Phil Scraton Talks Astroworld: Lessons from Hillsborough

But were the media also not falsely reporting that Liverpool fans were peeing on bodies- I mean it was just like- are robbing the bodies.
What happens when a festival turns into a nightmare? In this episode, Trish Wood sits down with Phil Scraton, the investigator who unearthed the truth behind the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, to dissect the tragic events of the Astroworld festival. Scraton, renowned for his relentless pursuit of justice for the Hillsborough victims, offers a sobering analysis of Astroworld, where eight fans lost their lives and many more were injured.
He draws unsettling parallels between the two events, warning that similar misleading narratives are emerging. The conversation dives into the mechanics of crowd disasters, the accountability of event organizers, and the emotional toll on survivors and families. Trish and Phil also tackle the media's role in shaping public perception and stress the need for rigorous questioning in the aftermath of such tragedies.
If you're looking to understand the deeper implications of the Astroworld incident and the importance of media scrutiny, this episode is an eye-opener.
