Madeline Eskins, an ICU nurse who went to all three of the Astroworld festivals, described her experience as madness. Ultimately, it’s difficult to believe that Scott had no idea what was occurring, especially given that he could see an ambulance in the midst of the crowd yet still told the crowd to “make the ground shake.” Some of Scott’s fans have tried to justify his actions, arguing that he didn’t notice the chaos. Travis Scott should have done the same to ensure safety among the crowd. ASAP Rocky, Lil Pump and Billie Eilish checked in with their fans when it looked like people were in danger, asking if passed-out fans were okay. In the aftermath of the tragedy, several videos came to light that depicted how other artists have taken responsibility and stopped their shows to make sure audience members were safe, unlike Travis Scott. Another fan described the traumatic experience as “drowning in a pool of people.” Despite pleas for help and his acknowledgement of an ambulance making its way through the crowd, Travis Scott continued to perform. One fan climbed on stage, begging security to stop the show as the force of the crowd trampled attendees and caused others to collapse and faint. Even hours before Scott came on stage, issues of overcrowding, along with the uncomfortable ambiance, resulted in fans trying to escape.Īs the show went on, mayhem continued to unfold. Even though Travis Scott is known for his hectic concerts, many described this one as being more intense than others. Videos circulating on social media show different angles of the music festival throughout the day. While the design of the festival, the lack of staff training and extreme overcrowding were all factors that contributed to this tragedy, the main instigator was Travis Scott himself, who did not stop the show and instead actively encouraged people to continue “raging.” Ten individuals were killed and hundreds were injured as a large crowd pushed toward the stage.
