I’ve seen the video to this more times I can remember on various health and safety related courses.

It always amazes me how quickly the whole stand catches fire.

Remember watching the footage live. My emotions were just a mad mix of shock, horror and helplessness and wondering how the F something like that could possibly happen.
Shocking scenes at the time and no less shocking to see that image now.
May the victims RIP and their friends/relatives find solace in the fact that they will never be forgotten.

I still remember watching it the day it happened. The way this disaster was allowed to happen through sheer laziness and incompetence still makes me angry.

God bless - Rip the 56.

Remember watching the live footage in absolute shock. Even when it looked like they had got everyone out of the stand another man climbed over and walked across the pitch completely on fire with people trying their best to put the fire out. It was horrifying.

Rest in peace the 56.
