In 1989 at a Liverpool v. Nottingham Forest football game, there was an influx of Liverpool spectators due to traffic build-up. Thousands arrived late to the kick-off and began rushing into a small tunnel that led to the seating. Police organization played a crucial role in controlling the crowd.
As people flooded the seating, they were unaware that there were already too many fans and pressure began building up, creating a crush in the front rows against a fence erected to keep fans off the pitch. It was virtually impossible to move or breath at one point, and 96 fans were killed by asphyxiation or being trampled, as well as an additional 700+ injuries.
Give that man a cookie!
