At Least 8 Dead at Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival After Stampede

[Urbanmiracle]

Dude nothings gonna change after this. White bands encourage the same shyt but I bet you won't condemn them. Yall only have this fake outrage and fake moral high ground whenever black people doing some shyt.

It's gonna be white crowds all over the world having riots and flipping over cars because their favorite college football team lost and y'all won't have no outrage about it. Y'all will say "They're just kids having fun blowing off a little steam". Y'all hate to see black successful men and women getting money and being successful. So y'all blow every little thing out of proportion hoping for the worst to happen to them and their careers.

Me personally I don’t have any outrage towards Travis Scott. Race card declined sir. I’m a big fan of his. I got a few of his air Jordans and Nikes and I was playing escape plan all up and down the expressway. People bring up the white bands and all that from the past but the times are different. We are in the age of keyboard activist and wide spread Twitter out rage. So things might change because the internet and social media spread things faster. And so what if I don’t have the same feelings for those white bands I don’t pay attention to? Doesn’t mean I can’t hold Travis Scott accountable.

As someone who has been in a stampede this description is fairly accurate. It was easily one of the most terrifying experiences I have ever had in life and you dont realize how close to death you are until it's too late.

Folks don't realize you literally you have no time prepare. It happens quickly. Something causes the crowd to panic and within a second the pressure of 1000's of people pushing in multiple directions squeezes you and you cannot move or breathe. Whatever position you were in your are now stuck in. I'm a big guy and got carried about 10 feet in the squeeze before I could get my footing again. And your choice soon becomes give into the pressure and die as someone under the pile or fight and try to get the higher ground which means you are now standing on top of other people and pushing back causing more squeezing. You start looking at the people around you thinking its either gonna be you or me.. and the weak get crushed.

I still feel bad about that day cause I was really close to making a decision to step on this chicks head so I could escape. I wasn't about to die at a concert. Luckily one of the metal barrier gates broke under pressure so people started spilling out under the stage to escape. I pretty much never stand in the middle of large crowds anymore though.

Mobs & stampedes scare the fukk outta me. It’s like people lose their sense of self awareness & capacity to act individually, something just changes in a group. It’s like the group takes on its own consciousness.

A lot of degenerates there but I’m sure there were otherwise good people in the crowd that forgot how to help or just simply couldn’t.

The fall out from this is gonna be massive. RIP to the victims

i think most weren’t prepared or even knew what they were getting into

people who had been to 2-3 Travis concerts before (and who don’t do drugs) most likely survived and had fun

I'm an old head, but, this sounds like mismanagement of the venue, more than anything.

#1, with COVID (I swear I'm tired of talking about it) , I'm surprised they back to packing shyt so dense like this already
#2, I'm surprised shyt like this doesn't happen more often
#3, I'm sure changes across the industry coming as Travis a top dog

You remedial ass cac

this happened in TEXAS
How did these fans get checked for guns if they bumrushed VIP checkpoint?

Reading comprehension helps

And those security could’ve done much worse instead of tripping . Stop victim blaming and blame the nerds bumrushing checkpoints for @Another Man

So now I'm a cac because I'm saying security shouldn't be handing out random shoulder tackles and trips.


I swear to God some of yall are legit retarded. Is that what you expect in training? Once a security checkpoint is overrun just start tripping people and shoulder block people at random?

People are being trampled to death and you think security should start tripping people? That's textbook criminal negligence!

Cot damn you fukking stupid.

Keep in mind that the feature artist is on Twitter telling people they sold out but the rowdy folks are being let in and it's cool. There is a reason that idiot started trying to delete those tweets.

Like I said it's about to be lawsuits out the ass here.

Majority of it was mismanagement, same shyt happened before a playboi Carti concert of couple of months ago in Houston

I just now read that post on IG, very detailed. Sounds like it was terrifying. The whole part about how people were just being swallowed into the ground and layers of people is wild to me. RIP to all those people, very sad.

I watched the live stream on Apple Music last night and something def caught Travis’s attention because he said on the mic to let the ambulance through or something to that degree. The show never stopped but he was aware something was going on. I also read a 10yr old died too, what is a 10yr old even doing there? Let’s see how this situation plays out.

Yeah, i don’t want to come across like I’m blaming the crowd either. It’s pretty clear from reports that the festival was oversold to begin with, and on top of all of the people that rushed through security it was a recipe for disaster because the event infrastructure was simply not prepared for the amount of people that ended up in attendance.

This was all avoidable

 

[Dynamite James]

Y'all don't like Travis Scott because Kylie Jenner is in love with him and got 2 kids by him. Name some white artists y'all don't like if it's not about race.

Y'all don't like jack harlow either? What about post malone? What about g-eazy? What about justin bieber? What about 69?

Are there any white artists that y'all also don't like?

You’re an idiot . These white kids love Travis Scott. The fukk you talking about dummy? Eminem gets shytted on daily

 

[NotaPAWG]

I don’t understand why people confused travis kept performing & did the robot while there was folks dying just feet away from him.. this the same whos “friend” had a seizure and he left him. Dude is trash. Never will listen to his music. Ever

Last month I was about to make a thread about “what exactly is Travis Scott music about”?

he’ll have collabs on everyone album but most the time his lyrics are nonsense/Adlib phrases

songs are pretty much 1 dimensional/basic
Subject matter wise

he’s only popular because his shows, image/brand marketability which are all things secondary to the actual music quality/content

it’s all about money not necessarily selling or creating good music

notice everything he does always has some bigger brand/merch collab and event tagged to it
And it’s promoted like crazy

it’s almost like he evolved into a hype creating industry plant

Nike specifically been pushing him hard lately

This is stupid
