  Hillsborough disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hillsborough disaster was a deadly human crush that occurred on April 15, 1989, at Hillsborough, a football stadium in Sheffield, England, resulting in the loss of 96 lives.
The Hillsborough Stadium, considered a state-of-the-art stadium at the time, was segregated between the opposing fans as was customary at all large matches at neutral venues: the Liverpool supporters being assigned to the Leppings Lane End.
Graphic footage of the disaster was available because the match was being recorded for later broadcast and this, along with the number of fatalities made an extreme impact on the general UK population.

Disasters are shown to arise from the innermost logic of capitalist society, not just from the negligence or malice of individuals (or individual corporations).
Bordiga is prescient in his understanding of the links between (capitalist) human intervention and so-called natural disasters, stressing the role of the disastrous deforestation of the mountains in the flooding of the Po, which forced 100,000 people to flee their homes.
The spectacularisation of disasters Nothing exposes the reality of class society more than a disaster, yet disasters are frequently the occasion for the political/media orchestration of a national spectacle of mourning, in which all social divisions are supposed to be dissolved in tears.

By 1918 there were about 5 million people in the army and the fledgling Royal Air Force, newly formed from the RNAS and the RFC, was about the same size of the pre-war army.
The almost 3 million casualties were known as the "lost generation", and such numbers inevitably left society scarred; but even so, some people felt their sacrifice was little regarded in Britain, with poems like Siegfried Sassoon's Blighters criticising the ill-informed jingoism of the home front.
On November 15, 1985, Thatcher signed the Hillsborough Anglo-Irish Agreement, the first acknowledgement by a British government that the Republic of Ireland had an important role to play in Northern Ireland.

It is by pure coincidence that, when the superintendent gave her a list of schools and their conditions and needs, that she picked Pass Christian.
Masters said Pass Christian school administrator Kay Renfrey composed the list with help of teachers, many of whom are living in the same kinds of trailers that have been set up for student classrooms at Delisle School in Alexandria, about 10 miles inland from Pass Christian.
Although Avery was enthusiastic about going to the south to help, both mother and daughter found the list of required supplies for the trip “sobering.” “They said she had to bring two days’ supply of water, wet naps for bathing, and non-perishable foods,” Finch said.

It is believed they also chanted “There’s only one Boris Johnson“, a reference to the Conservative MP and editor of the Spectator magazine who was last week forced to apologise for publishing derogatory comments about Liverpudlians and their role in the Hillsborough disaster, which claimed 96 lives.
Phil Hammond, chairman of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, said the abuse was “sickening” but not unique to Millwall fans.
