Seeing this tragedy unfold on TV all those years ago was truly awful. 😥

Truly awful loss of life, as well as many i imagine scarred for life physically and the additional people scarred mentally.
It made sickening TV too. I remember it and felt sick at the thoughts of those trapped

I lived in London at the time and watched the fire spread in minutes. Incredible that could happen so fast. I can’t imagine the effect of all that witnessed the fire in person.

RIP to them all.
The Gabby Logan documentary was very good. Her father, Terry Yorath, was on the Bradford staff and she was in the crowd.
