Yes, almost certainly, I understand mine is a rhetorical question. And yet the initial tragedy happened because of a terrible stadium design and not because of any mistake by the police. the police only become culpable once the cover-ups start, by denying ambulance access etc.
side-question...
Interesting reading. Thanks toROSM and Bwian for the detail provided. What I still don't understand is why? Why the cover-up? I can guess at it I suppose, but from what I've read above it seems a police officer, believing the fans had tickets and wanting to avoid a crush outside, opened a gate...
