Gee, a mob of drunk, doped-up teenagers is out of control. In other news: water is wet.

Never went to one of these festivals and never will.

the lack of organization and security at this event is the real downfall. Young kids and drugs are always at music festivals. This Travis Scott culture is to blame as well.

Don't all these big festivals contract out security to the same companies? I mean at the end of the day if a few thousand idiots want to show their ass there's not really a whole lot you can do about it. That's why i'm always super wary of giant crowd events. I've been to a few but they were all geared to.....let's say a generally more chill crowd.

This, but also Ive seen Travis Scott a few times and this happening at his show is not the least bit surprising

I was at the Lollapalooza show where he got arrested for inciting a riot because he told fans to rush the stage

he encourages this type of behavior at his shows

So did they all just OD or were they smushed in a mosh pit or something? Article is garbage and provides zero details.

I've seen a few accounts from people there and basically people at the front were getting crushed/trampled by people trying to get up closer to the stage.

There are a few videos of people being pulled out in stretchers and the concert is still going. Like, people dancing next to dead people being pulled to the ambulance
As someone with no medical talents or a current CPR certification, the first person hitting the ground would have been a cue for me to leave the area.

Not sure if this is what they mean but Scott has been arrested before for inciting his crowds. I wonder if hell be implicated in anything here.

The problem was most people that wanted to leave were physically unable to because the crowd of people was too massive.

I was at a festival years and years ago that had Eminem, everyone kept rushing the stage. Security came out said to stop or he wouldnt go on. Cops came out and said the same thing. Eminem even came out and said the same thing. Took a long ass time for people to cooperate and for him to perform. Its nothing new.

Shoes and selling anything related to him to make money.

i hope he personally faces some severe legal ramifications for this

the main (dare I say only) appeal of Travis Scott shows is how rowdy they get. He very famously encourages people to get as wild as possible to the detriment of basically every other aspect of the performance

he definitely at least partially responsible for these deaths for the way he conducts his shows, its a miracle this didnt happen sooner

I don't think you understand how difficult it is to do anything in a crowd that size.

All of this for a fucking Travis Scott concert

I wonder if the girl in the above video is the same one that wrote this account:

My former co-workers 3 daughters went to this event, I was worried about them when I saw news of this when I woke up but he said that they're ok.

I watch a YouTube channel that documents a lot of trampling tragedies through history and its always such a senseless and horrific event. Its weird to think you can die, helpless, with innocent people all around you.

I would imagine that suffocation played a part in at least some of the deaths.
