I don't get how or why that cameraman didn't do something. He's a backstage person, almost certainly had his phone on him, would have had a contact to SOMEONE backstage, who could call someone until they reached someone who could shut this down. Even if Travis Scott couldn't hear the crowd and was foolish enough to continue with both an ambulance and someone being carried out on a stretcher, there was GROSS negligence happening backstage. SOMEONE had access to be able to just walk on stage and tell Travis to shut it down, if not send him a message via his earpiece thing. There are many many security people being notified later on, the POLICE knew 45mins before this ended FFS! How no one marched in there and shut it down is beyond me.

Reminder for anyone in a tight location that their chest may be compressed: NEVER EVER EVER REMOVE YOUR ARMS FROM YOUR RIBCAGE. Your arms and shoulders kind of protect you from getting crushed and raising your hands removes that protection. I was on a carnival ride recently and my teenage daughter was on it with me the ride was so fast that her body was pushing into mine. I was ok until I wanted to raise my arms and she slid into my ribcage and I couldn't breathe almost passing out trying to move her off of my ribs which I couldn't. Next rides was even faster but when she slid into me with my arms down I still could breathe and protect my lungs with my arms. I bet the people that was screaming for help was the ones with their ribcage exposed cause their arms are stuck up.

Long before Travis’s set began, the people in charge of the festival were well aware that the security gates were stormed beyond capacity by a literal stampede-a serious safety hazard that Travis himself has a pattern of encouraging in previous concerts. Of course Travis didn’t expect a fatal breakdown in crowd safety would ever happen, because crowd safety isn’t something he cares to think about. There’s plenty of blame to go around between the festival organizers, concert directors, and even Houston Police leadership. But the ones most responsible for letting this happen in the first place were the performer and the festival owner…oh wait, Travis Scott was both..

Big head drake should also be banned from ever giving another concert, they have enough money go live in the boon docks somewhere.

He had the power to stop his show. As much as I like to sympathize with everyone, i cant forgive Travis Scott for this. Seriously. You'd have to be so narcissistic to ignore stuff like this happening in your own concert. He seriously could've just yelled into that mic "STOP THE SHOW!"

This show should have stopped when they started bombarding the gates in the beginning. They lost all control at that point

Exactly. What was the point of having those metal detectors if they allowed everyone to rush through them, and didn't clear the facility. The lawsuits are going to be a slam dunk!

He lured his fan's into a death trap and then refused to listen to people screaming stop the concert yes he is responsible for the mass hysteria that continued throughout concert. Travis should be banned from preforming live ever again this is not his first time causing his fan's injuries he was warned already and if nothing is done about it other rap artists will think they can do the same turning it into a killing game of who can take out the most fan's. **THIS NEEDS TO STOP ASAP**

[@hippieJOSH420]

I've been in some crazy huge mosh pits and when somebody falls down you pick them up. I've seen whole groups go down and a circle forms around them so they can get back up. If somebody's feeling like they're going to pass out they get crowd surfed out to the barricades so they can get attention from security and medic. It's not large gatherings that are the problem it is the mentality that the performer or festival gives off. Juggalos that listen to ICP have 100 times more respect for their conduct around each other and at the venues they attend.

[@godisgood00007]

It’s probably the type of people who listen to his music . Lyrics are powerful and the messages in his music are going to match the influence of his music.

[@Hellenicheavymetal]

@@godisgood00007 As a metalhead I totally disagree with that way of thinking. Most metal musicians, even in the extreme part of it. Such as Rotting Christ who Ive met are pretty decent people as well as their fans. They would have apologized on the spot (well they would have definitely stopped the concert) as well as most in the genre with lyrics you probably wouldn't like.

[@mehere8038]

I'm a first aid manager at events like this, I agree with you hippieJosh as to how this happens in general, however, there's a point in crowd density when that no longer works. The crowd surfing out most certainly still does & it should have been happening on mass at this event to get the injured clear, but the circle around the down group etc would have been impossible in this setting. There needed to be additional barriers to split the crowd to prevent it reaching that density! As for the mass crowd surfing the injured out & security reaching in & pulling them out & encouraging the crowd to get them out, there was clearly some sort of failing here & that needs to be assessed! It's really inexcusable that security weren't recognising the level of crush in play & getting the concert paused until they'd cleared the injured! It was likely too many going down too fast for the crowd to be able to crowd surf them all out at a fast enough rate, in really really high density crowds, it can be impossible to even get down low enough to push the injured up & out, but additionally, covid probably played a role, people need to learn how to do that, that normally happens organically at concerts, but pause concerts for 2 years & then put all those newbies that would have learnt over that 2 years in the one venue & potentially there was just too high a percentage without the knowledge how to do this (I've seen that situation at an event with a group that attracted a lot of young kids at their first ever event, they were absolutely hopeless! I had to physically climb into the mosh pit & teach them how to do it to clear the injured! Couple of experienced concert metalheads in my problem crowd & there wouldn't have been any issues all event! - of course metalheads wouldn't have been seen dead there! lol)

[@nolongtinghere]

@@mehere8038 am glad you mentioned this! One of my first thoughts (and I watched the whole concert on yt) was these young people have been pretty much locked up for two years and let loose in this venue! plus the fact that Travis’s concerts are always crazy anyway, wasn’t a good mix! During the show I was watching on youtube, can clearly hear some of his fans saying they ‘wanna rage’ (which is travis fan speak for lets go nuts) and Travis obliged. With no barriers to split the massive mindless raging crowd, was inevitable for tragedy.

[@mehere8038]

​@@nolongtinghere yup & the age of many of them is what I find concerning, because I very much doubt that they were attending concerts like this 2 years ago, so you've got people getting back into the swing of it after a 2 year break, but there appeared to be a disproportionately high number that would have been first time concert goers mixed in there & consequently wouldn't have had the experience to know when they were getting in trouble & those that might normally notice them would have been overwhelmed by the number of them & just sick of kids & just wanting to rage after 2 years locked up, not wanting to babysit. Bad combination to start with, then there appears to be management & a performer that don't care, right at the time when care is more critical than it's ever been. I mean even the 10 year old (now revealed to be 9) who is in a critical condition, who was apparently on his Dad's shoulders in the moshpit. Even if he was attending events like this when he was 7, which I would guess is unlikely, the difference between a 7 year old & 9 year old on your shoulders all concert is going to be huge, so no wonder he ended up coming off his dad's shoulders & unfortunately this was a really bad place for that to happen! If the dad had had concert access for the last 2 years, he probably would have been more focused on his son rather than the show & would have had the chance to grow as his son did, in understanding what was & wasn't appropriate to do with his son in that setting. Just an all round disaster of circumstances waiting to explode 😢

My mom took me to my first concert to see Metallica when I was 13. We got seats obviously, but someone in the pit fainted and they stopped the show right away until that person got help. The person wasn't even by the stage. They can see everything. Travis had all the power to stop it, but he was too self-absorbed to even care.
