28 years ago today, 96 men women and children went to attend a football match but never came home. You'll Never Walk Alone / Justice for the 96.

I vaguely remember this happening. Surprised it doesn't get more coverage. Deplorable actions by the police both during and especially after the tragedy.

I was 5 at the time but I distinctly remember hearing about it on CBC radio and my dad explaining to me what happened. Weirdly one of my earliest vivid memories.

It got a lot of attention in Canada and obviously the UK, but not in the US, I guess.

At last, after 28 years, the Crown Prosecution Services charges six individuals involved in the Hillsborough disaster and cover-up.
