Can't believe that no one noticed that something was wrong. You can see from about a minute or two into the game that something was going badly wrong with the way the crowd was acting.
Football fans had been demonised so they just thought in terms of troublemakers when they saw people spill onto the field. Treated like rubbish football fans were, marshalled by police as they walked to grounds and then shoved in behind bars.
@@jamesmcleod1089 agreed. I've been going to games since November 1985. The 1980's weren't exactly safety orientated where football grounds were concerned....
It's truly shocking and horrifying how the game continues as normal while people are suffocating to death. I know nobody knew what was going on until it became horribly obvious but the fact that there is so much footage of this unfolding is truly chilling. Death was happening. It was the making of the worst disaster at a sporting event in British history.
Seems that RTE coverage for English football games was excellent! And, like BBC, very professional about the terrible things that were happening that day.
I had the chance of a ticket for this at leppings lane end. I was 14 and my mum wouldnt let me go (shes an exciled scouser living in Newcastle). RIP the 97 and all victims of football tragedies, Heysel, Ibrox, Burnden Park, Munich YNWA 😢 I often think would i have been one of the lucky ones to escape.
Only partial justice has been done. And that was after the Hillsborough independent panel report in 2012 which exonerated the Liverpool supporters of any blame concerning the day of the disaster & that The South Yorkshire Police were to blame as were Sheffield Wednesday FC who never renued the safety licence after the 81 semi final where Tottenham fans were crushed And injured. And also the verdict that overturned the deaths as accident to unlawful killing as of 2021 to 97 people (Andrew Devine died after being on life support for over 30 years in July 2021) becoming the 97th victim. But still knowbody has ever been charged and help accountable for there actions on the day Super Intendant Duckenfield. Bernard Murray. SWFC club safety officer Mackrell. The list goes on. Oh and the sanitization of Police statements on what they did on the day. Many of the normal PC's were forced to change there statements of what they did that day or it was done without there knowledge and a lot of normal Bobbies did help on that day and suffered PTSD just like the Fans. Right from the start of the story of Liverpool fans breaking down Gate C when it was Duckenfield who ordered it to be opened was the beginning of the lie. And story's of drunken tickitless fans arriving at the ground late. Also the media reaction from the Camera men turning there cameras around from photographing the game to taking pictures of dead & dying people crushed up against the perimeter fences ignoring there cries & screams for help ,watching while people's faces turned white and lips And nostrils turned blue. And also in particularly The Sun Newspapers front page headlines about Liverpool fans pocketing the dead ,and assaulting Police officers and urinating on officers trying to help .An absolutely abhorrent and downright lies to smear the fans reputation and to sway public opinions on what they called " The Truth" What the Liverpool fans ,victims & family's got was only that the deaths were unlawful killings and that they were not to blame. This as well as being the longest running legal case in British history is also the BIGGEST cover up and injustice of the highest order. Superintendent Duckenfield should have gone to prison for this as quite a few other high ranking officers should of too. Duckenfield just escaped in the Private prosecution when the jury was hung (that's a 50/50 guilty/not guilty decision made by the dury) and has again I think in 2019 got off again. Please read the Hillsborough Independent Panel Report. It's available online to the public. I am not a Liverpool fan I support Carlisle United. And was 11 years old when the Hillsborough Disaster happened. It was my first year of watching Football and at the time being so young you know it's bad but are too young to understand it. And have your childhood to live. But ever since the 20th anniversary I've taken a real interest and watched just about ever documentary ,footage available. And also read Phil Scratons book "The Truth" and read the entire Independent Panel Report. As well as the survivors story's on the Hillsborough Disaster website that are more horrific than this video and harrowing to read. Without the shear determination of Professor Phil Scraton & later culture Secretary Andy Burnham (On the 20th anniversary) when Liverpool fans erupted into "Justice For tge 96" I doubt we would have had the Hillsborough Independent Panel..so huge respect to both men who fraught for the victims & family's justice. A lot of comments on this video like others are bigated , ignorant or darn right offensive. So before posting your comments do some proper research. And post something of value out of respect for the 97 dead. The victims family's who have fought tirelessly for justice. And those people who have died because of suicide or early deaths due to stress as there are many attributed to the worst sporting disaster in the UK and the BIGGEST misscarage of justice or injustice not only in England but in the entire world in sporting terms. It has nothing realy to do with Football anymore as times have changed and Hillsborough legacy is that we got safe all seated stadiums for the top two Leagues in English Football. But its about human lives ,normal , honest & hard working people who have loved ,lost ,suffered and fought tirelessly for JUSTICE For the 97.
@@kevinprior3549 Thanks for the info. I recall my dad saying that he saw what was happening on the TV, and I was wondering about how exactly he saw it.
You're absolutely correct that it wouldn't have happened if it had been all seater (and without perimeter fences). That's why UK stadiums are all seater without perimeter fences now.
Can you imagine being slowly suffocated while a crowd of thousands cheers for their football team?
I remember watching it live on rte at the time and it felt so eerie , if you listen very careful around 2:15 you can clearly hear a girl screaming.

