Engineer was too scared to ask boss to make changes to Hillsborough stand, inquest hears

A structural engineer has denied he was among “a number of people” who were trying to distance themselves from knowing there were potential safety problems at Hillsborough before the 1989 disaster.

John Strange told the inquest into the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans that he was opposed to a number of changes to the stadium layout in the 1980s but admitted he did nothing at the time.
