Moving article.
Reflection:
I was 12yo, watching in Ruddington, a suburb of Nottingham, rooting for Liverpool as a Derby fan against extended family who were Forest fans.
Seeing it all happen live on telly wasnt much fun tbh. Nowhere near as traumatic as being present though for sure, the screen offered a sense of separation from the reality as it did similarly during the Bradford Stadium disaster coverage, when Challenger blew up, and as 9/11 unfolded.
No-one thought to switch it off though and maybe that wouldn't have been respectful in a way, I dont know.
I've never understood how anyone supporting any club can "tradegy chant" about what happened that day.
