For anyone who doesn't know the story can I recommend the docudrama 'Hillsborough', it's on youtube.
It treats the subject sensitively, no gore and no pictures of people being crushed. It will tell you all you need to know of what happened at the time and the first inquest.
I know there is someone on MN who knew the Hicks sisters and when I recommended this before was worried about how it portrayed them, sorry I can't remember her name, I know she hasn't watched it but it treats the Hicks family sensitively too.
If anyone has more time then the report from the committee is also online and attached to it are all the statements from everyone who is interviewed.
The ones that made me cry were the ones from people who lived near the ground. Fans who didn't know if the people they came with were dead or alive used telephones in people's houses (no mobiles of course then) but still offered to pay for the call.
And then the day after many of those people returned with bags of groceries as a thank you. That made me cry when I read it. How hard must it have been to go back the following day? Who would even think to go back to the house where you used a phone?
This is not justice, it is the first step towards justice. Everyone in Liverpool should be proud that this day has come, but also aware that some in power will try to make this the end.
RIP 96
