You have to admire the design for disaster. Dry wooden stands, no sprinklers, no fire extinguishers, paper stacked beneath, unmanned exits locked shut. You could hardly make a better design to kill people. The glow from the fire was so hot you couldn't stand close to it without catching on fire. If the gates were stronger and the fences keeping people off the field were much stronger, thousands would have been burned alive. Safety last! Could anything possibly matter less than professional sports? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradford_City_stadium_fire
respect to unheard voice project finally helped recognise the work of locals during the fire
