Astroworld tragedy: One year later

[@marthalopez64]

BRIANNA R.I.P🕊🙏 May they all R.I.P🕊🙏.My son and his friends were there too but luckily made it out🙏

[@MerelvandenHurk]

I'm so happy for you that your son and his friends made it out alive. Hopefully they were in a place where they didn't notice too much of the chaos and drama... I can't imagine how scarring that must've been for those kids in the south quadrant.

[@marthalopez64]

[@jonathanfray5397]

I still remember travis’s apology. I don’t know why he didn’t speak up when he saw his fans acting like monkeys jumping on the ambulances. The rotary lights were activated which means it would have illuminated the area. His claims of having poor vision is complete nonsense. He could have spoke up & that was the bare minimum expected.

[@daver00lzd00d]

he could see far enough back to shout out a kid who climbed tree at one point. that tree was way behind where all the people died too

[@ceder4696]

@@daver00lzd00d maybe he had used drugs probably because he said your crazy many times wich people do that use drugs. He is known to use psychedelic drugs. Maybe he was in a dream like state. But if he really cared I agree he would help all the people afterwards. I think he simply has some psychopathic side to him and he doesnt care. But I dont think he wanted people to die. Maybe... He also had this phoenix bird wich has to do with rebirth but it can mean anything. Its not his mistake its the mistake of the company who did not interfene when things where going the wrong route. He is partially responsible but you cannot blame him fully. Maybe he feels really sorry about it but just doesnt know what to do with this emotion. It could be anything. These ''demonic signs'' are not unique its used in more entertainment things just because of the cool aesthetics to people who dont belief in god. But I think drake is a religious guy so thats really weird I dont know i think they should investigate it tho more because its something they should not just leave behind its ridiculous these things can happen on a show. We dont lieve in the medieval era anymore or the aztec empire people now have learned of psychology and subconscious and philosophy its something from the past its not cool its really intensely evil to happen because you only live once for as far as I know so life is precious and even if their is a heaven and hell this still means you should never hurt other people they have a past and a future you dont decide how they live their life and when it ends. So I hope some compasation goes to the families and a sorry instead of the video he posted on instagram.

[@daver00lzd00d]

@@ceder4696 yea I am with you I don't think he did some ritual and allowed them to die but he definitely doesn't give a shit and it was clear in that "apology" or whatever it was lol he definitely looked high too you're right. him encouraging "the rage" at his shows has in the past led to accidents and injury and now he's got 10 deaths to add to his hands. I'm shocked people are still booking him for a headliner I wonder how much their insurance goes up for the fest

[@mellamojeff458]

[@MerelvandenHurk]

@ceder4696 There's a good chance he used drugs, the way he acted on stage. And I've got nothing against artists using drugs per se, as long as they don't encourage their fans to do the same (even by example), but if drugs cause you to be so out of it that you cannot adequately notice and/or respond to problems in the crowd, the responsible thing to do would be not to take them. Because that way you're endangering lives by taking yourself out of the safety system. By decreasing the likelihood of issues being spotted. Especially because he had the power to stop the concert, to manage the crowd, to tell people what to do, to keep them calm etc. But under the influence of drugs, combined with what seems like a bottomline almost sociopathic lack of empathy, he didn't take it seriously, not even when he saw the ambulance. When people were getting crushed at a Pearl Jam concert, as soon as Eddie Vedder got notified he halted the concert, said nothing musical was gonna happen for the next five minutes because they needed to solve the problem first. He asked everybody to take three steps back, as a friend, because their friends in the front were hurt. He worked together with the crowd. And they stepped back. At so many concerts artists made their audience make space for people who had fallen down, for emergency services to come in, they've thrown out people for causing a fight or groping women, they have tremendous power. Travis could've told people to get off the ambulance. He could've told people to make space for it. He could've inquired what was happening and finally heard the cries of those who had been calling for help for an hour. But no. Too selfish, too out of it. And 10 people didn't live to tell the tale.

[@MysticalRainbowKaci]

What I will try to focus on remembering are the HEROS who stood up, climbed platforms, lifted/carried strangers out, and held on for dear life to their loved ones, some having to watch them slip from their grip and never return. Pure undeserved hell. I'm still heartbroken for the patrons affected by this tragedy and trauma...the lives lost, the families missing a member...it's unfathomable. And infuriating that NO ONE was held accountable and this sick world was over it and forgot about it within a month. Travis laid low for what a month or two, and was back in the spotlight, enjoying his fame and riches and the freedom they buy and allow him to maintain. I will never ever forget the footage and interviews I watched, the attrocious security stories, the suspect posts/decor/unsettling sounds played during the day that creeped attendees out, and the dark portal theme/vibe. We truly do become the energy of those around us, the music, movies and media we take in regularly...whether consciously or subconsciously. Please be mindful and protect yourself.

[@DeeDerry]

I remember watching this live...U could see and hear the chaos...I honestly thought Travis and his team would really have to answered to this...But he hasn't and no doubt never will 💔

[@tuxievous420]

All those artists are all in a biggest circle ⭕️ hard to touch them since they’re protected

[@MerelvandenHurk]

I hope you're okay and that watching this live as it unfolded hasn't left you with too many scars. Of course it's video but still... witnessing something like that live, even if you only found out later what exactly happened, that's gotta be tough :(

[@robertlauderman2226]

I know you shouldn't be allowed to perform ever again with all the deaths that have occurred at AstroWorld because he didn't stop the show and I guarantee you he knew what was going on around him. And not only what happened at AstroWorld what transpired at his previous concerts before AstroWorld such as a kid becoming paralyzed from jumping from a two-story balcony because Travis encouraged him to do so and then when the crowd didn't catch the kid in the kid hit the ground Travis had security drag the kid to the stage and was yelling at his security to pick the kids to hell up so he could give him a ring it's like what bro a ring is not going to make up for that kid losing his mobility and basically having to change everything about his life because of something you encouraged. So I think with all those things being said and all that's transpired and his concerts he should never be allowed to perform again and I'm glad that Egypt is having his new plane Festival cancelled

