Quick math:
~8,000 needed to pass through 7 gates in 1 hr
They expected about 20 people to pass through each gate every minute.
ThatGuy Man thats one every 3 seconds
Dats quick mafs
James Rocket they would struggle these days with new technology game should have been delayed the whole thing was inadequate 10,000 fans through 6 turnstiles like what
When scum turn up without tickets and try to force their way in you should expect consequences, a lot of the trash who caused this will have survived due to being at the rear, I guess they'll have to live with that knowledge.
@@BIGNOIDS, but then the question, why didn't they redirect the fans to the other pens after pens 3 and 4 had filled to capacity? You have to agree those in charge of crowd control were grossly negligent in this regard. The disaster happened because pens 3 and 4 had more people than it should have had.
How can they expect 10000 people to get into 4 gates and all of them to fall in order and do as they're told? Jesus Christ, the security of this stadium is terrible. I'd love for standing terraces to come back to English football, but these old terraces from the 80s were bound to cause a disaster sooner or later.
Elliota if you feel you need justice their should be dozens up for trial. Unfortunately there’s one sitting duck who’s been screwed. Feel sorry for him
@@dalemcandrew3616 egh the old scapegoat move.
@Daniel being drunk wasn't the issue.
@Daniel what a ridiculous assertion.
Bad safety planning and horrendously bad crowd management led to those deaths. However, let's not pretend alcohol + football hysteria played no part. Everyone knows fans will have a few beers, and everyone knows how uncontrollably excited fans get. Those at the back desperate to get a view of the pitch were oblivious to the consequences. They were not to blame though.
You could hear fans shouting 'let us out' 2:56
Stephen _ Holy shit yeah
i dont hear it
Stephen _ I can’t.
Danielle Dewitt ya I don’t think the fans would start chanting.. if they can’t breath they would just be consuntrated on getting out. I dont hear anything all I hear is yelling and shouting
Ivan Cutura That’s all I hear too. I mean yes I’m hearing impaired but my left ear is quite good.
Dear god, as with most “accidents” and disasters, the crowd is blamed, even though this event occurred due to gross negligence of the security and owners
I can say the same for Astroworld.
Gross negligence of chief inspector David Duckenfield #1
96th like 😓
I think that people should be smart enough to understand when a situation can be dangerous for themselves, surely the security and owners in this case haven't taken all the right precautions, but I don't feel like giving them 100% of the blame.
This is the first incident that the security was prosecuted for there gross negligence that I have heard about
@Anthony O'Neal yeah, but he isn't wrong though. I think we all should judge whether or not somewhere is too crowded, if either police, or fans were smarter, there wouldn't be 96 people dead, so its not 100% at crowd controls fault.
Who’s here after Travis Scott’s festival
I can definitely say I am. Hillsborough kept popping up and I was unaware of what happened smh my heart goes out to the people who died at the concert, their families, and to the ones impacted from this event as well
stvrrynight RIP
I am. It just really reminded me of it and it’s so devastating
I just learned about this tragedy from a comment made under a Love Parade disaster video that I also learned about in a comment about Travis concert
yeah
I just don’t understand why they tried to fit 10000 people into 4 stands
Sheer incompetence
Those 4 stands could fit 50,000

