The youngest of the 96 deaths was a 10 year old, who was in fact a relative of Steven Gerrard.

I've just watched this video and I must say as a liverpool fan who lost an uncle at Hillsborough reading some of the trolls comments is sickening. How dare you claim that boys at the age of 10 were drunk and at fault for dying. I hope somewhere in the near future you become educated, not just on the Hillsborough disaster itself but in life because one day you may feel the pain we felt when our loved ones never came home, whilst I do not wish the feeling on anybody to go on social media and hide behind your phone/laptop/PC or however you access the internet I hope your family sees your comments and disowns you very nasty unintelligent people.

This case pretty sums up why I am terrified to be stuck in crowded places, I attended one show back in 2011 with at least 30.000 people and I never forgot the crushing sensation as we were heading in line towards the arena's entrance, and inside there , the shock wave of people trembling to find space to stay on its feet and not fall down while thousands more are coming by our backs.

RIP the 96 30 years ago today, Still so vivid.

Finally justice for the 96. No thanks to the authorities; but to the relentless and couragous quest for truth engaged by victims families and survivors for literally decades. Nothing can cure their sorrow or recover their loss but I admire and honor their efforts to see those in power take responsibility. Power to you.

Simple but thorough explanation for those who may not know the story. I wish people understood the extent to which this is not a story about Liverpool fans: It is a story about being able to trust Public Safety officers to keep us safe and to admit when they fail in that duty of care. Otherwise, none of us can ever feel safe in a place of public assembly.

the sad result of a perfect storm - an antiquated stadium with sub-standard entry gates that had been divided up into poorly designed "caged" pens due to past issues with football hooliganism - a police officer highly inexperienced on crowd control in charge on the day - a failure to assess and monitor the numbers of supporters entering the ground - all leading to a terrible tragedy.

If 96 police officers died it would be blamed on the fans

The survivors, families and friends of the 96 victims have shown nothing but dignity in their long fight for justice. It is a great shame that the government, authorities and the shameful police weren't able to do so. There is only one Liverpool, You'll Never Walk Alone.

JUSTICE AT LAST!!! David conn has fought and fought for the justice of these people he will go down in history!

An excellent well informed report, thank you.

I was nine at the time and had a ticket with my dad in Leppings lane upper. As a supporter of neither teams we turned around three miles from the ground as something felt wrong. Couldn’t believe the scenes u saw when I got home!

There are two types of people who tend to comment of these videos: Trolls who have nothing better to do than hate Liverpool fans as a whole. The other type are compassionate, thoughtful and respectful to one of football's worst disasters

How could they think it was ok to freely open doors for hundreds of thousands of people than the stadium could " contain" is beyond me. Preventable.

I was In the crowd of the big day out in Sydney 2001 and felt what being crushed by thousands of ppl feels like and have troubles now with big crowds . I really thought i was going to die , rip to all the ppl who die in these tragic circumstances.

So they were blaming the fans and only 27 years later, the fans who died get their justice. I hope every police officers who had responsibilities in this case but didn't admit their wrongdoings back then, were never be able to feel a sense of peace.

Pleased remember them today it's there 30 anniversary rest in peace 96

Boris Johnson wishes his comments about the survivors of Liverpool "Should get over it" could be erased from the memories of People. Shows you that Tories will do anything to save their own skin.

Major disasters, when not terrorist, are often due to a recent, relatively untested, change and/or a catastrophic effect due to a gradual failure of a physical support or system as a result of many years of laziness, complacency, greed, or miscalculation or lack of knowledge and/or a complication that places extra stress on the first two matters. For instance, the Kings Cross Fire was really caused by complacency, laziness and/or greed in two respects - that flammable wooden escalators were deemed an acceptable feature, and that not cleaning underneath escalators for many years on end was deemed an acceptable feature. Also that the as yet then undiscovered 'trench effect' had not been discovered. With Hillsborough, the untested change is that someone who hadn't controlled a football match before was in charge and what had worked as well as could in the circumstances before didn't happen - guiding fans to emptier pens. The gradual failure is system related in this case - the potential danger of enclosing fans in high fenced pens, where fans can only escape through a few doors - and this danger had already been seen before at Hillsborough in 1981. Oh - and the ground didn't have a safety certificate. And the complication was that Hillsborough's Leppings Lane end was slow and bottleneck-like when there was a high turnout to process. And these are the matters before the ambulance services response, as much as they were allowed to respond, is taken in to account too.

