00:00It was a moment of what should have been joy and turned into panic and just heart-wrenching fear of the worst.
00:10Hello and welcome to WatchMojo Español. I am G.
00:14Today we will know the most infamous moments in history in which there was a disaster in sports events.
00:21We will explore incidents that occurred during the active competition or immediately after.
00:27Well, I think the biggest irony is that the sun is shining now and Hillsborough is quiet and over there to the left the green Yorkshire Hills.
00:34Disaster in the Gansu ultramarathon.
00:37The annual Gansu ultramarathon was a competition in which long-distance runners
00:41went through the Yellow River Stone Forest in Gansu, China.
00:46In 2021 they had to pass three tests, the 5 km, the half marathon and the 100 km of trail running.
00:54During the latter, there was a disaster.
00:56A few hours into the race, some were reported missing after extreme weather hit.
01:01One survivor says,
01:03The wind wrapped around the raindrops, hitting my face like dense bullets.
01:07The runners were hit by a severe cold front that lowered the temperature below the freezing point.
01:13The wind speed increased rapidly and destroyed some of the athletes' thermal baths who were taking refuge.
01:20Over 1,200 rescuers were dispatched, but a landslide following the severe weather hampered their efforts.
01:26In the end, 21 athletes lost their lives in the tragedy and 8 were hospitalized.
01:32This incident is a public safety incident caused by sudden changes in weather in a local area.
01:37The provincial authorities have established an incident investigation team to further investigate its cause.
01:43In 2023, 7 people involved in the organization of the event were sentenced to prison for not protecting the athletes.
01:50Bradford City Fire
01:52In 1985, what was supposed to be a day of celebration, since Bradford City was crowned champion of the 3rd division, ended in horror.
02:01The team faced Lincoln City at its Valley Parade stadium.
02:05With the score 0-0 at the end of the first half, a fire broke out in the stands and spread quickly due to the wind.
02:13The crowd didn't move at all. They remained seated, engrossed in the football match, almost oblivious of what was happening.
02:22The fans tried to escape through all means, entering the field and exiting through the rotating doors.
02:29However, as they closed after the final blow, many people could not flee.
02:34Unfortunately, 56 people lost their lives and about 265 were injured.
02:40This tragic incident led to an update of football fields throughout the country and the elimination of wooden stands.
02:48The Ibrox Disaster
02:50The Ibrox Stadium, home of the Rangers FC, is one of the most emblematic sports fields in the United Kingdom.
02:56However, in 1902, this Glasgow Stadium, Scotland, was a tragic place.
03:02At that time, the Scottish team faced the English team in the British national championship.
03:08Towards the middle of the first half, the West Tribune stand, which was overloaded, collapsed, and hundreds of fans fell to the ground among the rubble.
03:27In total, 25 people lost their lives and more than 500 were injured.
03:33Although the Ibrox was redesigned as a result of this event, the disaster occurred again in 1971.
03:40After seeing his team face his rival, the Celtic FC, there was a massive collapse on a staircase when the fans were leaving.
03:48With the result of 66 dead and more than 200 injured.
03:52It was an accident to happen.
03:54You know, that was something that perhaps was just about to come.
03:58One of these days, there was going to be a crash.
04:01People were going to get killed.
04:02The fire at the Happy Valley racetrack
04:05While it was under British occupation in 1845, the Happy Valley racetrack was built in Hong Kong to exhibit horse racing.
04:14Every February, a Derby Day was celebrated.
04:16However, in 1918, this tradition became a horror story.
04:21During the event, one of the provisional stands collapsed.
04:25The rubble knocked down food stalls and the bamboo stretcher caught fire.
04:30The fire spread quickly.
04:32It is said that 614 people lost their lives that day and an incalculable number were injured.
04:39In 1922, the monument to the fire at the racetrack was created in Sok Kong Po to honor the lives lost during the tragedy.
04:48Disturbances at the Portside Stadium
04:50In 2012, the tension was at its peak
04:53when the football clubs Al-Masri and Al-Ali faced each other in the Egyptian Premier League.
04:59Some followers of Al-Masri sang a song in which they threatened to kill the followers of Al-Ali who appeared at the Portside Stadium.
05:09One player described the situation as a war.
