Hasn't the footage actually be banned from broadcast? I seem to remember hearing that it's only used for fire safety videos now.

 

The whole thing scares the hell out of me, it sounds absolutely horrific.

They went live when it was happening in the afternoon for a while, World of Sport I think it was. I can remember from the footage I saw being shocked how quickly it spread and really took hold.

I don't know but I have seen the footage many times, and the thing that sticks in my mind is the fella whose hair ignites just because he is close to it.

 

Horrible pictures.

There was a father and son who literally sat rooted at the far end of the stand from where the fire started while the fire moves towards them and then at the last possible second get up and run on to the pitch. Really odd.

 

Then of course there were the c**** singing and dancing on the pitch as people were burning to death.

do you think they had a scooby what was happening in reality.

A big stand full of people going up in flames in seconds and people rolling around on the pitch on fire might have been a bit of a clue.

The f***ing thing was engulfed in flames, how could they have known it was so serious?

[Bootser]

I remember watching the live footage and remember shouting at the telly - 'Run for f***s sake, run'. Some aul fella was just sitting there. Terrible event.

 

Terry Yorath spoke very well about it.

 

RIP
