Amy Harris, a freelance photographer for The Associated Press, described an “aggressive” crowd atmosphere throughout the day because of the way fans were behaving — pushing and rushing the stage barricades and prohibited VIP and admission areas.
“It was definitely the most chaotic festival environment that I’ve been in,” Harris said. “I felt uneasy all day.”
At one point, she got trapped behind a barricade while photographing performer Don Toliver because about 300 fans rushed the area. They ended up behind the security barricade with her.
“I was scared,” she said.

This video has context for how the crowd was stationed in the daytime. There appears to be an area, for the VIP's near the front that has a lot of room, but probably filled up by the time the main act came onstage. What has not yet been revealed, is where exactly the crush of fans was that caused the injuries and deaths. Was it at the very front of the stage, or was it at some barrier area section before that? Also, did fans jump over barriers to get to the section near the stage? Many unanswered questions at this time.

I see the concern over super-spreader events has subsided. At least among the rap fans.

Why so many would gather to see some jiggy with a bone through his nose is beyond comprehension.

Who the hell is rapper Travis Scott?
The bloody reincarnation of The Beatles?
I would rather be crushed to death at a Winger concert first. >:(

I’d rather attend a concert of jackhammers and screaming leaf blowers.

He's from the Houston area. He's a rapper/rager that appeals to the young rapper/white rapper audience, if you know what I mean. Think EDM for rappers.

With a name like Travis Scott, I fully expected the media was covering this because it was a country artist. They kind of made it sound like it was mainstream and not rap.
Humm.

...or burned to death at a Great White show?
Too soon?

Jackhammers and Screaming Leaf Blowers.
Leaf blowers @Bart Ell
There's more than one joke to be found there and it is almost a great name for a band too.

Humm.
Similar thought, here. How someone can consider rap as music is beyond me. Now get off my lawn and pull your damn pants up.

I have an idea. Don’t attend events run by thugs and attended by thugs.

Can you imagine the smell? I've done security for much smaller events (hard rock and metal shows) and the smell that the bouncing sweating crowds emit is something horrifying unique to itself. And that's just the GIRLS! :o

Ick. Body odor, urine, vomit ... yeah, sign me up. Old people smell on top of all that would be unbearable.

@ItsOver NOT JUST THUGS. Hip-hop has a long-standing fascination with the Illuminati. The Illuminati has been referenced on tracks from Jay Z, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and even pop artists like Madonna and Beyoncé over the years.

What needs to happen now, is for Gayle King to step up and be allowed to interview Travis Scott, one-on-one, in a hotel room somewhere, so that he can have his tearful R. Kelly "Y'all are killing me!!" moment broadcast to the world.
:D

Throughout all the coverage, and despite now being informed, Clueless Cam keeps kneejerk thinking:
"But why was there a surge at HIS show? And I didn't even know he was on the road anymore."

In wake of Astroworld tragedy, Texas creates new task force on concert safety
The state appears to have minimal oversight over events like the Astroworld concert. And some cities are more stringent than others.
https://www.texastribune.org/2021/11/10/astroworld-texas-concert-safety/
“Once the permit is given, all responsibilities are passed” to the event runners, said Benny Agosto, a lawyer representing two adults and two minors who said they were trampled at the concert and have sued Travis Scott; Scott’s record label, Cactus Jack; and concert promoter ScoreMore.
When it comes to large promoters like Live Nation, officials who grant permits often trust that the companies know what they’re doing, said Steve Allen, a U.K.-based event security consultant with the firm Crowd Safety — though hundreds of people have died or been injured at Live Nation events in the past, according to the Houston Chronicle.
> Live Nation is a publicly traded company and answers to stock holders.

I thought it was a meme when I first saw it, but why would McDonald's Corp. link up with gutter-mouthed Travis Scott for a "Travis Scott Meal" ?

The 2020 Travis Scott action figure thought it was a Black Panther action figure.
These days, McDonald's is considering simply going back to marketing its own clown figure, instead of paying for one in the future.
But some critics fear the current rumors that Ronald may be all pimped out, despite retaining classic clown white face.
"It is triple reversed racism against clowns!" said Blinky Pants, of Chicago, before squirting this reporter with a plastic flower water bulb.
It is difficult to take him seriously.
