Please lift this sweet boy in prayer. 9YO Ezra Blount was on his dads shoulders at #AstroWorld as he tried to protect him from crowd surge. His dad was overcome by pressure, Ezra fell and was trampled. His family says all organs are damaged, brain swelling- praying for a miracle

Thanks for the updates, @Lexiintoronto !

It sounds like very serious injuries for the little Ezra.
And on a ventilator for Bharti , if she was struggling and couldn't take a breath from the crowd crushing her ... scary.
Or maybe both were trampled ?
Prayers for both of them and their families at this time !

Is this the little one they refer to as a 10 year old or a different one? Anyone know?

Press conference with the lawyer for victim Axel Acosta's family

ETA: This video contains video of previous events, promotional videos, tweets etc. which seem to provide support to some of the lawyer's claims, so I think that it is worth the watch. JMO.

This attorney is a rock star. No BS, just the facts.

What a beautiful child. My heart is breaking for little Ezra and his family. I can't even imagine their pain. Yes, praying for a miracle.

I don’t know the answer.

But the ABC Houston reporter has now posted a story on Ezra.

Hopefully this brings about some changes, making general admission 18+ and having crowds sectioned into smaller 'paddocks' .. ?

I would love a list of all the victims and their current condition. This is really heartbreaking to me.

 

[Snoopster]

The organizers didn't have adequate crowd control processes in place. Simple. They are to blame
<modsnip> they should have been able to rely on appropriate crowd control strategies. They were failed.

So sad that we even need to think about making these things 18+. I understand and unfortunately agree, but it breaks my heart that children who enjoy music aren't able to partake in these things. TS has also brought a 9 year old on stage, so he knew full well that children were at his concerts.

Operations plan for Astroworld festival did not include contingency for surging crowd - CNN

Great. They had a "plan", that addressed everything from a nuclear event to a mass shooting. Crowd control? Yeah, that was in the plan....they just didn't do anything about it.

he markets directly to kids and teens (fortnite, McDonald’s..) There were carnival rides at the festival. He absolutely knew children would be there.

No!! This is so awful!!

 

[Marysmith]

I figured there would be more than 8 casualties.
One of the law firms involved in a suit already literally has a website for a class action suit for anyone that went.

I would not be surprised if there are more deaths. The whole Astroworld Festival is one giant Charlie Foxtrot.
