Astroworld killed eight people as hundreds were crushed with nowhere to go. There were 50,000 people in this crowd.
Witnesses described on social media the horror of what unfolded at the Astroworld music festival in Houston Friday night, with some claiming they barely escaped with their lives.
At least eight people died and hundreds were injured during a crowd crush when Travis Scott took the stage around 9:30 p.m.
One 10-year-old child was critically injured, and 24 people went to hospitals – at least half of whom underwent CPR during transport.
“I almost died, and I’m not exaggerating,” wrote Twitter user with the handle RafaRochaJ. “When I managed to get out I yelled at the police, the lifeguards, and those who were in the VIP what was happening they literally all ignored me, I’m still in shock.”

This was a disaster waiting to happen.It will keep the personal injury lawyers in hay for the next several years suing a whole panoply of defendants including the City of Houston who allowed this event and then did not properly police it.