Why would they not just delay the match
JACKABOY_007 GAMING
That question has been asked a lot.
They lose a lot of money because of that. More time for adverts on TV means the price to advertise drops. There's various other factors like paying staff more etc. They don't want to pay that and so don't delay majority of matches.
beastkay byt
It wasn't televised
No semi finals were at the time
That all came later in the 90s
Plus if there was an noted threat to life it would be delayed even now
In 89 the final was televised but it was rare to get a league or cup game
This happened pre sky
Because they’re British
I hate too imagine how crushed it was in those pens. I can think of it being very compact, but then I realise that it was even more tight than that. I can't even imagine what it's like to be so crushed up against other people that you literally can't breath or even move.
Angus Jones its insane i still have flashbacks from a experience i had at the bdo in sydney in 2001 . I cant really put into words how terrifying it is , the heat the way u cant move and the crowd is like one whole entity and the fear .i will never forget it.
Apparently it was reported that ribs were sticking out of bodies, so it was far worse than I thought. The pressure preventing you being able to inhale air, and also oxygen being in little supply by such a concentration of people. Add in the sheer pressure causing internal damage to their bodies. How in hell did they not see this as a potential disaster in this stadium is mind-boggling.
@AmarNathan one man said he noticed he could not move his arms which had never happened before. Later he had no control over his movements, he was just carried forward by the surge, his feet couldn't touch the floor.
@@DaveThompsonfairlife4all I don't know about that, one man who survived though had cracked ribs, what is incredible is the fact that the barriers between the terrace steps actually collapsed under the weight and pressure of the surge. Imagine the force required to bend and then snap metal barriers. Without those barriers the full force of the crowd was applied onto the front of it.
I experienced it once. The experience was just terrifying. I was unable to move, unable to breath and felt helpless. It was hot and confusing. I collapsed.
Think of the experience as someone put a plastic bag over your head, your hands tight behind your back and you are stuck inside a trunk/box small enough to just fit with no room left to move even a little bit. And, the trunk/box is placed near a fire.
On top of that I did cry for help but no one heard me screaming. It was too loud. You can only scream as long as you can breath. The last few breaths feels like you are trying to breath under water.
Since that day I am claustrophobic. And, I am scared of stampedes too. I simply avoid crowds now.
Kenny dalglish went all 96 victims funerals. Proper man
Did he go to the graves of the 39 juventus fans murdered by kopite cowards? No he didn't
williambeck1574,
No Juventus fans were murdered. Not even one was stabbed, beaten, kicked or shot to death. All deaths were a result of being crushed either by a collapsed wall or in a stampede. There were no murders at Heysel.
@@lyndoncmp5751come on mate Liverpool fans were rushing the Juve fans causing the crush and collapse of the wall
The 10 year old that died was called Jon Gilhooley and he was Steven Gerard’s cousin Steven was told he wasn’t allowed in the stadium .
Yup true. Jon Gilhooley only managed to get a last minute ticket after his uncle managed to get it from someone, according to what I have heard.
R.I.P To All The Fans That Died
You as an Everton fan has earned my respect at least you understand the horrible nature of that day unlike the United fans who are heartless saying that was the best day ever that is disgusting and unacceptable to say
Evan rules as a united fan, the only time when I’ve heard hilsborough chants, is when you sing Munich, and that is the only time I can excuse it. Two tragedies struck two great clubs and it’s horrible to hear both songs but I guess it happens. It’s worse when both fans sing it unnecessarily and disrespectfully, like days of anniversaries etc
ddd mmm don’t say that, i’ma united fan n even i know that’s just low
ddd mmm. Come on man you can’t say that
Evan rules it’s sad that we live in a world where you respect someone for not being a dickhead about 96 people dying at a football match just because they support a rival club
When you're in a crush, you have literally no control over which way your body goes.
Who’s here after the Travis Scott Astroworld Disaster?

@Tash Warden are they scarred going to other concerts/games?

There should be consequences for Politicians and for the police written
into Law, whenever they deliberately lie to the Public! Or nothing will
ever change for the good.
David Dukenfield and a few fellow officers overseeing the game are found guilty.
They do exist taxipandy. There's an offence called 'misprison of office' in which a sworn officer of the crown (MP's and Police fall into this as they both swear the oath of alleigance when taking office) are liable to prosecution if they knowingly 'give false report' or abuse their power. Even an MP inside Parliament is subject to that law despite being immune to many others. Add in that they signed and gave false statements to the coroner and other courts and they're potentially guilty of perjury at the very least. Conspiracy to pervert/obstruct the course of justice are also potential charges and of course the police commander on the day could possibly be charged with negligent manslaughter as well.
The point is though the authorities and police are kind to like fellow police and ambulance workers but then treat everyone else much less equal than they treated the police
It won't ever change for the good

3:07 wow look at how packed those sections are compared to the rest of the stadium
This is one of the most horrific things I’ve ever heard about in my life. People squashed in so tightly that they were unable to expand their lungs to breath. My heart truly goes out to the families of the 97 - arguably more - people who lost their lives to this horrific and entirely preventable tragedy.

