Close

The Hillsborough Disaster was a human crush that occurred on 15 April 1989 at Hillsborough, a football stadium, the home of Sheffield Wednesday F.C. in Sheffield, England, resulting in the deaths of 96 people,[1] all fans of Liverpool F.C. It remains the deadliest stadium-related disaster in British history and one of the worst in international football.[2] It was the second of two stadium-related disasters involving Liverpool supporters, the other being the Heysel Stadium Disaster in 1985.

The match, an FA Cup semi-final tie between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, was abandoned seven minutes into the game.

The night before the burial of her husband's body, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of 'Cat,' and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. "I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it," she said. "I think that's what he would have wanted."

The IRA funeral crowd thought they were UDA terrorists come to attack them just like had happened the previous week (hence the need for another IRA funeral that day which was being filmed by the BBC). They didn't realise they were undercover British soldiers there to protect them from another UDA attack. The whole thing was shown live on TV as it was happening and I watched it without realising these guys were soldiers. Most of the footage was never shown again. The most disgusting upsetting thing I have ever seen.

Dr Chimps, in Northern Ireland during the troubles you had the catholic IRA fighting to break away from UK and the Protestant UDA fighting to keep Northern Ireland part of the UK. All terrorists, gangsters and nasty people regardless of which side they were on. The week before this event there was an IRA funeral and a UDA terrorist called Michael Stone went to the funeral and started shooting people. The funeral the next week was for people Stone had shot and British soldiers were sent to watch out for any more attacks. Unfortunately the IRA mourners thought the 2 soldiers were UDA terrorists and killed them on live television.

A lot of people in other parts of the world think that Ireland is this romantic island which the nasty British took control of and the IRA freedome fighters fought the British soldiers for freedom.
Actually Northern Ireland is very much British and the vast majority of people are protestant Irish Brits who hate the catholics who live there and the catholics over the border in the republic of Ireland. There was as much terrorism by the protestant "British Northern Irish" UDA members as there was by the IRA. They were really fighting amongst themselves most of the time, the British army was there to keep peace.
Look at the youtube video posted. 3 people murdered and 60 injured by an English/Irishman against other Irish/Irishmen. It wasn't the British they were fighting at all and the funds raised by the IRA sympathisers in USA went to finance international gun and drug dealing activities.

To a certain extent they have.

However there are still active paramilitaries on both sides. People are still wary of each sides - people are still stupid and still worship terrorists. Many of our political leaders were ex paramilitaries/murderers. We released 100s of paramilitaries onto the streets in the Good Friday Agreement.

They will never die as long as there is stupidity and ignorance.

I believe they went to see the funeral a foolosh move. Then paniced as they drove right into the cortege. I know the area well. It is easy to get lost.

All SAS carried guns so it was not unusual

thats what i am trying to say. when we were in Iraq 3 army soldiers decided to go to a funeral of a man that they had killed in a fire fight, just to prove they were badasses. they actually told people this, they wanted to go to the funeral to show these people "we don't fuck around"....my company was given orders the next day to recover the 3 bodies, take down any resistance in the area, and talk to no one in the media.

a week later the the soldiers were said to be killed by a road side bomb on a routine patrol ::)

I think they were just totally foolish. No need to do what they did and it cost them dearly with their lives.

You cant win a war against a people whose soldiers are normal citizens. Vietcong, IRA and Taliban.

exactly, and it pisses me off because we get blamed for it. i had a friend that got brought up on charges for shooting a school teacher in Astan. the fire fight erupted about 45yards from the school. the teacher ran out of the building firing a rifle at us. but they thought they had enough proof to arrest him when they did a background check and discovered that he might not be a terrorist..during the court hearing the military attorney who was prosecuting asked my friend why he shot the teacher and my friend explained, the attorney then asked "was the teacher wearing a uniform?".....the court erupted in laugher..the attorney had never been in foreign territory and was under the impression that the taliban wore uniforms......the trial lasted 2 hours, and the military dropped all charges.

The 2 British soldiers were there to intimidate.

All British soldiers had been given orders to stay away from the funeral...... Those 2 disobeyed the orders. As bench said, they got what they deserved.

what was the one in the bathroom stall?

the marines wife pic is very touching.  except for the whores (and there are many) i feel genuine empathy for any spouse whose significant other is off fighting somewhere.  i always swore i would get out of the military before i put someone through that.  nothing would break me down faster than knowing my girl would have to bury me sometime.
