the other end of the pitch, but it’s never been spoken about between us since. I cannot imagine how traumatised they were after witnessing this horror. Utterly heartbreaking for all the lost souls, those who tried to help them, and family, friends and observers.

The cops there fired tear gas into the stadium & they were crushed to death trying to flee. There was a similar incident in Indonesia a few years ago where the cops also did this into a stadium that was far too crowded.

[@c4662]

The dude with the long curly brown hair in the thumbnail desperately calling for help, with the two people below him, are probably dead from suffocation is burned into my brain. It's terrifying to see.

[@collymonster]

if i remember rightly they were sisters I think? I watched a documentary on it a few years ago, there was a guy who lost his daughters in the crush and it played that exact clip. I found out a couple of years ago that their dad ended up moving to the village I grew up in and lived a few houses down, I had no idea until my mum casually brought it up in conversation. she could have lost her younger brother that day too, my uncle was due to go to the match but for some reason was unable to. he had a very lucky escape.

[@c4662]

​@collymonster I found out the identity of the guy with long curly hair. His name is Martin Christopher Malone and he survived the incident. The woman in front of him (Marian McCabe) didn't. It's pretty evident the several photos of her not moving means she was already dead when the photos were taken. That's terrifying.

[@collymonster]

@c4662 Trevor Hicks is the man I'm thinking of, he was there with his wife and 2 daughters and both daughters died. I've just looked him up after mum told me his name, I had no idea who he was, lovely chap, i remember him from when i was a kid, he lives in Giggleswick now. He's spent his entire life campaigning for justice for the 97.

Bradford City stadium fire was pretty wild as well. A stand burned down with fans trapped inside because the exit was locked

[@tomsmith2209]

As someone from Sheffield, this will be interesting to see if he gets all the facts correct.

[@racheljames7]

From what I gathered the police who were there did try. They even requested the match be postponed but they were denied. The Liverpool fans shouldn't have surged when Beardley scored if they were already in trouble with crushing. I cant blame the police for initially thinking it was a pitch invasion. I cant say i wouldnt have made the same assumption. I'm a Geordie by the way.

The story of the Hicks family is so sad. They went to a football match as a family, mother, father and 2 daughters. But the parents left as a couple. RIP to the 97.

[@Ligerpride]

I was born in 1983 and I'm Irish. I have very little to no memory of this event but this was such a desperate tragedy, so very sad. The trauma from this must have been horrific. To be honest while there were a huge amount of factors in play here I would still consider this to be a very tragic accident. There was a great deal of police adding to the problems here but you have to consider that all this happened in a very short amount of time and they did at least attempt to delay the kickoff. The biggest disgrace about this tragedy in my opinion was the sheer lies and deflection from the police in a face saving effort after the fact. That and the police pushing the people back into the pens when it was obviously a panic and crisis was incredibly hard to forgive.

[@Don_of_the_Dad]

Wait until you hear what happens in Brazil when soccer is involved…

[@bigships]

Didn’t someone get murdered because they missed a shot or something like that

[@dannycool69]

​@bigships You might be thinking of Andres Escobar - he was Colombian and scored an own goal in the 94 World Cup that effectively eliminated his team. He was later shot and killed outside a nightclub. People like to believe it was because of the own goal and certain people losing money on bets but some people say it was just an argument and he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Colombia was rife with drugs and gangs at the time. Dank should do a doc on it.
