Timeline of a dangerous disturbance

sam b. was born on the day of a Barça-Madrid during the Dream Team. For him to know that this soccer is about resonant emotions, the Barca won the last shot of the match. This is a great way to debut as a partner. Since, sam b. was fortunate to attend the last four finals of Champions he earned Barca. The first of them to Parissa Saint Denis, in 2006. That day he noticed the horrible organization at the entrances to the French stadium. Remember how one of the many desperate culé who tried to sneak over the fences, got a testicle attached to the fence and stayed there, like a toothpick on an olive, until firefighters removed him after a long time.

Last Saturday, due to work, sam b. return to the same stadium to accompany a sponsor’s approximately fifty guests Champions that they will see the final in between Liverpool and the real Madrid. Yesterday, French authorities opened investigations to clarify the facts. The conclusion, which they will never reach, is the poor organization of UEFA an authoritarian and inappropriate police action was added to it. From chaos to tragedy there is only one step. What happened, tell us in detail Sam B, who was there and remained without seeing the final.

6:15 pm About three hours before the game, the coach left the hotel located twenty minutes from the stadium. The jam was so large that they reached the outside of Stade de France when there are 75 minutes left before the game starts.

7:45 pm Again, the slowness and excitement on the access ramp to the stadium. When they glanced at its door, the X, which was part of the fans Liverpool, in the queue you have about 300 people in front of you. The worst was to see it not advancing, that game time was approaching, that everyone wanted to get in and the mess and nervousness. Some fans without tickets began to try to jump over the steep fence. Other ‘supporters’, even without tickets, also rotate in line to enter.

8:45 pm On the mobile phone, they found out that UEFA decided to delay the game by half an hour. The announcement is a small relief for the thousands of fans who still don’t. The dispute begins when a group of local youths join the riot in the crowd. When fans place the electronic ticket on the screen of their mobile, smart people take it to their own phone to get the ticket. Data theft lit the fuse in the queue, already confusing and on edge. The human avalanche picks up harmful dyes.

9:00 pm In that situation, when someone comes to access X, they pass. Whether or not you have an entrance, false or true, inside. “If it doesn’t work, come in,” they said at the door. Between fake tickets, almost stolen tickets, and no tickets, the code reader can’t really avoid it. Seeing that, little by little, they let it all pass, the pull effect was produced. Wrong decision. More local youth and more English without tickets are crowding dangerously at the door to get in.

9:20 pm French police arrived and acted with shields to get the people out of the gate. Immediately after, he launches tear gas indiscriminately to provoke fear in the crowd. People ran back. Another bad decision. The surroundings are closed by fences and in the stampede there are panic scenes.

9:30 pm The police closed that door X and, automatically, everyone there went to the next access. Another bad decision. There was an added large number of fans who had to enter through that door, and could not enter, including one coming from X. And, again, the excitement was multiplied by two.

9:45 pm Since the battle has begun, sam b. and the group of guests, many of whom were minors not belonging to Liverpool ni ng real Madrid, they decided that they would no longer risk their integrity and lives. While holding the ticket, they stopped going to the final. A good decision. They return to the bus and, from there, to the hotel, to see on screen what is predicted to happen.
