people, like crowds. i never saw nothing like it in my life. after over an hour of waiting you could see the queue behind was really dangerous now, a crash was building up a crush was building up because they had been taking such a long time to let people through with their valid tickets. in searing 25—26 degree heat with no access to a toilet, no access to water. i saw genuine fear for people's lives on their faces. i was scared myself. and i had my 11—year—old son with me who is absolutely petrified because of what was happening. it was scary, ijust wanted to keep him safe. the crush at the ticket checkpoint had become so dangerous, french police ordered it to be abandoned. around 15,000 liverpool fans were now heading towards the stadium.