Rip those unfortunate souls

I'm a Chelsea fan, basic humanity should rise above football tribalism, this could have happened to any team, and nearly did for Tottenham at Hillsborough. What happened was easily preventable , and I am disgusted by some comments on here

People saying that the families are low life subhuman scum looking for compo are wrong. I don't know any of the families involved and I can tell you they're wonderful people.

be responsible for 96 death of 96 people then blame them...what a guy...

Lies and incompetence covered up for three decades only made worse by police making up horrible stories about Liverpool fans. Ducked field should be in prisoner for the rest of his life. He is a throughly rotten human being. Other police members and leaders contributing to the deaths and cover ups should also receive prison.

Still duckenfield not held accountable 2019.

It's truly tragic that so many young people lost their lives. There must be something that can be done to rebuild the entrances to the stadium to better control such enormous crowds. All officers need mandatory training in crowd control. I pray this sort of disaster never EVER happens again in the U.K.!!!

Thanks for the complete documentary.

Big Mistake appointing DuckenField as Senior Constable! 96 people wouldn’t have died!!

30 years on. This saddens me deep,y, should never of happened innocent people dying at tne sport we love YNWA from a Ffc fan

I'm not a football fan, but... Jesus. That's all I have to say. May the 96 forever be at peace.

Grown man in tears here, absolutely awful

This is separate but what are you supposed to do if you're involved in a crush? Should you go into the fetal position using your legs to protect your chest and thus allowing you to breathe? Something else maybe? It'd be worth knowing.

I remember watching this on the news as a kid. Awful watching people on the ground, covered in blood, distressed, panicking, desperately climbing 🥺

So so glad that the liverpool fans the club and the victims were found innocent of any wrong doing and it was the police that ultimately caused this tragedy because of inexperience and inadequate resources, RIP to the victims and Condolences to the families and liverpool f.c, glad that the 96 got the justice they finally deserved And they are now resting in eternal peace....respect to liverpool from a rangers fan

Was FA not at fault for not clearly outlining to fans and the police a proper operation? I know the police are in charge of crowd control, but it seems like there was no planning for this. They even said there were crushes here in previous years. The police are rightly to blame, but the FA got lightly.

Reminds me of what happened at Astro world

It’s an utter tragedy. The police behaviour before and after is disgusting but unsurprising. May the 96 never be forgotten.

I never realized before that the police and guards at festivals and baseball games were deliberately placed to avoid things like this. Never did I realize that this was even possible.

And now in Seoul......

breathe not breath. A breath is a single intake of air.

May your soul Rest in peace

cops knew they were to blame and covered it up !

Thanks

I will also never understand people pusing in more to get in front. lets not forget that someone, somehow is pushing more and there are people unable to do anything. In short his mistake was that he opened the outer door so more people would go in so they won't get crushed outside, but he also forgot to close the middle indoor and make people go to the side areas, so they all went to the middle one. There was a moment that people were being crushed while people in the back were still pushing to go inwards. You never push, you wait.

That policeman should been in jail for lying and causing deaths.

The report came to the conclusion it was designed to, to take any blame away from Liverpool fans.

This will happen on public trains soon.

I'm from Sheffield, I have never been so ashamed as after Hillsborough. On the day I had been shopping in town & on the bus home heard there had been trouble on Leppings Lane, I couldn't believe what I saw on the television in the pub, it looked like something after a wartime battle. South Yorkshire Police should have been disbanded, they lied about Orgreave & again at Hillsborough. I'm glad Liverpool got the justice they deserved, someone should have gone to prison, especially David Duckenfield & Margaret Thatcher should have been fired for spreading the lies.

