‘This Was Not A Concert. This Was A Fight For Survival’: Travis Scott Concertgoers Speak Of Horror Stampede

In the aftermath of the tragic events at the Astroworld Festival in Houston, where rapper Travis Scott performed and at least eight people between the ages of 14-27  died and others were injured, some of the attendees voiced their horror at what they witnessed.

“I was shocked to see people act so inconsiderate and feral,” one attendee recalled. “It was insane to see so many just run others over like wild animals.”

In a report from CNN, some attendees spoke of the terrible events of Friday night.

TK Tellez, 20, stated: “The crowd became tighter and tighter, and at that point it was hard to breathe. When Travis came out performing his first song, I witnessed people passing out next to me. … We were all screaming for help, and no one helped or heard us. It was horrifying. People were screaming for their lives, and they couldn’t get out. Nobody could move a muscle.”

Tellez fell after others had fallen on him. “Everybody was crying; it was the scariest sound I’ve ever heard. … Imagine listening to Travis Scott and people screaming for their lives at the same time,” he said, adding: “There was just not enough people to help everyone … Travis Scott would have a short time in between songs, and we would scream our vocal chords out so someone could hear us but nobody did. This year’s festival will be stuck with me forever. I’ve never seen someone die in front of my eyes. It was horrific.” – READ MORE
