On April 15, 1989, during an FA Cup semi-final match at the Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, a tragic disaster occurred that claimed the lives of 96 Liverpool fans. The team Liverpool was playing against that fateful day was Nottingham Forest. The Hillsborough Disaster remains one of the darkest days in the history of English football. The match was initially scheduled to take place at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough Stadium, but due to overcrowding in the Leppings Lane end of the stadium, chaos ensued, leading to a fatal crush in the stands. The tragedy resulted in a significant loss of lives and left a lasting impact on the families of the victims, as well as on the city of Liverpool and the football community as a whole. The events of that day led to a series of inquiries, investigations, and legal proceedings to determine the causes and the parties responsible for the disaster.
