Hillsborough Disaster 1989
I give it a good chance that there is something about this somewhere in here so pardon my re post in advance! "The Hillsborough disaster occurred on 15 April 1989 at the FA Cup semi-final match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough Stadium, Sheffield, England. A crush resulted in the deaths of 96 people and injuries to 766 others. The incident has since been blamed primarily on the police for letting too many people enter the stadium. It remains the worst stadium-related disaster in British history, and one of the world's worst football disasters." Read more at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillsborough_disaster There is a video of the live coverage of the game on YouTube. You can see that players kept playing for several minutes while the disaster was taking place. |

Re: Hillsborough Disaster 1989
On one hand, I recoil in horror from the gross logistical mismanagement that resulted in these senseless deaths. On the other, I see a bleating herd of human sheeple, voluntarily allowing themselves to be packed into a pen like livestock. For what? Fucking football. Blame the cops, blame the administrators, blame whoever you want to blame for this travesty, but ultimately everyone of those people would have survived the day if they'd stayed home to watch the game on telly or at the pub with some friends. Or if they just chose to sit and read a fucking book instead. I have never placed myself anywhere near to this sort of completely preventable disaster because the idea of being jammed in with so much collected human filth is so abhorrent to me that I'd sooner shoot myself in the fucking head. Anyone who willingly follows a meandering drunken herd into a fucking livestock pen for any reason whatsoever has eliminated any chance at sympathy from me. ![]() Your mileage may vary, of course. |

Re: Hillsborough Disaster 1989
It's true, though! One spring my wife and I drove to a famous theme park for vacation. It was two states away and took about 7 hours of driving to reach. When we arrived, the line of cars to get in was over 6 miles long and not moving. You think I sat in that line on a hope and a prayer? Nope. Didn't matter that we'd driven 7 hours just to go. Wife and I looked at one another. She said "Dinner?" I responded "Yuuuup." We did a U-turn out of the line and went to a nice eatery for dinner, then got a hotel room for the night and drove home the next morning, never once looking back at the filthy line of rubes growing older as they waited for their turn in the queue. No fucking lines and livestock pens and cattle cars for me, thank you. Anyone who had the sense that day at Hillsborough to look at that debacle and say "Fuck this, I'm off to the pub instead." probably remembered for the rest of their lives how good that beer tasted. |