As an OWLS fan all I can say is God bless all the families and RIP to all their lost loved ones. I hope that they can reach closure and move on with their lives.
This is a perfect example of poor police management
Nb police played a part in it, but it’s by no means their fault. The stadium and owner shouldn’t be selling more tickets than they have room
Sky Jones they did have a lot of room in the other parts of the entire spectators space it’s just too many people went to one place
Wait so what happened was because so many people flooded one area it build up so much pressure and started to crush and suffocate people?
Yes, must be an awful way to die. So sad. May their souls rest in peace.
My ground..the ground i used to go to every other week back in the 90s...i even used to sometimes sit on the leppings lane because it was cheaper...and it did feel unsettling walking through that gangway tunnel...you do think of what happened and the victims...you can't help it ..may they r.i.p
Rest in peace to everyone who died. Truly awful event. May your souls be at rest.♥️
When you walk through a storm

Astro world is a repeat of this and should not of been able to let history repeat itself
Why were there only 2 ambulances on the pitch in the disaster? The number of ambulances on the pitch should have been either 30 or 40. Also, why didn't the fire brigade attend?
It must be horrifying feeling like you can't breathe, being crushed, hearing people scream and panic, seeing somebody near you being trampled to death.
The drunk ticketless fans caused all of the deaths.
It is astonishing that fans weren’t turned away. The capacity of the stadium must have been exceeded. And sending fans into two areas, a disaster waiting to happen. The police are at fault it is clear. Good lord it must have been frightening beyond all comprehension of what the crush must have been like. Very sad and could well have been avoided.
The capacity for the stadium wasn’t actually exceeded. The police simply failed to direct fans away from full pens. It’s unbelievable how incompetent Duckenfield is.
It wasn’t helped by some Liverpool fans turning up without tickets trying to gain entry
@@sombodyoncetoldmetheworldis that myth has been debunked, though there were pockets of fans without tickets, it was not the cause of the tragedy.
"Lord Justice Taylor, in his 1990 report into the disaster, concluded fans were reasonable to arrive between 14.30 and 14.40 as match tickets only requested people be in their places "15 minutes before the game". He was also satisfied that the large concentration of fans who gathered Leppings Lane at 14.40 to 14.50 "did not arrive as a result of any concerted plan".
He concluded that police had "failed" to prepare for controlling the arrival of a large number of fans in a short period. Both the club and police "should have realised the turnstile area could not easily cope with the large numbers demanded of it" unless they arrived steadily over a lengthy period.
He accepted there were "small groups without tickets" looking to "exploit any chance of getting into the ground". But the main problem was simply one of "large numbers packed into the small area outside the turnstiles". He stated categorically that "fans' behaviour played no part in the disaster".
The Hillsborough Independent Panel (HIP) report concluded crowd congestion outside the stadium was "not caused by fans arriving late" for the kick-off. The turnstiles, it said, were "inadequate to process the crowd safely" and the rate of entry insufficient to prevent a dangerous build-up outside the ground.
What the jury said: The behaviour of Liverpool supporters did not cause or contribute to the dangerous situation at the Leppings Lane turnstiles."

