More trivia, wasn't there a Pope who died of the hiccups?
What a horrible way to go.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Oh f**k yeah. There was a women in America that got killed by sausage dogs.
Imagine that? A bunch of little sausages dogs biting you to death.

I heard like the world record for hiccups is something like 8 years??

How the hell could a person live with hiccups for 8 years???!?!?!?!

 

[Shell]

You'd go ****ing mental.

IIRC the worst I had them was for maybe over half an hour, just couldnt get rid of them. And they were really violent "jerky" ones. It was horrible.

Yeah they're f**ked. An extended jerky hiccup session is just the worst.

That Liverpool thing has always freaked me out. Would be so terrifying.
I could probably handle drowning. Nearly drowned when I was a little kid.

I was in London in 2012- when results of a huge inquest came out- was ALL over the papers. I read so many articles on it.


Was just so ****ing tragic.

Was shocking. Just horrible.

 

[Shell]

And those poor ppl getting blamed for it- the crowd themselves. When it was the organizers/ppl who were running the gates and poor response from the police and emergency services.

 

[Shell]

Was shocking. Just horrible.

I was truly shocked it happened in 1989, like in "my lifetime". I honestly assumed it occured in like the 60s/70s or something.

 

[Spazz Cat]

There was another soccer tragedy in England where the grandstand burnt down.
Terrifying. The whole thing was on TV.

When did that happen??

Could happen any time really. I've been at big concerts where everyone just pushes forward in waves. You can't move.
Would just take one person to fall over.

Look up the Brazen / Bronze Bull.

 

[Spazz Cat]

When did that happen??

I'll look it up. Early 80's I believe. It's a really bad video to watch though. I kind of wish I didn't watch it.

Death by a Thousand Cuts.

Bradford city stadium fire. 1985. 56 died.

I hate crowds. I remember leaving the Australia v Iran soccer match and the crowd was funneling into this tiny space, I think it was next to Punt Road. Felt truly nervous- just ppl everywhere.

I also leave Etihad Stadium 5 mins early or way later, to avoid that "crush" outside. So poorly designed that ****ing area.

Ill look it up. Never heard of it.

 

[Shell]

We're probably lucky that fire at the MCG was just contained in the scoreboard.

IIRC... 1999 or something that happened?

Ooooh. F**k that. Humans are so f**ked.

 

[Shell]

"You're not going to believe this, the scoreboard here at the MCG is on fire." Richmond and Carlton have produced plenty of fireworks at the MCG for more than a century, but the clash between the two arch-rivals on August 27, 1999 will forever be remembered for the most bizarre


Wow, can't believe I picked that year.

I remember that! You think about it back then. All the ponsford had timber seats.
And it's really hard to get out of a grandstand quickly.
