Did the liverpool fans cause this? No doubt /sp/ will try to turn it around like we caused it so I'll just start it now...

Isn't about liverpool la so I don't care. Fans caused it themselves
54 dead pakis isn't a bad thing
>>67502492
What is it with british people and stadium tragedies?
>>67502492
Horrific scenes. How can people beat up a man that's already on the ground?
MURDERERS
Liverslip deserve everything they get

Wasn't this caused by their president/ owner at the time?

He was linked to a few insurance frauds involving fire yes.
The common theory is that a dropped cigarette ignited a load of rubbish that had built up under the seats.
The fire services actually use this as a training video now as the response was so quick. It's like 4 minutes to go from visible to completely engulfed.

That video is harrowing.
The old people who knew they wouldn't make it and just burned in their seats. Fucking hell.
Did it not come out last year that this was done as an insurance thing?

This is what I was talking about

Of course, it doesn't matter, because it's not Liverpool.

Yeah, I mean if one of the businesses you own, or have an interest in burns down, that's just bad luck, especially if you own a lot of businesses. If two burn down, you might want to reconsider the fire safety policies at your businesses. Nine means something is fishy.

At the very least it deserves looking into
