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:

    well it is good that lady tried to stop the show she was just telling that to some random cameraman who can't really make that call. His boss who he could call probably can't make that call either because he likely works for a different company than the actual concert organizers. just bringing this up because Twitter is already trying to "hold the cameraman accountable" when really people need to look at the concert organizers. Goes to show how quickly things can get out of hand with communications break down.
