I read about it. It seems surreal.
Bodies being dragged out of crowds, ambulances trying to drive through them while everything just carries on like normal.
the show must go on.
apparently loads of people broke in without tickets which caused the overflow and essentially crushed loads of people. horrid.

This article is damning of Live Nation and Travis Scott. Apparently he's encouraged fans to rush the stage or through security checkpoints multiple times in the past.
The excuses that they couldn't stop the show because they feared a riot would break out are insane. Shows stop all the time for people to get help if they need it.

They're getting jabbed in Houston, too. 
Wtf
I had a very low opinion of Travis Scott or any of his fans until now and they somehow sunk lower.

The videos are so depressing. The fact that he's just standing there performing like nothings going on. What an absolute piece of shit. In contrast there are many videos of other performers doing the opposite, stopping the show and calming everyone down.
I see he's done some United-esque apology on Twitter so it'll all be forgotten about.

THere's also videos of him inciting the crowd to beat up a fan. The dude is scum.
This kind of thing makes me wonder, should humans be in permanent quarantine for the rest of time.They're getting jabbed in Houston, too.
That girl's account of what happened is here. It makes for very grim reading. Who is told people are dying and just ignores it?
That is so grim.
After reading that IG post I hope AstroWorld, the promotion company, and Travis Scott are sued to bankruptcy from all injured and families of the deceased.
Seen a clip where dead bodies are getting dragged out of the crowd and this fecking retard is continuing to ‘sing’ after seeing what was happening
Hope the lot of them lose everything because a massive lawsuit is coming

Barriers and crushing, leading to suffocation. You might have thought people who organise these shows learn the lessons of history.
From what I’m reading Travis Scott should go to prison. Disgusting.
But this guy encouraged those without tickets to break in
This is hypernorm thread material.
Also, Travis Scott has history in this type of stuff. He’s previously told his fans to rush forward, push etc at concerts. Hope this incident gets that cretin cancelled.
There's a clip from one of his concerts going round where he encourages a fan to jump off the balcony into the crowd!
He's a scumbag and I hope he gets sued to oblivion.
He should be jailed for what he did. Disgrace of a human.
No clue who Travis Scott is, but he has had crowd issues at his previous concerts?
For those of you out of the loop with Travis Scott, his whole brand is being a ‘modern day rockstar’ and he actively encourages fans to jump barriers, create huge mosh pits, heckle past security and come in without tickets etc. He’s gotten in legal trouble for it before so this was a disaster waiting to happen
Sounds like quite the cnut.
yep. He was charged for an incident in 2018 I believe.
I’ve never really understood why people would want to mosh to his music. Of all the shit he’s being accused of, not stopping the music when he can see what’s going on is the worst.
Put out a video today on how “devastated” he is about what happened to his fans.
Here’s his caring about his fans in action

Initially I gave him the benefit of the doubt and said he couldn’t possibly have seen passed out bodies in a sea of people, but after seeing videos of him actively ignoring pleas for help and stretchers right in front of him, feck him.

Horrible situation. I haven’t seen many videos or read details but I’ve seen teenagers pleading with staff, security whoever that there’s people dead or dying.
Travis Scott incites shit like this. feck him and his music.

Feck Travis Scott, utter piece of shit.
What a little bitch. I have no idea how people look up to celebrities.
Horrible music, seems to be a horrible person too.
Yeah, just checked out his work on YT. Totally shit.
Let’s see if he’s a hard man in jail
Can’t see any stampedes in the footages that I’ve seen of people passed out, and doesn’t appear to have been a stampede as others in the vicinity appear undisturbed. Also the police have said something about people being injected with drugs not sure if it was a one off or more
Travis is a disgusting person. There’s video from 5 years ago that’s now coming out of him encouraging fans to beat up a fan who tries grabbing his leg or stealing a shoe.
There the footage from the weekend of him clearly dancing on, and others of staff telling him something is wrong and he just pushes them away.
It’s really disturbing when it feels like the outrage to Dave Chappell for his comedy jokes is more than the outrage to Travis.

Christ almighty, there was a ten year old taken out of the scrum to the hospital.
A fecking ten year old was in that melee.
GA is so fecking stupid at events where mosh pits, etc. will undoubtedly occur.

I mean we are also in the midst of a global pandemic so you would have thought crowd control, spacing, etc would have been pretty high on the risk register and therefore risks mitigated and managed?
I've worked on a lot of the planning for shows (stadium events, festivals etc) though my experience is UK and a little of Europe but certainly there is normally plans and protocols firstly to prevent something like this but also to manage a situation should one despite best laid plans etc happen - really did not see much evidence of that and for me I would have expected whoever was in charge of the venue to be on stage the instant they knew something was happening - pulling the music and calling for people to move back.
I really cant get how the performance continued both from the artist and the venue management
Lawsuits against Scott already filed.

I've never heard of anything from Travis Scott, I always assumed he was an R&B or soul singer.
What a pathetic man-child
