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

That is privileged medical information.

I think we need to allow families of all of these injured people the privacy to deal with this horrendous situation and the privacy to avoid having the intrusions of media and nosy people like us wanting to find out details that are extremely difficult.

Suffice it to say the HPD said that there were 13 still hospitalized, 5 of which were under 18.

That can't be done, due to patient confidentiality, unless they allow it, or their parents if they are minors.

I didn't know this guy was Kylie Jenner's SO. Good grief.

Did Astroworld Attendees Get Stabbed With Drugs? Not Likely
by Manisha Krishnan
''Houston police spokesman Victor Senties told VICE News the department will not be providing any additional information on the drugging theory Monday but stressed the theory hasn’t been confirmed.

“We haven’t confirmed anything,” he said. “We still have an active ongoing investigation into that. You’ve got to understand we’ve got thousands and thousands of people that were out there, so there’s still a lot of work that needs to be done.”

Attendee and ICU nurse Madeline Eskins told Rolling Stone she didn’t see anything that would suggest people were being stabbed with drugs.

“They’re trying to blame drugs. And I will level with you: I don’t think this was caused by drug use,” she told the magazine. “Could it have been a contributing factor? Sure. Will they find drugs in the bodies of those passed away? Maybe. But people were getting suffocated. People were getting trampled, a lot of these trauma-based injuries. One dude had his face smashed in. He was bleeding from his nose, face, and mouth, which I guess drugs can cause, but so can getting trampled.”

Astroworld Festival victim's family says they found out about his death on the internet


"The way they found out about this is horrific," the family's lawyer said.

HOUSTON — Axel Acosta, the 21-year-old who loved rap music and traveled from Washington to attend Astroworld Festival, was one of eight people killed during the event Friday.

Axel's father, Edgar, described him as a great kid, an excellent student and someone who loved his family dearly, especially his grandparents.

I am horrified with everything that happened and the horrific slow deaths that occurred.
All the ones that trampled Axel and the others to death are getting away with murder, they are never going to be caught and held accountable.

Kim Kardashian West Says She Is 'Absolutely Heartbroken' for the Victims of Astroworld Tragedy

"Absolutely heartbroken for the lives who were lost and anyone who was hurt at Astroworld," Kardashian West, 41, said in a statement shared on her Instagram Story Monday.

"Just like all of you, our family is in shock by the tragedy," she added. "We are keeping all of the victims, families and loved ones impacted in our prayers for healing – as well as Travis who we know cares so much about his fans and is truly devastated."

bbm. She really could have left that part out, just like Kylie should have. I’m irrationally angry that they keep expressing how terrible they feel for TRAVIS. He is not a victim here!!

Astroworld disaster fuels wave of satanic conspiracy theories on TikTok
''Videos of the Astroworld crowd crush that killed eight people flooded TikTok over the weekend. But conspiracy theories have also flourished alongside the graphic footage, accusing the rapper Travis Scott, who founded and performed at the festival, of orchestrating a massive satanic ritual.

“This ain’t a festival, it’s a sacrifice,” reads one typical comment. “The music industry is demonic and collects souls,” reads another comment with 34,000 likes.

Despite its absurdity, the theory has steadily gained traction – with phrases such as “astroworld demonic”, “astroworld illuminati” and “astroworld upside down cross” trending among other AstroWorld content on the platform.

Experts say the viral misinformation illustrates how young social media users are increasingly susceptible to fringe conspiracy theories, despite their reputation as savvy “digital natives”.

''Evan Pond, of Simcoe, Ont., said he travelled by himself to Texas last Wednesday to attend the sold-out concert at NRG Park. The 16-year-old had arranged to meet two friends there to see rapper Scott and others perform.

"Security wasn't doing much to begin with throughout the whole day," Pond told CBC Radio's Metro Morning. "A lot of people I talked to after the show, we all feel that they could have done a lot more."

"In some parts of the crowd, you would have people passing out, left, right. You would see people stacked up, on the floor, passed out. There's people coughing up blood, there's people puking. There are medic vans trying to get through. There's people jumping on them. It was crazy," Pond said of the scene.

