6:38 Those police submitted honest, written statements. They were all shelved/altered. I vaguely remember this day, even though i was a kid. Out playing with friends, beautiful sunny day, cousin who lived nearby was watching this, and going in and out from his house relaying the news of the match...10 dead, 25, 30, 55 dead, figure kept going up. Surreal.

Liverpool fans caused it.

Very sad to see this. I think the most poignant moment was seeing the Liverpool scarf hanging off the remains of the fencing. A scarf that probably belonged to one of the victims. Such a sad occasion that did not need to happen. This one is on the police and the police NO MATTER WHAT, whether in the UK or the US will ALWAYS stick together and cover each others back for as long as possible. "Our blood is blue" as they say. Incidents like this and the lies exposed are an example of why there is so much mistrust towards the police. The report about the London Met was appalling. Allegations of racism, sexism, bullying. On and on. Yes of course, there are good officers out there. But think, when you give people power, depending on the character type of that person, they will either use it in a good way or a bad way. Power is a dangerous thing and should not just be handed out so easily. I truly believe all police officers including all rank should go through intensive psychological testing and observation before even being allowed to become a police offer and being granted powers. Yes, this would be a long and tedious and expensive process. But considering Britain is one of the richest countries in the world, surely this could be done. It just won't be done. 1. Because they don't care enough. 2. Because the tories will continue to defund the police. 3. The British are generally stubborn and narcissistic (as proven by their brutal imperial conquests) and believe that they have already 'got it right'.

Can you please explain more about what you saw and experienced?

Same as you. I watched this on Grandstand and being 11 at the time, I was trying to process what unfolded. I always like every Liverpool Supporter should have this date in my heart and will do for the rest of my life.

Why did you support Liverpool? Support a London team ffs. Here in America are loyal to our sports teams.

@@gregconway736 hmmmm?....well let me talk your lindo shall l?...my mom is from liverpool pal?....does that answer your question?....or do you not know the difference between american football, and soccer?...sorry football...

​@@gregconway736 No you just move the whole of team lock stick & barrell to another state. You're forgetting how close our towns & City's are to ppl, hence ppls mum's or dad's grandparents from other places you can go half an hour in a car & the accents changed that's why. Also I don't believe for one minute your by statement. So nobody outside of LA supports the Lakeres or Yankees ridiculous thing to say especially when U don't know what ya talking about. Lots of of Americans also support Barcelona & Madrid. Noel Gallagher ex oasis sat in a pub in in San Francisco with man city supporters after one phoned a show he was on in UK & invited him so Ur talking pony mate. Ppl like you wind me right up in ya bubble, that's why September 11th happened U think Ur the only place that exists. Your college goers think London's a country FFS.

​@@nikreece6295it's terrible what our supporters went through back in 1989.

And spurs fans also complained about the leppings lane end of hillsborough in 1981…nobody died that day of of course…Theiris in fact footage of that on KZfaq

I was just one of those people who was meant to attend this match but we couldn’t get tickets! We were from Edinburgh with our boys football club from under 12s team to under 16s at a tournament in York. We had lunch & a meet & greet with the Sheffield Wednesday players on the Friday at Hillsborough with Lee Chapman Ron Atkinson etc & a stadium tour & simply because it was the FA cup Semi Final we couldn’t go to the match so we as a club went to Elland road to watch Leeds Vs Bournemouth in the old 2nd division simply because we couldn’t get tickets. At half time everyone to a man was watching the tv screens in the stand while getting a pie & we all thought it was a riot until we saw people running around carrying there brothers & sisters etc on the advertising boards & then we all realised how serious a situation it was & nobody spoke nobody went back to watch the 2nd half we all stopped and watched what was happening just speechless. Absolute tragedy. Thankfully we didn’t get tickets so I count myself lucky as-there was around 100 kids aged between 12/15 who would’ve been there & due to it being sold out we ended up at Elland Road instead of attending the tragic event which happened in Sheffield. All My thoughts and prayers go to everyone involved or affected by this horrific tragedy and I mean everyone involved as it effected so many more lives & families than the 97 victims because of the negligence that the Yorkshire Police Department caused. Gone but always remembered and You’ll Never Walk Alone. A day that I’ll never forget Heartbreaking still 35 years later it’s still so vivid in my mind & I was a young 13 year old and it still feels very real today. ✌️🙏✌️

I think you mean the 97 Liverpool fans

Indeed never seen a lot of the footage/interviews here before.

The cops getting there stories straight right in front of the camera...

