Astroworld Festival 2021 Incident
On November 5th, 2021, 10 people passed away while attending the Astroworld Festival that was hosted by American rapper and singer Travis Scott in his hometown of Houston, Texas. Mayor Sylvester Turner stated, "The dead ranged in age from 14 to 27, and 13 people were still hospitalized." The festival experienced a large capacity of festival goers, due to lack of security and people being rowdy and violent with one another. According to The Washington Post, "The cause of all 10 deaths was compression asphyxia." With fans finding difficulties to exit from the violent crowd, many had to wait until Travis finished his set in order to seek medical attention.
