Hi there folks, it's Mike and welcome to Mike's editorials. What makes a impactful historical picture? Think about it, there's been so many throughout history, famous snapshots all over the world of famous disasters and events like Tigban, the Hindenburg, and 11. Those are very impactful. Some may room, some may not. You might have learned in class, you may have looked online and said, oh, that's an impactful picture. But here's a video that I'm going to present to you of making all about a event that is very underrated and has a very impactful image in my opinion. This is the Hillsbrough disaster. 15th, 1989. During the 1988-89 FA Cup semi-file game between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, the event was filled with supporters to ease the case of overcrowding exegate sea was ordered to be opened by the police chief superintendent. It made matters worse, with even more supporters to the already crowded Hillsbrough Stadium. Because of this, this resulted with 96 casualties and 766 injured. It is the worst disaster in British sporting history and remains one of the worst recorded football disasters worldwide. In the mix of that, here's this picture that was taken. As you can see, there's lots of people in the stadium here. It may look like they're falling, which someone could look at this and totally get the context wrong. Instead, this shows the generosity and kindness of people as people from the back and the bring people up from the overcrowding of all these people in the stadium coming in through the fences. This is the part of the disaster that does not get remembered much. This picture is complex on so many levels. It has so many details. Sure, it's in a public place and there's lots of people in it, but you look at all the faces and all the actions that's happening in the picture. Like I said before, it's about the people from the balcony pulling people up from the overcrowding. There's one right there that's pulling a guy up in the red jersey. Right next to that is two people pulling up a female. Then you see one down here. A guy having his arm rising up to reach to be pulled up. I could list tons more because this picture has so many details. It is just... Wow. So, it's like, it's just keeps stacking up. There's so many things you can look at in this picture. Oh. I forget to mention about this guy here. This big, massive, yellow advertisement banner in the middle of it all. I mean, that's the big giveaway. It's in a sports stadium in the UK. You gotta have some advertising thing in the stadium. So there it is. And it's a company back in the 80s. I mean, go buy it. Money, money, money, money. Sponsorships. Great for business. To me, this photo leaves a huge impact on me. It should be iconic. More people should be aware of this disaster of his breath, V9. It's astounding. This photo does it right and represent the disaster very well. It shows the struggles of it all as it happened. I believe... I believe there's more details in a picture like this. The more stories and historical reference you'll get out of this, you probably predict or try to guess what the story behind all these individual stories, these people are. But if there's less details, it's not that complicated. It's less complex. I mean, it's so simple. We're so into simplicity. I'm just not into it anymore. You need more complex stuff. And this picture has complexity to the max. I love it. I like to think about individual stories of these people pulling people up, seeing the kid in the background, like looking at like, what's going on here? What's going on? It makes me think every time I look at this picture, it is a great picture that is worth to be talked about in history. There should be a sports history class for crying out loud. This is a historical sporting event that should be talked about. More sports history should be talked about. This was a massive one for Britain. Hopefully you will want to know more about this. There's a couple of things you should check out if you want to know more. There was a 1996 Daki drama that was made out of it. And recently there's been a documentary that was made. So definitely check those out. Definitely worth your time because this event is phenomenal. It's just one of those events that I won't forget ever and hopefully you won't too. Otherwise yeah, thanks for watching. I'm Mike and this has been Mike's Editorials. Adios amigos.
