Default USA: 9 Dead crushed at Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival

50,000 there

Day 2 Cancelled by Police.



Rapper Travis

[8 people have died and scores of people
have been hurt after a crowd surge on
the opening night of a music festival in Houston, Texas.

Panic broke out after the crowd began
to press towards the front of the
stage at Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival,
emergency officials said.

Eleven people were taken to hospitals
in cardiac arrest and eight died.
Some 300 people were treated for injuries
such as cuts and bruises at the event,
attended by 50,000 people.

Local politician Lina Hidalgo, county judge
of Harris County, described what had
happened as an "extremely tragic night".

"Our hearts are broken," she said. "People go
to these events looking for a good time,
a chance to unwind, to make memories - it's not
the kind of event you go to where you
expect to find out about fatalities."]
