This is all horrifying. It's so difficult to believe that I could go to a game, die in a terrible accident, and be blamed for my own death (for supposedly being a drunk hooligan) for 23 years before there was any official recognition of the truth.

Ninpo posted:He's one of those United fans and I want to put his head in a vice. I've read way more of what this guy has written over the past couple of days than I ever want to again, and I have to say that I find the most odious part of it to be the fact that he always goes on about "Well this is just what I do in crowds", as if he's such a smug bastard and no one at Hillsborough thought of trying to move back instead of mindlessly moving forwards until they were literally the people dying. It's as if he's saying "Well if only I had been there with my revolutionary idea of moving backwards instead of forwards, those people would still be alive." gently caress him.

Dudley posted:When the plane hit them, they should have calmly pushed back. Now see when I'm in a burning building my first instinct is to run down the stairs and get out. Seems to me like these people must have been running UP, or more of them would have survived.

That's like a Liverpool fan singing a song about Munich and then saying "But I was just referring to that recent time when Bayern knocked United out of the Champions League". Absolute idiocy and they're insane if they think anyone's going to buy it.

From the BBC match report, apparently after the final whistle two Pool fans ran over to the away end and started making airplane gestures, and the United fans responded by doing that. I didn't see either happen live, so I can't really say if it's true or not.

Video footage filmed by police may have been edited. Unfortunately the story doesn't actually say much more about it, like how it may have been edited or what the footage did or didn't show that could warrant editing in the first place.
