Tragic event happened in my hometown

At least 8 dead and hundreds injured at Travis Scott’s “Astroworld” festival in Houston.

The worst of the incident began around 9:15 p.m. when the crowd of approximately 50,000 concert-goers began to move toward the front of the stage, according to Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña.

"The crowd began to compress toward the front of the stage, and people began to panic," Peña said.

The view from SkyEye overhead Friday night showed the heavy police and fire department activity in the area of the event as organizers ended it early. The organizers, rapper Travis Scott and LiveNation, stopped the show when it was apparent that multiple people were hurt, according to Houston Police Chief Troy Finner.

The youngest to have died was 10 years old.



"The crowd began to compress toward the front of the stage, and people began to panic," Peña said.

Strange how something like this isn't regulated better

My aunt was at the deadly Who concert where people died in the same ways. That's from the late '70s, and this tragedy demonstrates the truth that history rhymes.

Sad but true. This event prompted me to look up the deadliest concerts and it confirms it so. Too many people in a single and not well contained place is never a good idea :/

Nope, pointing out the symbolism he regularly expresses.

All 3 pictures have satanic symbolism.

A ritual sacrifice brought to you by you know who. Pop music is the new black metal

Ah yes.. unfortunately a lot of artists seem to use satanic symbols. Eminem is a big one that comes to my mind.

Ezekiel 28:13 suggests the devil himself was involved in music while in heaven.

Rip to the victims. It's inane what celebrity worship leads to. For sure there is something sinister about this event.
