Thousands of people attended the Astroworld Festival, where Travis Scott performed with other artists in Houston on November 5th. Many music lovers attended the event with the hopes of an entertaining experience, but on the contrary, attendees were forced to endure a nightmare, as a series of negligent mistakes led to countless injuries and eight fatalities caused by crowd surges. Once the headliner took the stage, the overwhelming force of the crowd pressed forward and caused people to trip, become trampled, and get pressed tightly against one another until breathing became difficult. According to reports, many concert attendees attempted to notify both the performer and event staff about the chaos occurring in the crowd. However, the concert continued on and those injured in the crowd were left to fend for themselves.
There was enough distress in the crowd for the organizers, performers, or venue to recognize their responsibility to stop the concert and address the immediate concerns of attendees. Their failure to do so isn’t just unethical, it’s illegal, and the victims of their negligence deserve justice and for those responsible to be held accountable.
