Music Festival Crowd Surge Leaves 8 Dead and 300 Injured
Astroworld, a 2-day music festival in Houston , TX, was held on November 5, 2021 leading to deaths and injuries. A “crowd surge” is “when individuals in a large group make a sudden or rapid movement within a confined space, sometimes resulting in people being shoved or even trampled… It’s different from a stampede, in which individuals move toward a single direction, often in a state of panic or confusion.”
This happened most recently at Astroworld during rapper Travis Scott’s performance—resulting in 20 people being sent to nearby hospitals, where 11 were in cardiac arrest. In the end, 300+ people were treated on-site, and 8 have passed away.
Concertgoers Call Astroworld Disaster: “A Nightmare”
When seeing the videos of the event and hearing the witness accounts, it’s clear that people felt helpless and fearful during the chaos. There were screams for help that couldn’t be heard over the performances and fans.
When situations like this happen, we question whether enough security measures were taken. How many security personnel were there to manage the 50,000+ people in attendance? Did they have proper barriers to stop attendees from going into restricted areas? There’s footage showing people rushing the entrances to the event, did people get in without tickets?
Herrman & Herrman’s Houston concert injury attorneys are investigating and looking to find answers for those that were injured. Currently, details of what actually happened are still unclear— many people want to know what caused the surge and was there enough security to protect the concertgoers?