When Toronto rapper Drake came on stage for a surprise performance, Pond said he was pushed down onto the ground for one or two songs. He said he found it hard to breathe, but was not injured. He was eventually able to get back up.

"I thought I was going to die; I can't lie to you. Yeah, it was really hard to breathe and It was really scary. I don't usually cry, but I was full-on crying like crazy," Pond said.''

"When you're paying for your ticket, you're paying to be protected. As well as the performance and everything, you're paying for your health and security," he said. "Personally, I felt like it was understaffed."

Maybe he’s suicidal. We don’t know. I know he’s done some problematic things that didn’t help this mass casualty event at all and very likely contributed to it, and the rest of the Kardashian’s posting ads and and thirst traps right now is truly disgusting, but some of the vitriol and hate comings towards Travis is disturbing for sure as well.

 

[Spyralflare]

It’s such a different world now from when I was young, thanks largely to social media. I went to my first concert at age 12, with 3 friends and 2 moms. Assigned seating. If the singer had made any references to audience members taking drugs or drinking, much less rushing the stage or “raving,” our moms would have hustled us out of there immediately. I’m sad that it seems to be the norm now for kids under 18 to be at concerts where this goes on.
Hoping those fighting for life from this all survive.

I had to look up thirst trap. It's basically attention getting *usually* of a sexual nature. Now you know.

That can't be done, due to patient confidentiality, unless they allow it, or their parents if they are minors.

I didn't know this guy was Kylie Jenner's SO. Good grief.

They could say the number of people in each condition as long as no identifiers were listed with them (Protected Health Information, ie name, address, phone, SSN, etc.) They could say 3 minors in critical or 3 in critical, 2 stable things like that.. Just nothing that someone can use to go and find their personal data.

Drake breaks silence on ‘devastating tragedy’ at Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival

“I hate resorting to this platform to express an emotion as delicate as grief, but this is where I find myself,” he wrote in a social media statement Monday night.

“My heart is broken for the families and friends of those who lost their lives and for anyone who is suffering. I will continue to pray for all of them, and will be of service in anyway I can. May God be with you and bless you all.”

The Grammy-winning rapper took to the stage alongside 30-year-old Scott at NRG park in Houston on Friday as a surprise guest for the multi-day music festival. Authorities said fans started to surge toward the stage a short time later around 9:15 p.m., causing widespread panic among the crowd of 50,000 people.

Not sure if it has been posted, but CNN has the safety plan version 0.1 posted.
Here's what the operations plan for the Astroworld Festival included and didn't include - CNN

Paul Wertheimer, founder and president of Crowd Management Strategies, told CNN the industry knows the dangers of crowd surge. He said you need a specific plan to deal with the potential of crowd crushing.
"It doesn't even really appear in what is the equivalent of the Astroworld's crowd management plan," he said. "There's no reference to crowd surge, crowd crush, crowd panic. there's no reference to the front of the stage and festival seating crowd. And therefore, there's no specific emergency planning for a mass casualty crowd crush event."

"Based on the site's layout and numerous past experiences, a Security Plan has been established to help mitigate potential negative issues within the scope of the festival," the document states. "The potential for multiple alcohol/drug related incidents, possible evacuation needs, and the ever-present threat of a mass casualty situation are identified as key concerns."
Among the scenarios addressed in the plan are incidents involving an active shooter, severe weather and a possible riot or civil unrest. The PDF obtained by CNN is marked Version: 0.1, and it is unclear whether it was the final version of the plan and when it was drafted.

Kendall, 26, also released a statement on Monday night via her Instagram Story.

I'm still at a loss for words over the news from Astroworld," she wrote. "I'm truly broken for the families that have lost loved ones and my prayers go out to everyone involved."

She continued: "Sending everyone who has been affected all of my love and wishing them strength during this incredibly devastating and sensitive time."

The star previously shared a photo from the event but has since deleted the post, which garnered backlash when she changed the caption after the incident. After the tragedy on Friday night, Jenner updated the caption and simply put a mountain top emoji in reference to the rapper's stage called Utopia Mountain. At the time, users in the comment section quickly called out the runway star for even keeping the photo on her page in light of the loss of life.

We know about these 2 victims, a child and a young adult, who are currently fighting for their lives. They are both in dire condition.
