Was going to post this yesterday.
Absolutely horrific, and for some reason I never saw the footage before.
Just shocking to see, and many lost their lives (56) or suffered appalling injuries.

Match was live on TV. I knew one, Derek Dempsey. Played snooker with him at Bradford City Band Club. RIP Derek, and the others. A horrifying day.

It was supposed to be a day of celebration as we'd just won the league.

Horrifying indeed.
Pretty sure it wasn't live on TV though, Kenny. |

Sorry you're correct Mikael. They had live pictures from the ground after the fire started.

Bad enough if you lost one member of your family.
Are those with the same surname from one family or different families? |

By:
Chesterfield secured the 4th division title the same day and I was lucky enough to be in the players' lounge afterwards. The champagne was flowing until somebody stuck the telly on. Not belittling any of the other disasters to have occurred at matches, but Bradford always seems particularly brutal.

Well as there were 56 deaths I would imagine they're the same family taxi.

i will never forget that poor man walking he was on fire all over was on t.v

To partly defend the youths singing as the fire raged, they didn't realise the dreadful seriousness of it and did cease when it became apparent how catastrophic the situation was.

wasn't it a cigarette Kenny?
|
|
By:
B-B, the exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to be a cigarette or match Ignited a pile of rubbish that had been left to accumulate at the back of the stand. Took 4 minutes to claim the lives.

I'm not a football fan at all, but obviously knew of this tragedy.
I only saw a photograph of the stand ablaze on Facebook the other day. It was alight from end to end, and I'm surprised there weren't more who died than listed above. Did the dead get trapped in just one section of the stand? And one other thing, given the demographics of Bradford, I'm surprised that there are no asian names on the list of the dead. Don't asians go to football matches up north? |
