Ninety-six Liverpool football fans lost their lives when they went to watch a game on 15th April 1989.
More than 50,000 people gathered at the Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, England, for the FA Cup Semi-Final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
In order to relieve a bottleneck of Liverpool fans trying to enter the venue before kickoff, police opened an exit gate and people rushed to get inside.
More than 3,000 fans were funneled into a standing-room-only area with a safe capacity of just 1,600. The obvious crush in the stands prompted organisers to stop the game after six minutes.

Ought to happen more often, good way to thin out the idiots.
I was 15 and remember this tragic even as if it’s yesterday
Thia video came to me after Andrew Devine Death,which is sad because bit make the number of victim in Hillsborough tragedy even bigger,and as Liverpool fans this is the biggest tragedy i ever see?, and all of ua hope this tragedy is never happen again?
Justice for 97,never forgotten
It’s hard to get your head around the fact that people can get crushed, become unconscious and die while standing up. Terrible disaster.
Imagine what’s it’s like to actually care about sports
The real story has never been told!
Foolish people of that time….
The history Will repeat itself
Pretty fuckin stupid clip not clarifying what exactly happened
Lol. My father died that day, he saved a little boy though, two actually they were brothers. The fact that MY brother had to watch his own father die before is eyes is sickening, i’m glad i was sick that day.
So why in hell wouldn't they open the gates to let people out immediately?
Imagine the elderly and children in there…
All for a game
Wthells the are doing there stay home, go into the death
I couldn’t understand the scope of this event but then I remember all those times I’ve been in a mosh pit. But even that doesn’t come close to this
They knew what they signed up for.
I thought that the stadium fell down on the people and they got crushed by it, but actually, people died crushed by the crowd? Damn, thats actually worse than the stadium falling down on your head.
Reason why Girls live longer than Boys
Times like these being an introvert is pretty darn cool
And today, a 97th fan died from brain damage from this game. Rip ?️
97. RIP fella.
RIP Andrew Devine
A survivor died today rip
Stupid Liverpool fans
Just…..What a bunch of f*cking ret@rds.
Stupidest people on earth cant u see crowd u still going inside to get fucksd
My dick got trapped in that. It was cool at first cuz it was nice until I died and then all the sudden it snapped off. And then I lost it. But then I saw somebody kicking something around on the ground, and realized it was my dick so I picked it up brushed it off and put it back on
My dad went to Sheffield University in 1987 (2 years before the disaster) and was lucky enough to go to 2 games at Hillsborough in his time there. He told me that both occasions he went the crowds were massive and there was little breathing space when all fans were in the ground, given that he was 19 at the time and was surrounded mostly by grown adults. He told me that on his way out of the stadium for one of the games, he and his friend walked with such a big packed crowd that he literally got carried through the crowd pressing against him with his feet off the ground all the way. The foreshadowing and demonstrations that Hillsborough was a dangerously compact and oversold stadium at the time was all there. And I’m so glad he didn’t go to that fateful game on 15th April 1989. He had left uni by that point.
definitely suffocation caused the deaths. so tragic. 2k fans getting into the stadium illegally, and then 96 to die, and the game to be called off. such pathetic people, those 2k trespassers!!!!!!!
Just looking at the crowds is making my breathing more difficult ?
It still upsets me after all these years the police Margaret Thatcher Kelvin Mackenzie and Brian Clough who rubbished the Liverpool fan's after the tradgedy should of all hung their heads in shame RIP THE 96 AND STEPHEN WHITTLE
Rather watch games on t.v. Things can go crazy real fast!
Absolutely terrible literally crushed and suffocated to death ????
Now my friends this is what I call hardcore soccer fans in the Old Trafford we’re just like this but there are no cages like that so we don’t get crushed
Was this in anfield?
But what actually happen here i know its crowded. But how did 96 people died??
How did they die????
0:14 Mr. Beast on the right
I guess humans are the worst cattle ever…. how tf does this happen
LIFE > game
Liverpool fans as usual
