The Taylor Report

The Taylor Report was an investigation into the causes of a devastating crowd disaster at the 1989 Hillsborough football stadium in England, where 96 fans tragically lost their lives. The report found that poor safety measures, dangerous stadium design, and ineffective crowd control contributed to the tragedy. It recommended removing standing terraces in favor of all-seater stadiums, improving safety standards, and better management of crowds. The report led to major reforms in football stadium safety, aiming to prevent similar tragedies and ensure a safer environment for spectators.
