Did nobody watch the 30 for 30. I found it fascinating. Very sad incident.

There's a thread on the soccer board about it.

I did and it was excellent. I knew of the disaster but not the details of how and why it happened. Just a ton of variables all going the wrong way. Just a cluster frick.

Yeah very scary. The footage was haunting. Seems like they would have made changes to stadium after initial incidents.

Was this one of those 30 on 30 soccer editions?

Yes. Today was the 25th anniversary of the disaster.

I looked up the incident after I saw there was 1 minute of silence for the "96" when I was watching the soccer match on TV either yesterday or the day before.

Interesting that there was a 30 for 30 about it just a couple days after I found out what it was.

The moment of silence in this past weekend's fixtures was in memory of the 96.

Tuesday was the 25th anniversary of the tragedy, which is why there is more talk about it now as well as a documentary.

I don't get it either....

Well maybe I get it and it was just a horrible attempt at a joke. Not sure.

Didn't catch the show. Hopefully later I will.

I see what he was shooting for with the joke, but it was just utterly unfunny

I'm sure the soccer fans will say this is a dumb question...but if I'm in a crowd that looks that daunting...my first thought isn't to join in. Does not walking forward never cross these people's mind?
