Authorities are investigating the condition that left eight people dead and many more injured Friday night when rapper Travis Scott’s Astroworld music festival in Houston dissolved into chaos — including a huge crowd surge.
The bedlam erupted at about 9:15 p.m., Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña said, when the massive crowd “began to compress” at the front of the stage.
“People started to fall out, become unconscious and it created additional panic,” Peña said, according to the New York Post.
Eleven of those hospitalized were in cardiac arrest. About 300 were treated at a field hospital at the scene.
The age of one of those killed was unknown. Of the others, one was 14, one was 16, two were 21, two were 23, and on was 27, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said Saturday, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
At least 25 people were hospitalized Friday night, and 13 remained in the hospital Saturday, he said. Five of those hospitalized were under 18.
“There are a lot of unanswered questions,” Turner according to the newspaper. “Over the next several days, several weeks, could be even longer, we’ll take an in-depth look at everything that took place, why it took place, what steps we can do moving forward to mitigate an incident of this kind from taking place.”
