In April 1989, England witnessed one of the biggest football disasters in its history.
In the cup semi-final match between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool, 97 fans of the Meatiards were crushed to death, who were initially blamed for their fate, and whose name was cleared after an investigation lasting over 25 years.
In the end, it was the police and stadium managers who were blamed for the great Hillsborough disaster, and despite the reform that has been made since then, it seems that not everyone has learned the horrific lesson.
The FA is currently investigating what could easily have been the Hillsborough 2 disaster, following complaints from Newcastle fans, who claim that the absence of stewards in last Saturday's cup match against Sheffield Wednesday could have resulted in fatalities.
According to the evidence, the lack of order in the "Lepings Line End" stand, caused the group's fans to be squeezed in a number of exceptions, and thus a crowding that could have ended in deaths.
Unbelievable its almost happened again after 34 years, luckily no one was hurt or worse!
Everyone is blaming the fans again!
Absolute Disgrace no stewarding around that tunnel

Although no one was hurt in the end, the heads of the association's security department do not sweep the incident under the carpet and intend to investigate deeply the incident that endangered 4,500 fans.
"We are very concerned about the reports of fans being crushed and squeezed in the cup match," said the spokesperson of the association's security department, "We are working with the club and with the Sheffield City Council to examine the incident, and to ensure the safety of the fans in the future."
