Journalist Joey Guerra, who has covered Houston's music scene for about a decade and was at the concert, told CNN that Scott did pause the show a few times to call for help for attendees in distress. “People were literally dying in front of them and they continued performing and just ignoring the fact that people were screaming for help screaming for their lives and ambulances were pulling into the crowd ?” lamented one shocked Twitter user. Instead, there are videos of fans climbing on top of the ambulance to dance on top of it. The concert didn’t even stop when it appeared that Scott could see one victim being carried unconscious out of the crowd, or when an ambulance tried to drive into the crowd to rescue someone. He told me to get off the platform and continued filming.” “I climbed the ladder and pointed to the hole, telling him people were dying. One attendee posted her experience on Instagram, explaining how as the crowd began to crush her, she climbed onto a platform with a cameraman, trying to get his attention. Videos show unconscious people being carried out of the crowd, while others show concert-goers trying desperately to get the show halted as they saw people dying around them.Ī reported 50,000 people were in attendance, and the incident began soon after Travis Scott took the stage at 9 PM. Social media has been flooded with horrifying videos and testimonials of attendees of Astroworld, Scott’s music festival that was held in Houston this past weekend.