[@FukcAUsername]

He has enough money he can payoff anyone that would see to prosecution. He was charged twice with disorderly conduct and inciting a riot but hes not charged after 10 people died? Don't get me started on the kid he egged on to jump off the balcony and the kid ended up paralyzed. He gave the kid a shiny ring after Travis fans dragged his mangled body up on stage though. im sure the kid has no regrets smh

[@feralhomunculus]

I year and no actual accountability for the responsible parties. The city officials who were responsible for this preventable tragedy are still in office. Sure there was a settlement for some but that's not doing ambition to prevent it from happening again. Troy Finner needs accountability! Why is he still in his position?

[@tori-loo]

200k people watching Elton John (obviously a different genre, less jumpy, still dancey though) 4x more people, no-one died I saw Pulp recently, ONE person in the crowd shouted help as they were having a panic attack, he stopped everything for that one person until they were okay, and that's just my most recent experience in a headliner festival crowd, there's no excuses

[@Camille_Anderson]

125,000 Oasis at Knebworth and none of us died either. This clown will never face charges, sadly. He claims to be all about the rage, yet a week after this shit show he was out playing golf with his fellow multimillionaires. He is a joke.

[@DeedeesJourney]

It seems like every single main stream news story i hear on this tragedy treads very lightly about holding travis culpable of anything. Msm must be scared to post the truth about travis in fear of being sued.

[@Dragonfly-vk4lt]

Time to collect that key back

[@siberian_breakz]

I still don't understand how Travis seen a kid in a tree at the very back of the crowd, however couldn't see the pools in the crowd of people where there were literally 🕳️ and the people around them were shouting and waving and screaming to stop. The very minimum that should have been done was to stop the show. There's no way promoters weren't aware until it was too late. I still wonder who those two guys were who jumped on stage and spoke to Travis. He just ignored them and turned up the music. Some people literally acted possessed. How do you not help your fellow man? every person of authority completely let the public down. I pray this never happens again

[@kittervision]

Something very dark was at this event. Something very off about the whole thing.

[@tuxievous420]

@@kittervision they are in the Illuminati and masons. They promote death and evil. All of these artists are puppets and they get hypnotized. If you don’t know why, here is the answer.

[@MerelvandenHurk]

They were already aware it was a mass casualty event (meaning they knew multiple people had died) well over half an hour before the end of the show. Yet the show still continued. The two kids who bravely climbed up on the camera platform to tell the camera man people were dying were ignored. Security and medical staff were overwhelmed, understaffed, and undertrained, but they were at least aware and even they didn't manage to send a message up to the chain of command that actually reached Travis and made him stop. So many of the staff were in places where they could see people pressed together barely able to move their arms. That should NEVER be acceptable, no matter if there haven't been any injuries yet. That's a massively unsafe situation because if one person goes down, all that pressure will push everyone to where that hole has formed and cause those black holes sucking people in. No one should ever have to be squeezed in between people at a concert. So many people dropped the ball. Before this festival had even started, it was already set up for failure.

[@moonlightreveries1459]

Nobody is mentioning the amount of body heat ….from so many bodies. I passed out at a concert from that alone. It was a small venue

[@MerelvandenHurk]

Very good point indeed. Thankfully this was outdoors in November and since heat rises the majority probably (hopefully) dissipated as it rose up out of the crowd, but it must've been a hellish stove underneath the carpet of shoulders from where the heat couldn't escape. Those who fell on the floor would've been able to get even less oxygen since there would've been barely any circulation of air under there...

[@selaineweaver932]

This shit was condoned twice before leading up to the incident, he’s no ‘ artist ‘

[@DeedeesJourney]

Travis is able to stop shows when someone takes his stupid shoe yet not when he sees an ambulance in the crowd or ppl dying??! He deserves to be canceled and go broke.

[@ChristineMHale]

When I was a youngster, attending concerts in Jackson, MS, all it took was one (1) deadly event to change how concerts were handled (at least at that time - not sure what the law is now tbh). It was right after 1979's The Who concert disaster in Cincinnati, Ohio (11 killed) when seating became mandatory. No more ticketed standing near the stage - everyone had ticketed seats. As I've continued to learn more over the years about crowd (mis)management, it seems that the more things change (advanced science & tech, increased safety), the more things stay the same.

[@DeedeesJourney]

We should cancel travis and drake for this. Drake had plenty of time side stage, to see what was going on in the crowd.

[@MeMe-yp9bj]

Just odd no interviews from his Elkins High School child hood buddies, I am sure he could hire some to come to defend his character from back then right?…smh…. After all this I feel that key to the city of Houston given to Jacque Webster (aka “Travis Scott”) should be rescinded by We The People of the City by any & all legal means necessary… then burned to the ground.

[@filrabat1965]

Often people in huge crowds react without thinking, for a number of reasons. Not the least being to keep themselves from getting trampled. Travis and the promoters would do very well to research The Who's December 1979 concert at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium - 11 people died in the rush into the stadium. At the end of that month, Cincinnati City Council passed an ordinance banning General Admission at concerts.

Nah I think it was just greed, selfishness, and a complete lack of any form of empathy and humanity. Don't need any supernatural explanations for it, those are already enough to cause this much suffering. And it's time we recognize it and put an end to greed and teach the next generation empathy, even if they aren't our own children because we cannot rely on those without empathy to teach it to their children.
