The Heysel Disaster 1985 Four years before the Hillsborough disaster, Liverpool fans were involved in another tragic event. On May 29, 1985, Liverpool was defending its European title against Juventus at the Heysel stadium in Belgium.
As is usually the case, fans were separated into various sections but Liverpool fans in section Y ended up next to a number of Juventus fans in section Z—which was supposed to be a neutral section for Belgian fans.
Both sets of spectators began to throw projectiles at each other and soon the Liverpool fans broke through the barrier separating the two groups and forced Juventus fans towards the wall.
As more and more Juventus fans tried to escape the wall collapsed, resulting in deaths and injuries to many.
Hillsborough Disaster 1989 Liverpool were to face Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semifinal on the 15th of April, 1989 at Hillsborough stadium.
What should have been an exciting day of football ended up with over 93 people dead and hundreds injured in one of the most disastrous events in British football history.
Liverpool fans outnumbered those of their opposition yet they were allocated tickets to the Leppings Lane end of the stadium which held fewer seats.
As more Liverpool fans came to the grounds the push from those outside the stadium led to those at the front being crushed together and against fencing surrounding the pitch. The inadequate preparations and actions by police officers exacerbated the situation and tragedy ensued.
The disaster led to the Taylor Report which called for several changes to stadium design, including seating assignments for all spectators.
There were reports of over 74 people killed and hundreds injured in this tragic incident.
After a match between Al-Masry and Al-Ahly, fans of the winning team, Al-Masry, invaded the pitch and began to attack both opposition fans and players.
There were rocks thrown and fireworks set off by the attackers, and apparently the security forces at the grounds made no attempt to quell proceedings.
Al-Ahly players even called into the team's local station to describe events.
"One of Al-Ahli's players, Mohamed Aboutreika, rang the team's own television channel to describe the violence as it unfolded. He said Masry supporters invaded the pitch after the referee had blown his whistle, despite their team winning 3-1."
Officials within the city that this incident occurred, Port Said, were fired and there have been various theories as to how exactly such an event came to pass.

Meanwhile, I just stumbled on a video on YouTube. The video shows the compound and the shallow grave where INI Obong the job seeker in Akwa Ibom was raped and buried.
Three other victims were also exhumed from the place. The building is an uncompleted building. Its surrounding has graves of victims. May God help us all. Watch the video below
budaatum: That's like a plate of rice with dodo and assorted meat and vegetables and a chilled bottle of odeku randomly appearing on the table before one.
How can everything be random if it depends on what led to it?
Do note that scientists never claim to know how it all began. The fact is however that a bang that is big can not just randomly happen since something has to exist to go bang. And before you assume I'm saying God said, "let there be a big bang", even God would have had to evolve from something and evolve something big to make go bang.
RingRoadMafia: So you prefer a theory that can't be substantiated? A theory which neither you nor the author of the book which you speak of know absolutely nothing about.
unanonso: Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 1:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 1:18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Vulcanheph: A scientist once said that there are two possibilities; Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone and both possibilities are frightening.
There might not have been any physical proof that aliens exist but you can't tell me that with a universe so vast with plentiful galaxies, numerous solar systems and countless planets.... You cannot tell me that there isn't a possibility that intelligent life exists outside there.
I really doubt life exists outside the milky way , at least we are sure nothing is in the Solar System , we are one spontaneous freak accident , Maybe.
Since you asked , you could have killed your girlfriend and be a crazy maniac, a crazed sociopath and your hair wouldn't show all these traits . would it..
BigDawsNet: The Moon is Earth's only permanent natural satellite.
permanent lol Ever since the Moon was created billions of years ago, it has been slowly moving away from the Earth at a rate of 3.8 centimeters (1.5 inches) every year. What does this mean?
Well, it means that during prehistoric times, the moon was a lot closer to the Earth as it is today. Scientists believe that the moon was as close as 2000–30000 kilometers to the Earth 4.5 billion years ago.
The moon will always slowly move away from the Earth due to how fast the Moon is revolving, and in about 15 billion years, the Moon will be far enough out to no longer be influenced by the Earth’s gravity, and will no longer move away but maintain a constant orbital distance.so sorta like this