You never walk alone.

Just the way that police departments are organized and in their response to incidents like these show that their sole purpose is ALWAYS to protect themselves before anything else

Love to all Ynwa

why didn’t they cancel when people were already being crushed outside

How did this happen

Heysel that's all I can say.

The real culprit was a stadium not up to scratch.

Why did this happen

I don't understand why people would bunch themselves up like that. I been to many sporting events and people naturally spread themselves out. Blaming the cops was wrong. It was the designed of the stadium. Now I don't know who owns the stadiums in England but this stadium was not built with public safety in mind. It should have been condemn even back then. How come that was never addressed? Just the idea of having the pens is absurd. Hopefully todays stadiums built in England have public safety in mind.

What about the European court of justice?

It's horrible that those who should have known better failed to control crowds and funneling them through to areas that were more lightly attended. At the same time, entire crowds of people, knowing they were stomping on their fellow human beings, continued to do so because "well they're saying we can...so I guess it's alright."

And someone still finds a way of chanting such in matches today 😢😢its sickening

26 years for those at fault to admit it? Wish such people weren't so entitled and didn't feel the need to pretend that they are infallible.

This case has such similarities with Bloody Sunday! The British authorities lied and tried to blame the victims instead of the British soldiers, who shot innocent victims. The families are still waiting for prosecutions , I hope the Hillsborough families are not treated the same- but unfortunately I won't hold my breath!

😢😢😢😢😢😢

it’s disgusting that 97 people died. 97 innocent people who just wanted to support their team died.

Travis scott astroworld is this days case

Nakakalungkot, pero lht din meron pag kukulang. Hndi mo din pwede isisi sa isa.

The police like many public sectors play by different rules

I am not here to blame police or the crowd. I blame who built the stadium with pens like that. The pens didn't just have fencing at the front to stop crowds running onto the pitch but the real blame lies with the person who allowed fences to be built in 3 parts along the goal crowd. Even with a rush of people crowds would have spread of been pushed further around the stadium. That one pen in the center caused the crush because people had nowhere to go.

Your brother goes out and kicks a bloke in the head, he dies. Horrific! a few years later, your little bro/sister gets punched and killed by someone half related to the person who your brother kills. Ridiculous, no? Heysel was horrific, and Liverpool fans convicted, deserved it, but this shouldn't be the pre-requisite to how people view Hillsborough ffs

Y does people always blame people on drugs or alcohol, to yet be blamed, for something that they caused for not having the right people working there, to keep the people from going through there like they did! For All of u who blamed the druggies and alcoholics, should stop and check out ur selves, and quit putting the blame on everyone but u !!!! RIP people!!!

does Britain not have a culture of queueing? I'm just asking out of curiosity.

justice for juventus fans at heysel

Fab. Now so Heysels

FTP

Poor souls 😢 just typical of the lying police

Move on.

Its sad. very sad, also people made mistakes .. one can offcourse follow the rampage on that small police force responsible for security at the grounds... but one cannot point fingers anywhere else than on the thousands of selfish and mindless hordes of liverpool fans raving in like lemmings into the pens... sickening,

Rubbish

Where the justice for the people who died in Heysel?

Doesn't seem right to try to blame anyone for this tragic human crush.. These thing's can happen when there's huge crowds.

So is it that if the people had listened to the instructions of the police, queued properly and not keep pushing and pushing, they wouldn't have died?

Justice for juve sick of hearing about this rubbish far worse has happened

Worst fans in world

I find this vid. very unconvincing. Far too much hindsight and ' what iffery' based on what became known after the event. The verdict of unlawful killing is perverse IMO At least 2 jurors agreed. Remember the violent behaviour of football supporters at the time. Perhaps you may consider doing a vid on the Heysel tragedy next ?

I tried to organise a tribute concert with Tight Fit, Squeeze and Air Supply cover bands. None turned up.

It's fucking sickening how the officer in charge got all the blame. Drunken Liverpool fans are the ones to blame.

Duckenfield should be in prison!!

Hills-bruh
