32 years ago yesterday. You first see the fire at 1:42, see how quickly it spreads. 3:00 people falling over themselves trying to get out, 3:22 you see some supporters clothes are burning, 4:30 the whole stand is blazing and at 5:55 I feel a bit ill

At 3.40 p.m., a small fire was reported by TV commentator John Helm, but in less than four minutes, in windy conditions, it had engulfed the whole stand, trapping some people in their seats. In the panic that ensued, fleeing crowds had to break down locked exits to escape, and many were burnt to death at the turnstiles, which were also locked.