05:12After Al-Masri won 3-1, thousands of followers rose up against the rival fans with weapons and unleashed a massive riot.
05:22The fans who tried to flee could not leave, since apparently the police refused to open the doors, which worsened the situation.
05:37In total, 74 people lost their lives and more than 500 were injured.
05:42At least 47 were arrested for the role in the disaster, including club officials and police officers, 11 of whom were sentenced to death.
05:56The Hillsborough Disaster
05:58Instead of watching a game between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semifinal,
06:04in the Hillsborough Stadium of Sheffield Wednesday, England witnessed its worst disaster in a stadium.
06:12This has just come into the stadium and it's making its way through a vast crowd of people away to the left.
06:17Shortly before the game began, fans began to fall off the stands and onto the pitch to escape the disaster.
06:25Thousands are now packed into the Lepping's Lane bottleneck.
06:28The police had filled the stands with fans in excess, which caused squelches as the panic swelled.
06:34Over the course of five minutes, 2,000 fans streamed through, with most of them heading straight to the centre pens.
06:41Including those who died years later due to injuries, 97 people lost their lives and hundreds were injured.
06:49Years of investigation finally concluded that the police and party officials had made a serious negligence.
06:57The horror of the Kanjuruhan Stadium
06:59The league is suspended, the investigations underway, the hurt, overwhelming.
07:06After in 2022 their team lost 3-2 at home against their rival Persevalla-Surabaya,
07:13thousands of fans from the stadium invaded the pitch, causing the players to have to hide.
07:19In an attempt to control the disturbance, the police threw tear gas at the crowd.
07:25But that did nothing more than aggravate things.
07:28It was the feeling of disappointment that prompted the supporters to go down to the field,
07:33to ask the players why they lost the game.
07:36That's when the security team moved in for prevention efforts.
07:40Thousands of people fled towards the exits.
07:43Unfortunately, at one particular exit, this caused a massive squelch that left 135 dead and 583 injured.
07:51Several people considered responsible for inciting the incident were tried for negligence and found guilty.
07:59I regret this tragedy and I hope this is the last football tragedy in this country.
08:03A tragedy like this must not happen anymore in the future.
08:07The disaster of Thanksgiving
08:09Since 1892, the California Golden Bears of the University of California
08:14and the Stanford Cardinals of the University of Stanford have faced each other annually in American football.
08:21However, in 1900, the big game was involved in a tragedy.
08:26A group of spectators wanted to save the entrance fee and watch the game on the roof of a glass factory.
08:3220 minutes after the initial draw, this collapsed.
08:36Up to 100 people fell to the ground of the factory, some in the flame oven,
08:41which had a surface temperature of 260 degrees Celsius.
08:45The fuel pipes were also broken and caused a fire.
08:4923 people died because of the disaster and another 100 were injured.
08:54The disaster of the National Stadium
08:56In 1964, Peru hosted Argentina at the Lima National Stadium.
09:01At some point, Peru tied the score 1-1, but the referee annulled the goal.
09:06Enraged fans invaded the field, which caused the police to try to contain them with tear gas
09:13and even fired it towards the stands to dissuade others.
09:17This caused a massive panic and people ran towards the exits.
09:21However, the curtains prevented them from escaping and caused a massive collapse.
09:27The result was the worst disaster in a sports stadium in history,
09:31in which at least 328 people lost their lives and about 500 were injured.
09:37More or less, everybody who was detained was the victim of some sort of violence,
09:43some more than others.

09:58The Boston Marathon
10:00The Boston Marathon is one of the most emblematic long-distance races in the world.
10:06More than 23,000 started the race, half a million spectators along the 26.2-mile course.
10:13However, in 2013, instead of celebrating the athletic display,
10:17the main theme of the coverage about the competition was the catastrophe.
10:22There were two explosions near the finish line among the spectators.
10:26Three people lost their lives and 100 were injured.
10:29Make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this.
10:32The homemade artifacts were placed by the Johar brothers and Tamerlan Sarnaya.
10:37There was a massive chase to locate them and they were finally discovered.
10:41While Johar was arrested and then sentenced to death,
10:45Tamerlan died during the shooting with the police.
10:48Do you know another sports tragedy that we should include?
