I was browsing the net to look for some interesting news or event when I came to a website that caught my attention. It was so interesting I ended up reading all of the articles. One was the top ten worst sports disaster. To my surprise there were a lot of sport disaster stories. First on the list was the Superga Tragedy. It was on Wednesday, the 4th of May 1949 when a plane carrying the Torino A.C football squad crashed into the Hill of Superga killing all 31 aboard including club officials, journalists and 18 players. It was said that the cause of the crash was due to low visibility.  Among the stories that intrigued me was the one on the fifth spot. In 1985, the Heysel Stadium was the venue of the game between Liverpool and Juventus, two of the biggest teams in Europe. The tragedy occurred when Juventus fans tried to attack Liverpool fans. On their effort of try to escape, a wall collapsed in the stadium. Reports say that there were 58,000 fans on the ground. About 350 were injured. There are a lot of stories but these two were the worst moments in sports. Hopefully organizers and sports official would learn something about these events.
