Fans helped to move injured people and body’s away using signs to carry them, showing there was not enough or the correct equipment needed.

Overall , I believe that the  police to blame for what happened at hillsbrough that day. I think that if the communication was better between the commander and the officers they could of saved many peoples lives , if the pens were designed better people might have been able to save people.

The shape of the pen meant that overcrowding was bound to happen which meant that people had to climb over the fence

Police changed their story blaming the fans for sneaking in at the beginning. Then changing to saying the fans were drunk and unruly.
Duckingfield could clearly see the overcrowded pens

The police commander blamed the fans for what happened, the police told the emergency services that they couldn’t come on the pitch as it was apparently a pitch invasion. The police started to become aggressive and started to push people back into the pens as they didn’t want them on the pitch. But people pushed past them. The police realised what was happening and started to pull the pens so that they could help people get out, they were people being pushed up against the walls and the fences. The  communication between the commander and the police was poor as they weren’t told what to do with the fans.

The gates by the pitch were not opened quick enough, police response times were not good enough. Not enough paramedics were let onto the pitch to help injured.
Not enough communication on the radio.
Duckingfield did not care about the fans so he just let them swarm in. The fans where also blamed for it and the police didn’t take the blame for it.

The police had shut the main gate knowing that this would cause many problems. The overcrowding meant many people were being crushed and the police was unaware what was going on which meant they declared a pitch invasion

Too many people were being forced into one area ⚽️ Break down with the communication through the radios ⚽️ Police were pushing people back into the pens ⚽️ The gates by the pitch were not opened quick enough ⚽️

The people were over crowding the pen behind the goal and the police were to blame as they didn’t activate the emergency protocol and didn’t look at peoples tickets and were in shock at what was happening

Too many people, there where clearly too many fans for the amount the pen holds. Not only this there was overcrowding outside and in how did the police not see that a problem had already started. The fans where all going the same way so the police knew that the number of growing fans was a problem yet the police oblivious and let it go on as fans tickets or not. Yet the fans should of just kept pushing in the directed way in the the one stand when if they just thought about it the problem wouldn’t of happened so it’s both the fans and police but the police added to problems. The section couldn’t hold enough or had any more exits or fire escapes, they kept letting more people in, they didn’t check tickets, they didn’t take control, they didn’t get enough help as they acted it was a pitch invasion, the police saw the overcrowded yet did nothing, the pen was just metal barricades and concrete no seats or exits.

The people were in pens that were to small for the amount of people that were there at the time. If the police had made sure that people had gone to the other pens that were on the other side of the pitch, then more people could have been saved that day. The police tried to blame the fans for what happened that day at hillsbrough but the blame lays closer to home with the police, if the fans had been sorted properly then none of this would of happened. The way that the pens were made was a health and safety risk as it stoped people getting out which made people scared and want to get out more, this meant that more people was getting trampled on as they were all trying to get out onto the pitch. The ticket booth wasn’t being maintained as they was checking them and wasn’t making sure that everyone had tickets they were just letting people in without tickets. The emergency response teams weren’t allowed on the pitches , only three ambulances made it on that pitch that day,