You will never be forgotten.
So how come this stadium was used for semi finals for years with no incidents ? I was there and Liverpool fans turned up without tickets at 2pm-2,15pm. Forest fans were in their end in plenty of time and not in the pubs. So sad that the innocent Liverpool fans were the ones that died that day. R.I.P.
There was many incidents at this stadium before 1989.
There was enough room on the full expanse of those terraces to safely accommodate ALL ticket-holding fans, and (as well dissected since..)....also ALL those who arrived without tickets....FACT.
The point being that it was how a section of the fans were "channelled" into those central pens which caused the disaster....NOT that ticketless fans caused an excess in safe capacity, because those who crunched these numbers at the inquest made it quite clear that properly dispersed, even the none-ticket-holders would have safely been able to occupy the entire terrace along with the legit ticket holders. This may be morally wrong....but in terms of safety, that terrace was well able to safely hold both the honest and the dishonest on the day in question.....should they all have just been guided to the appropriate places on that terrace.
All that needed to happen was to delay the kickoff time for half an hour and the disaster would not have happened what a monumental lack of common sense and intelligence with such devastating consequences.
The central tunnel to pens 3 and 4 didn't have it's usual police horse patrol either to stop people entering those pens once full. Police fuck up (and then cover up) from start to finish.
And if only the policeman in charge had actually prepared himself for the day and instructed fans to move to the side pens
can you imagine your whole family going to a stupid game but you decided to stay home and you never see them again
As an American I had forgotten this. In 1989 I saw it on the news. Never knew why team rivalries were so intense. Soccer fans fighting at games. It turned me off from a good sport. Here it was a crush because of security concerns. Saddest losses of all.
R.I.P all 96 victims . A day no one will forget
Go and enjoy your hobbies and you die because of it. Absolutely shocking love to you who died rest in peace x
the police got off with this, 2 centre pens were overcrowded a long time before the game started and not 1 police officer could spot this. also no one stood trial for changing witness statements, is that not a criminal offence in itself, bad day for british justice, makes us a laughing stock of the world. britain has for a long time challenged other justice systems in the world, time to get their own house in order.
Absolutely horrific
I was only 18, but 33 years on I can still remember like it was yesterday.
Horrific.
Now everyone’s dad was there 🤦🏽♀️
i still don't understand what happened did the fans just get crushed against the fence?
Lewis Grana there were too many people so people were getting crushed or squished so their lungs couldn't expand so they ran out of breath and died
harleyhunt03 Same as what happened at Love Parade in 2010.
There were just too many people packed in too tightly in too small of a space. It wasn't just people up against the fence that died. People that were in the back died as well. They asphyxiated/suffocated. This wasn't the only time something like this has happened. It happened at the Ibrox stadium in 1971. 66 people died and more than 200 were injured.
Why they dont sing now "You will never walk on yours " ?
Have a read on www.stuff.co.nz/world/middle-east/72437352/how-people-die-in-a-crowd-crush. It's a really good article explaining how people die in a human crush. Basically, you get sqaushed between people and your chest gets compressed to a point that your lungs can no longer expand. And you can't do anything about it because you are trapped inside a dense crowd and are unable to move. Usually, you don't even realise you are dying until it's too late.
My dad was at Hillsborough...luckily he survived but he was never the same after it
Hi, whereabouts in the stadium was he?.
I wasn't even born but this affected me because I'm a Liverpool fan and it affected all of us and that is y to this day we have that little 96 on the bake of our jerseys
please remember all those who died today on there 32 anniversary may they all RIP
Like Liverpool remembered the 39 juventus fans their "fans" murdered at heysel by having a homecoming parade on the anniversary of the slayings? Unbelievable hypocrisy
Duckenfield should have been punished for his negligence. I was at the big day out in syd 2001 , and i really thought i was going to die , the heat and the way that the crowd was like one beast and the unsufrable heat and claustrophobia i will never forget and i cant go into big crowds now as i have a sml amount of ptsd from it in regards to being trapped and had a bit of a break down a few years ago as i worked in theatre building sets and got caught under a stage and still have nightmares about it all ,i really feel for all the ppl who have experience this kind of horrific event .rip the Hillsborough disaster for all esp the familys and rip the girl who perished at the bdo i think her name was Emma .
A friend of mine his dad had tickets for the game as a Liverpool fan right above three and four pen but was only 16 and not allowed to go so to teachers went and witnessed it all
So sad. Rip all.
No one gonna question why the fans didn't use common sense? HAD TO SEE THE GAME! Honest curiosity here... people start yelling they're being crushed but more fans just pile in willingly?
That's what I was thinking too. Its sad but entirely avoidable if they didn't behave like manic idiots.
They couldn't see how full the pens were from the other side of the tunnel and once through they were trapped!
The capacity of the pens should be regulated by the police and access blocked (on this occasion by closing 2 big heavy gates) when they reach capacity,
Not only did police NOT do this
They actually opened an outside gate allowing even more fans to enter the tunnel to pens 4 and 3,
The fans assumed there's room because access is still open.
Seem tried to turn and get out but they couldn't. Because more people were coming in making it impossible
Omg dude cmon
