During a press conference on Friday night, Peña said a"mass casualty" event occurred at 9:38 p.m. local time at NRG Park, with an estimated 50,000 people in attendance. He said trouble began shortly after 9 p.m. when"the crowd began to compress toward the front of the stage and that caused some panic and started causing some injuries. People began to fall out and become unconscious and that created additional panic.

The fire chief added on Saturday morning that authorities"still don't know what caused the initial surge of crowd up toward the stage, but the Houston Police Department is looking at video that was taken from cameras that were present there for security purposes and other reasons."

Astroworld 'Had More Security' Than the World Series, Houston Mayor Says After TragedyHouston Mayor Sylvester Turner has shared a statement following the tragedy at Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival on Nov. 5. Travis Scott kept playing during the crush like a heartless monster concerned with making money by trying to complete his concert. He should be banned from Houston. This is horrific! There should be crowd control particularly during a pandemic. There should never have been this big of a crowd for numerous reasons. I feel this is very irresponsible!!!! The fact that Travis couldn’t even be bothered to pen his own statement after people literally died, and just told his publicist to put something out… that will tell you how much he cares about his own fans

Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival in Houston Leaves 8 Dead, Hundreds Injured After Friday Night Crowd PanicTragedy struck Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival in Houston as crowd surges during his Friday night headlining set left 8 dead and over 300 injured, according to Houston officials. 50,000 fa… Jail era coming soon I totally feel like the fire department should have shut down the show due to over capacity. Why didn't that happen, HoustonFire? We need to bring attn. to the fire department because it is their job to make sure concerts stay at a safe capacity. ASTROWORLDFest Wait. This is a weird headline. How did these people die? The festival killed them? Does this festival have a record? Has this Mr. Festival been arrested in the last? And his weapon was a 'panic'? Is this a type of knife or firearm? I suppose a real news site had the story.
