Only the semi-finals and finals were shown live, and free of charge.
Only knew the real situation the next day. What a disaster.

actually, if u looked more closely, u would have seen a fan who climbed over the fence. he was really panicky when he ran to steve mcmahon to tell him the severity of the problem. that was when mcmahon ran to kenny dalglish to pass the cryptic message. right after, the teams were withdrawn in the hope that the mad rush to catch the game would stop. alas, it was all too late.
witnessing hillsborough (the other being the man who singlehandedly stopped a column of tanks from entering the tiananmen crackdown) shaped my whole life and principles.
