The daylong Astroworld Festival created by Travis Scott left eight dead. Hundreds left the concert injured. Nothing prepared me for the reckless mosh pit.
Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival hosted at NRG Park in Houston, Texas on Friday took some dark turns. Eight victims died out of about 50,000 attendees.
In a press conference on Saturday, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner shared the eighth victim’s age had not been identified, but 14-year old, a 16-year-old, two 21-year-olds, two 23-year-olds, and a 27-year-old were reported dead. Per a report, 300 were also injured and a ninth-grade student was also a victim.
As an attendee, there was no way that my friends and I were prepared for this morbid news that broke hours after we made it to our homes and hotels safely.
