Fans attending a Houston music festival surged toward the stage during a performance by rapper Travis Scott, triggering panic in the crowd of tens of thousands. At least eight people were killed and many more hurt, authorities said.
The chaos unfolded Friday evening at Astroworld, a sold-out, two-day event at the NRG Park stadium. An estimated 50,000 people were in attendance.
“The crowd began to compress towards the front of the stage, and that caused some panic, and it started causing some injuries,” Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña told a news conference. “People began to fall out, become unconscious, and it created additional panic.”
Seventeen people were taken to hospitals, including 11 who were in cardiac arrest, Peña said, and “scores of individuals” were injured.

Houston Police Executive Assistant Chief Larry Satterwhite, who was near the front of the crowd, said the surge “happened all at once.”
“Suddenly we had several people down on the ground, experiencing some type of cardiac arrest or some type of medical episode,” Satterwhite said. “And so we immediately started doing CPR and moving people right then.”

Who’s they? It was a massive crowd rush. People ended up suffocated and crushed.
I guess you missed the part about the security guard who went down with a needle jab in his neck.
At a Saturday press conference, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner suggested the Friday night’s events were even more chaotic than originally thought, with the police official saying at least one security guard reported being “pricked” in the neck with something, possibly a needle while he was trying to restrain another person at the Travis Scott concert.
The security guard passed out after feeling the stab in his neck and medical personnel later used Narcan to revive him, which is typically used to help in overdoses and reverse the effects of fentanyl poisoning.
“They administered Narcan and he was revived and the medical staff did notice a prick that was similar to a prick that you would get if somebody tried to inject,” Finner said. There could also be others who were injected, he said.
it was literally just da woop they were bopping shaking their fat bootay to the music, got out of hand and 8 people died from a mass trampling
because black people are animals, not really that surprising just look at what happened during the BLM riots. Civility is not natural to these people we are not all in this together
Travis Scott is a high ranking demon who used dark magic to pull the crowd toward the stage to crush them for satanic sacrifice, the Kardashian witch coven draws from his power and teaches him spells.
If you look at that second camera angle when hes going "Yeaaaaah" as they carry the body out, he's looking right at them with a demonic look in his eyes. Ritualistic chanting/humming.
