Bradford Football Disaster - Raw Footage

submitted by bleedmegood

1 decade 4 years 4 months 1 week ago

The Bradford City Fire Disaster occurred on Saturday 11 May 1985 when a flash fire consumed one side of the Valley Parade football stadium in Bradford, England.

The fire broke out during a football match between Bradford City (the home team) and Lincoln City, on the day that Bradford City were supposed to have celebrated their winning the Football League Third Division trophy. A total of 56 people died and more than 265 others were injured.

This is raw footage from the Bradford football disaster. Most of you have seen some footage of it, mostly in tributes and other compilations. This is pretty rare and raw footage from that tragic day.

It was incredibly disturbing to see that one man on fire. He moved and indeed looked as though he was resigned to his death. If 56 died that day I would have to wager, sadly, that he was one of them, considering how much of him appeared aflame.

Sad stuff.

I was just about to post this myself. What sickens me about this is all the people smiling and cheering as if it's something to celebrate. I wonder if they were still celebrating when their own friends were burning alive.

Once I saw the fire spread so quickly, I would be concerned that I would not be able to get out of the stadium in time. I don't understand why people are laughing and cheering when it's clear their lives are in jeopardy.
