Dozens of other people who attended a Travis Scott concert at the Astroworld music festival were injured, Houston’s fire chief said.

The story is only going to get worse as more information comes out in the next few days.

This is an account from someone who saw people dying and tried to stop the concert, only to be told "gtfo, we're tryna make money here" as people scream for their lives, and drop dead, around her:

I also present videos I gathered from Twitter. Some of these are NSFW, and include medics giving CPR to people who are passed out and/or dead:

    yea I was thinking that too. the performer's mind is on performing, you can't be doing that and thinking about how to make judgement calls at the same time.
