How the Travis Scott Astroworld festival tragedy unfolded

Eight people ranging in age from 14 to 27 were killed and dozens were injured at the Astroworld festival in Houston on Friday night, when fans were crushed against the stage. Organisers of what turned out to be one of the deadliest live music events in US history are facing mounting questions about why the rapper Travis Scott continued performing when first responders were already dealing with a mass casualty event. Eyewitness accounts of how warnings were allegedly ignored could be features of at least two investigations, one of them criminal.

  1. Such bullsh!t he didn’t stop the show. I’ve been to some crazy shows in my day where fans tried to rush the stage, almost crushing others. The musicians always stopped it. One that comes to mind is Eminem at a DC show I went to in 2002. He walked off stage until people calmed down because it was getting very out of control. I honestly thought he would end the show right then but once people realized he wasn’t messing around it stopped and he could continue. Travis Scott clearly knew what was happening because he stopped for a minute but then picked right back up. Horrible.

  2. sacrificial ritual, satanic, and demonic. He has to sacrifice someone or cause some type of evil to keep his contract going. To keep getting paid and doing shows and being famous and all.

  3. I was there , as soon as the first song played people were falling all over the place , we started picking people up off of the ground and I look at my brother and ironically I said “we are saving lives!” Because the situation seemed dangerous and it very much was, I didn’t see anyone dead , and it was incredibly unfortunate, I lost all my friends at that concert because the waves of the crown were like nothing before and the crowd was huge , i remember looking to see there was a way out just to see and ,there was no way out. I couldn’t believe how many people were there. It was a fun concert, and devastating.

  4. Travis outting on pretend concern makes my stomach turn. Like he doesnt love the attention regardless of how it came about. Man wasnt even remotely bothered about the crowd situation at the time. Ive seen artists stop their show to make sure people were okay for crying and this guys sings adter finding out people are dead.

  5. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE AUDIO – CURSE/ SPELLS ….ex-witch Julia Lopez in her interview with Michael Knowles -immediately identified this concert as a massive black witch ritual. She said all those in attendance were affected or would be…. Beware of the music listen to as they are spells under the music to make the song open you up to the demonic.

  6. I remember that song with "Travis Scott he kills". Beautiful parody of something the artist can't really do anything about.

    Except buying more security to monitor the crowd or having better fans.
