Appalling Disaster at Glasgow

COLLAPSE OF 4 FOOTBALL STAND.

23 KILLED ; 391 INJURED.

A disaster of appalling dimensions ©ootirrad on Saturday, April 15, at the International Association football match between England and Scotland, held at Ibrox Park, Govan, Glasgow, J**rt of one of the large stands, Greeted to aocomraodata a hage orowd s col lapsed aud precipitated bund reds of upeotatora to the ground, a fall of some forty feet. The roll of casualties is of deplorable length—4l4 persona killed and injured. Twenty-three of these were killed. Of the rest there are forty oasee of very serious injury, some of them critical, BOKNK OF THE AOOIOBNT Ibrox Park, Glasgow, the ground of j the Rangers Football Olub, is the moat, capacious of any football enclosure in' Scotland, aad was two yearß ago laid on* with all the latest improvements as a sporting arena. Ita notable feature is the huge wooden tereaced stands which skirt the field of play on all sides, giving an amphitheatre-like ap pearaacs to the enclosure. At some points theae stands reach a height of forcy or fifty feet, and provide onlook ers with an "easy and complete view of a «ame. There was accommodation, according to statements by the officials of the Kangsrs Club, for over 80,000 people, and it was estimated that close oa that number were present. THE CBASH On the topmost portion of the north west stand ten rows gave way, and some three or four hundred people were precipitated below, a distance of about fifty feet, " A scone of the greatest con ifasion ensued. At once there were shouts from the falling victims, and then heartrending ories from them when they reached the ground, The ntatsd is surrounded by an eight foot wall 0! corrugated iron. Fortunately iihis did not give way, and some were able to cling on to it and gradually make their way over the gaping space left by the broken beams; Among the crowd that fell was a respectably attired woman. In her fall a piece of pr< jeoting timber at the top of the terracing caught her hat, which was to be seen after the accident. Here there wasi a new, but still mote deplorable, sight. For a time the wounded lay amiStended, bat once the news got •broad a large s^aff of officials and police wsre on the spot rendering all She help possible. It was a shocking sight to gaze at, and saddened the hearts of all near it. Some displayed lacerited faces, and blood flowed copiously from all. EYE WITNESS* REPORT.

An Edinburgh gentleman, who went to Glasgow to see' the match, spent three hours in rendering " first aid" to. the injured. The gentleman ia one inurad to scenes cf suffering. He has seen many pergons fatally iojared, and, curiously enongh, was an eye-witness of a similar accident on a smaller scale on the occasion of the present Prince of Wales** wedding. He haa visited tho scene of 9, railway dieaeter, But. the epeotaole far surpassed anything He had ever previously witnessed in the ghast- Hnesß of the injuries and in the pitiful new of the whole seen* 1. Knowing tho ground wel', the gentleman referred to make his way along behind tho ter racing in order lo reach Ihn western aide of the field. Juat as he reached tho place the accident o:narrcd. To him it came without the slightest warning, A loud double report, as if two guns bad been fired almost Eiraultaneoosly, waa heard, and down crashed the heavy timbers, carryir.g with thrtn their human burden. Many scores of men and youths fell at tho fit at c-a*h,tU4ny more toppled almost immediately through the huge ho!e From the wel ter of wounded humanity went op a wail of anguish an-! tuff 1 i ig—drowned In an instant by the huzz-ud^i of the thousands of excited spectatorf-j no coneqious of the tersible cstasirophe -which had taken pkee almost at their feot. Overhead were the cheering multitudes, delighted with some fav ourite's cleverness j beneath were hun dreds of poor mortals, some dead, many dying, still more wounded and maimed for life. Surely pleasure and sorrow feave seldom been brought together in more ghastly contrast. The limited few who were eye-witn^flsea were dumbfounded for an instant, but soon many willing workers were doing what they could to minister to the injured. First of all, a galvanised iron fence had to be torn down in order to gain ad raittance to the place where those who had fallen were lying. Several doctcn a and ambulance waggona were on the scene, but in face of such a disaster even their herculean efforts seemed pun)'. Fortunate'y, * large proportion of the injured required little immediate assistance ; their wounds were super ficial, Others, however, were in hope less plight. At least two Lad been killed instantaneously. In the work of rescue heavy beams which were pinning injured men to the ground had to be cleared away ; the helpless had to be dragged from the struggling mass; others clinging to cross beams, ten and even twenty feet from the ground, had to be rescued from their perilous position. The wounds ia many cases were indescribably ghastly. Limbs were broken or almost torn from theif sockets; heads were braised and faces lacerated; and, worst of all, » large proportion had sus tained spinal or internal injuries, the nature and extent of which it waa impossible at the time to ascertain. Doors and planks were hurriedly im provised as stretchers ; handkerchiefs, Bcarfs, and even skirts were torn into bandages. So far aa possible, the most serious cases were dealt with first, and sent o& to hospital in brakes and cabs. One brake alone carried about 30.

All this time the match waa pro ceeding, and every now aod again the cheering grated on the ears of those engaged in tending the wounded, Afc the sum©.time it; was recognised by the gentletnam in question— and he haß large experience—that to have stopped the match would have been to make the situation ten-fold more dangerous, For one thing, a riot would almost certainly have taken place. Panic ■would have been created if the extent of the disaster bad been realised, and possibly a calamity even greater mie-ht Ibuu have been brought about,

In any case, the work of the medical' attendants difficult as it was in any case, would hive been practically im possible nmul « throng of hysterically anxious friends. Gradually it came to be known that many persons were in* jured, and friends with blanched faopfi besought th<" doctors to giv« immediate attention to thia or that sufferer. Some of the onlookers, with more setl than ' discretion, aought to dose the injured with ppirite. Others »gaio showed a callous indifforenep, and persisted in clambouring Into places which, in the light 0! wliat had happened, wero ludic rously unsafe, For throe hours the work of succour weot on. The pelioe hful drawn » strong concord behind the terracing, end the space thus in closed was literally covered with wound ed, To get to one paVent, the medical men had to step over the other, Ve hicle »fter vehicle wts sent off to thfl hospitals with little apparent eftect of diminishing the number of injured,,
