	Hillsborough disaster: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		The Hillsborough Disaster occurred on April 15, 1989 on a football field in England, resulting in the loss of 96 lives.
		Liverpool F.C. were involved in their 17th FA Cup Semi-Final, to be played against Nottingham Forest F.C. at Hillsborough, the home of Sheffield Wednesday F.C. The game started just like any other, but with only 6 minutes played, the referee[?] called a halt to the game.
		Following the Suns report, that newspaper was boycotted by most newsagents in Liverpool, with many refusing to stock the tabloid and large numbers of readers cancelling orders and even refusing to buy from shops which did stock the newspaper.

		Hillsborough was no Heysel because there was no riot, it was not a Bradford because there was no fire, it was not an Ibrox because there was no crush of fans going in opposite directions and it was not a Bolton because the ground as a whole was not overwhelmed by weight of numbers.
		For the sake of those who died at Hillsborough and those whose lives were changed forever by it, we hope that those in charge of our safety and welfare DO imagine it could happen and move heaven and earth to ensure that it never will.
		There are those who experience the disaster directly, relatives and friends of victims, rescue and recovery workers, people in the local community who share the loss and grief, witnesses and helpers, others who but for lucky chance would have been involved themselves.

		At the end of the latest public inquiry into the disaster, in February 1998, some of the families felt that their campaign to find out the truth about Hillsborough had to be more aggressive.
		Hillsborough had been selected as the neutral ground for the 1989 FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest; Liverpool supporters were assigned the Leppings Lane "away" stand.
		The first inquiry into the Hillsborough disaster, by Lord Justice Taylor, revealed that Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield, the officer in overall charge, had lied; in fact, the police had opened the gate and this had caused the crush inside the ground.

		Hillsborough has given rise to an extensive body of case law and has brought the law of torts in England into stark perspective with regard to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) both on a civilian and on a "professional" level.
		THE FACTS, briefly, of the Hillsborough disaster were that, through an admittedly negligent police decision at a major football match in April 1989, two spectator pens were allowed to become overcrowded, resulting in the crushing to death of 95 spectators and the personal injury of hundreds more, either physical or psychiatric, or both.
		It followed that the police officers were not entitled to recover damages as against the Chief Constable for psychiatric injury suffered as a result of assisting in the aftermath of a disaster, either as employees or as rescuers.

		Relatives of those crushed to death on April 15, 1989 at Hillsborough stadium, the home of the Sheffield Wednesday soccer club, have called Home Secretary Jack Straw's decision a "cynical betrayal." Some of the families have resolved to take out private prosecutions against those they consider to be responsible for the disaster.

		Trevor Hicks, chairman of the Hillsborough Families Support Group, said that Straw's decision was "a case of New Labour, new betrayal.
