The full concert from the Apple stream is around Youtube and you can tell from 49 minutes in he sees the ambulance (which looks like just a cart going through the crowd) He pauses for a few seconds and then continues again despite the fact 2 brehs from his entourage come out to tell him something is up (and then they dive into the crowd).

At 1:01:30 he sees the one dude pass out and asks for security (but hes stupidly keeping the movement doing and saying yeah into the mic. I presume his stupid ass was thinking dont halt the vibe and alarm people....too late for that )

I seen on CNN and Local Houston news there was that one concert goer who was a nurse in training and when she was helping, a lot of the staff didnt know how to do CPR training

So this looks like its gonna fall on LiveNation first and foremost and whoever hired and ran staff. Saw other video of how the security was tossing people at the gate and looked uprofessional and now the stories of them being unable to adminster CPR correctly. Plus who drives a golf cart slowly into a packed crowd. Whoever was backstage should have told Travis to stop too. I dont know if I beleive the needle story, needs full proff. But this is the staff's fault mostly

I agree, all Travis has to do is show up

He isn't responsible for logistics, the venue is supposed to take care of that

This whole ordeal is terrible. I think Scott could have done more to stop the show, but in all fairness that's on the crew to give him the information. LiveNation failed something terrible. From all accounts, it was too many people, not enough EMTs, not enough exit pathways and general chaos. I'm gonna be for real, having worked in media production, if a random ass girl and her friend hopped on a camera platform screaming bloody murder, I'd at least let my producer know. They were NOT gonna let that Apple stream drop for shyt.

Also, general admission concerts are ASS. People turn into animals, nothing about that venue looked fun or comfortable.

daaamn:hhh::francis::dwillhuh: trav fd up :snoop:

It's a pandemic and all these people at a festival.

On top of that, people get fukked up and pass out all the time at these shyts... Especially a Travis Scott concert. This is all unfortunate, but unless Travis Scott and his team is responsible for hiring the venue's staff, the authorities/cops who were there, how is it all his fault?

Over his career, he's probably seen wild shyt at every show he's done, expecting him to stop while in the moment is unrealistic imo.

This shyt is a clear error in staffing and preparation, which is on everyone involved not just Travis.

With that said, this nikka only going to be doing concerts in the metaverse after this shyt. Going up be a huge black eye on his career, and looking at the backlash he is currently getting and his history from previous incidents at other shows, the public and media are going to analyze his moves following up on this with a microscope.
