In this TWiC Extra, the investigator who finally brought truth to the devastating 1989 Hillsborough crush disaster has some tough criticism for the organizers of the Astroworld festival that turned to tragedy Friday, killing 8 fans and injuring dozens more. In the Hillsborough case, Phil Scraton spent decades working to expose the lie that Liverpool fans were responsible for the deaths. He warns that a similar narrative seems to be taking hold around the events at Astroworld.