@@argieav it wasn't just police that were rong, the sun was aswell
lol
Different times pal.. Nowadays things are more clearer. This wasn’t the case back in those days
@@jamesmcleod1089 agreed. I've been going to games since November 1985. The 1980's weren't exactly safety orientated where football grounds were concerned....
The Police fucked up big time and covered it up. Blamed the fans. Absolutely scandalous and disgusting.
The ITN news clip is evidence of how quickly the police started lying to the media about ticketless fans… 😡

It’s eerie to watch this game knowing people are dying!
You can even hear screaming from the Leppings Lane end. Just total chaos and an absolute horrific day.

I often think would i have been one of the lucky ones to escape.
Anyone notice how densely packed the two pens are directly behind the goal at 7:29 ? Its a miracle that far more weren't killed. Utterly shocking.
❤😢😮 i still remember that tragic day
3:57 OMG 😢
there used to be a much longer video of this footage which went on for about another 20 mins. what has happened to it ?
There was. Dunno where it went. Was looking for it but found this version
Had Beardsley scored instead of hitting the bar…..Does not bear thinking about…
Exactly 😨🥶

drunken liverpool fans, NEVER
0:12 Ball is on the centre circle. 0:14 Now the ball has gone???
Still there, just blended into the halfway line and hard to see with the blurry video.
5:48 How does the commentator know that the Police were going to open the gates to prevent a crush?
He’s referring to gates in the fence leading to the pitch. He’s assuming that’s how so many have gotten onto the pitch.
Was the match shown live on the BBC?
I don't think it was. The 1st live FA Cup semi-final shown on British TV was Liverpool v Palace in 1990 to the best of knowledge.
Wasn't live on BBC but the moment Grandstand heard that there was problems they showed the developments live.
@@kevinprior3549 Thanks for the info. I recall my dad saying that he saw what was happening on the TV, and I was wondering about how exactly he saw it.
7:10 Those geezers approaching Liverpool's No.4 seem like undercover old bill? Nothing about them fits right as being a real football supporter?
All blokes were like that back then. They weren't in awe of players. They're just telling them what's what.
conspiracy looney alert
@@artful1967the real looneys are those so naive to think authorities don’t conspire
I was only 9 years old i was born in the 5/1/1980
I believe this wouldn't have happened if they only had seating, the areas at the front were standing only and thats what made it so deadly
you can believe in the tooth fairy. It doesn't make it real
You're absolutely correct that it wouldn't have happened if it had been all seater (and without perimeter fences). That's why UK stadiums are all seater without perimeter fences now.
Pause at 0:47 Brian Clough emerges out of the tunnel to be greeted by an empty grandstand???
What are you getting at fella?
That's RTE Showing This
10 videos to see a scene of a second from the game and in this video they had to go in 1000 people to show us a plan for the first time pfff
This is real Karma. Do you remember the Heysel murders? Jedem das Seine, Leute.
You evil person. Think about your words you muppet
You are a disgusting, vile piece of crap.
