A raging crowd of amped-up concertgoers became a deadly wave of humanity when rapper Travis Scott performed for 70 minutes last week and nine people died. Those in the throng described the scene:http://apne.ws/EnDzIe2

“I gotta get out! I gotta get out!” Ariel Little cried, her chest throbbing under the crowd’s crush. “If I fall, you’re going to get trampled,” Michael Suarez told himself. “I’m going to die in here,” Stacey Sarmiento thought as she tried to escape. http://apne.ws/RCZyxC7 pic.twitter.com/YARz7JjhYc

It felt to some as if it couldn’t get worse, but another rush was coming. Fifty-two minutes into Scott’s set, superstar rapper Drake appeared on stage, a surprise that sent the crowd again pushing.http://apne.ws/cwR8DLu

"Make it home safe." After 70 minutes, Travis Scott left the stage. The crowds receded. In a medical tent built to hold 10, the gurneys began to fill.http://apne.ws/RCGgd0R

I've attended over 215 concerts between 40k-80k capacity venues. No one died. Did see the band stop playing and tell everyone to take 3 steps back before they would continue. People did. 50,000 people. A good time was had by all. That's responsible entertaining.
