That's a bit tasteless, it got lots of coverage for 2 reasons, one, its not the first in a long line of footballing tragedies, and two, due to the nature of the people injured and killed and the way they died (fathers and sons often go to watch games together), not because of someone's malice, but because of mismanagement.

And that's why I think this event sticks in peoples mind.

Also it could use *80s
