Fascinating documentary. I remember watching the tragic events unfold live on the TV. The game was being transmitted live on RTÉ Television here iin Ireland.

Gate c was opened and 5,000 fans rushed towards the tunnel to the central pens. The police guarding it shit themselves seeing the marauding crowd coming their way and ran for their lives. This left the tunnel open and the central pens were already full. The late comers all entered the pens and crushed the early birds to death. The sheer force of 5,000 people being in a cage made for 2,000. Peoples faces were jammed against each other until they passed out from a lack of oxygen. As they fell to the floor their bodies crushed by the feet of the standing. The police who ran for their lives should have had the courage to stand their ground and block the tunnel, and redirected those marauding fans to the side pens which were empty. None of this would have happened. When there is only one person at a time coming through a turnstile it is simple to redirect them but when 5,000 are let in at once it can be intimidating.

It's absaloutly terrible human error.. not one fan had the sense to back out and leave, and no one stopped the start of the game .... police wer confused with no organisation at all
