Highly unlikely that the fans did anything with criminal intent, but the people who died did not crush themselves but because of the build up of pressure caused by late arrivals pushing their way forward as they tried to get on the terraces. Anyone who was a regular at top class football matches prior to all seater stadiums will know what I mean. There was a lot of irresponsible behaviour by some elements within the crowd which put other people at risk.
The cover up aside, the events of the day in question were the result of several factors coming together and causing a catastrophic loss of life. I myself was caught in at least a couple of similar instances where it would have taken just a bit more pressure or for one person to trip to have caused the same sort of incident. If you've ever been compressed in a crowd where apart from your feet you can only move from the neck up you'll know what I mean. It is terrifying.
