At Least 8 Dead at Houston Music Festival After Crowd Surge Causes ‘Panic’
www.nytimes.com
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:

    Don't read the hashtag, it's super fucked. I didn't know Travis Scott was like a Fortnite skin and a happy meal toy, so there were kids there, there's talk of kids as young as 10 dying. There's some reddit post from a doctor who claims there was untrained medical staff on call who didn't know wtf they were doing, lots of teenagers performing CPR on each other, lots of people talking of barely making it alive, a nurse who passed out and once she woke up on the med rent, she was recruited into giving first aid because of the lack of staff, it's just unbelievable.

      ?

      and apparently, the 10 year old kid didn't die, but was injured. And the official death count is still at 8. Although it's probably fake and being repressed by the police
