Reasons of Tragedy at Astroworld

About 50,000 people were present at the Astroworld festival. All 50,000 people started pushing towards the central stage where Travis Scott was performing. People died because of cardiac arrest and pressure caused by the surge which led to the shortage of air available. Also, there was no proper light in the stadium for the crowd. There was no emergency exit gate available for the crowd. Astroworld organizers didn’t have a plan to avoid the surge despite the crowd surge that already happened in 2019. And if management took the decision on time deaths could be below 9. The age of dead bodies is 10 to 27. All are teenagers and young boys.
