Finally, in light of the tragic developments, it was decided to stop them at 16:00 in the afternoon. Exactly half an hour before the time when the football game was supposed to take place, for which the entrance ticket before us was for. Those hours were the peak hours in terms of negotiations and the rescue attempt that were in the focus of the media, in the midst of a canceled Olympics. At the same time, it was decided to hold a memorial service the next morning for the two murdered, who later became eleven.
