My apologies if it has already been discussed but, my God, what a horrible story. While the subject is sad, it's yet another fantastically well-done 30 for 30.

One of the best 30 for 30s...does a great job of recreating the scene/build up by continuously showing the turnstiles. Almost creates a sense of claustrophobia watching it.

Even more chilling is the fire that happened about 30 years ago. Started as a small fire under the stands and had engulfed the whole side of the stadium within 5 minutes. Terrible loss of life. It was all announced on live TV. I forget where it happened and the teams involved.

It is well done, really opened my eyes and changed my mind about that day.

I hope Steven Cohen watched it.

Heysel should've been mentioned. That is why all the blame was placed on the fans.

Well Heysel was Liverpool's fans fault.

I do agree with that but UEFA and the Belgian organizers should share some blame as well. When you play in a crumbling stadium with poor security bad things are bound to happen.

I said in the thread about this its sad that no lessons were learned in the UK from this.

That wouldn't fit the narrative.

Yeah would've been very out of place given the theme of the documentary. But I agree, neither tragedy should be mentioned without the other. They are very intertwined.