*James

Not just cattle but criminals. Accused by the police of pissing on coppers who were trying to help and stealing money from the dead. Bloody disgrace and I'm not surprised the sun newspaper is nigh on impossible to buy in Liverpool for printing that shite

Very true. A working class man's sport. Fans even when well behaved were already stereotyped. Not a great start from the police who caused this whole fiasco.

It is amazing that it's still there compared to other grounds where disasters have happened such as Ibrox, Bolton, Bradford, Moscow, Bastia etc which have long since been bulldozed beyond recognition. If Wednesday can't afford a new stand maybe Liverpool could pay for it instead as a final tribute and ending to the tragedy before moving on for good

Duckenfield was just lazy and half-arsed. I find it incredible that to this day he is unable to account for what he was doing for two hours prior to kick-off. Probably sitting on his ass or down the pub

@@billkent6037 He was sat in his control box which was overlooking the infamous Leppings Lane end. How he could not see the two central pens were already seriously overcrowded when he gave the order to open the exit gate to let the fans in remains a mystery. When the fans were escaping the crush by going onto the pitch he was busy radioing back to his superiors asking them to send Police dogs to the ground to control the fans rather than the many ambulances that were actually needed. Duckenfield was way out of his depth being match commander of that game. His decisions cost lives needlessly.

We do. Ann7ally. Stop point scoring you toolbag

and the 57 bradford fans who perished in the valley parade stadium fire that same year, and the 66 rangers fans crushed after a stampede at the ibrox disaster in 1971, and the 66 russian football fans who died at the luzhiniki stadium disaster in 1983

It’s 39 but I doubt you care…

@@nikreece6295 AND The Munich disaster in 1958 that killed several very talented MUFC players.

@@brianmorecombe2726 and the grand torino players who perished in the superga plane crash in 1949....they were a great team too from what l read of them

Ducken field got away with it.

I noticed every witnessed interviewed expressed helplessness,which is the worst emotion to feel,when you physically are not being able to help someone in a life or dealth situation.Its in our genetic gene's as humans to help others In need.I can only imagine experiencing or witnessing this traumatic,terrifying incident would cause PTSD to all.... But it doesn't end there...Survivors Guilt...Depression...Anxiety...Relationship Breakdownds....Alcohol/Drug Abuse...The list goes on and on where everyone is now living with a life sentence.

Spot on there my friend. Absolutely knew everything about what caused the problem within minutes of knowing that the gate got opened by the police, but as you say another cover up by a corrupt government & police force. ✌️👍✌️

Have you though? 🤷‍♂️

You really have no clue do you? Footballs tribal it goes back to how the teams were formed, dockers,railway workers etc. US has no history so U wouldn't understand & that makes our government scum yeah they are but they have nothing to do with segregation that's the FA. Or premier league. A game of whatever can't mean much to you to us it's in everything.

Because in the '70s and '80s, these stadiums were battlegrounds between certain sections of fans it's not like American sports where you see it as just a sport in those days in the UK it was like tribes going to war on a football pitch resulting in barriers going up around the stadiums to stop fans getting onto the pitch to fight with each other or even with players the authorities wanted to keep the fans contained resulting in this disaster too many fans showing up to such a small stadium and the police not policing it correctly and getting overrun and confused with someone making stupid decisions by letting in more fans.

English soccer is followed largely and invariably by the lower and working classes who generally tend to be scum, so they are always fighting each other.

Most fans don't want to be mixed in together. There would be carnage. You Americans could have an argument in an empty room. We see the videos pal.

@@krt3718 No hooligans at sports events. No wonder they had to put up fences at Hillsborough. The Liverpool fans wouldve tried to kill the Nottingham fans.

Duckenfield got away with it.

There were you? Alive at that time were you? Ever been to a game in the eighties when this was the norm? No, we’ll keep you ignorant opinions to yourself.

Imbecile. Go read up EVERY report there's ever been on it. Fans were NOT to blame.

Shithouse

The link is you , work that one out Johnny england

Heysel = Fans fault, Hillsborough = police fault.

What a prick

Not true. Check your facts. There was less people in there than tickets allocated. They were sent to their death by the opening into the middle pen while the sides were practically empty. The drunk and ticketless fans is all part of the cover up. Look at the video ,how many of those fellas are drunk? None.

Of course nobody could provide any evidence of ticketless fans causing it. Even though they had CCTV coverage of the gates and turnstiles and those who wanted to blame ticketless fans spent months going through footage counting all those who entered. 😂

Less people on the terrace than tickets sold so piss off with the lies

@@ianmclean1165 Murderers, like Heysel
