I read that it’s because of fake drug pills? Is it different from the stampede or was it related?

 

This is so sad nonetheless

Yes I find it weird that a stampede would specifically lead to so many cardiac arrests, there has to be something more :huh:

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves. 

Cardiac arrest can be, and is often, caused by serious trauma to the body. This is known as Traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA). What that means is basically some external thing has caused the heart to stop beating due to blunt or penetrating trauma. In a rush of people in a crowd this large, it does not take much to get knocked to the ground. If you're on the ground in a stampede of thousands of people, you will be violently kicked and bashed around and sustain injuries comparable to that of a car accident or falling from a great height. If this continues for a sustained period of time, your body can only handle so much. The official cause of death will be cardiac arrest, but the manner of death would be being trampled. The cardiac arrest is just the body's response to the trampling.

I just saw some videos from the event and who tf was organizing this??? Fans were literally breaking through the fences and running inside like it's nothing?? There was absolutely no crowd control and people were going wild

Also I was just watching a video from someone who was there and he kinda blamed Travis too which is... a big yikes. Apparently the crowd was fully screaming for help and the mess was visible but he just kept going and ignored everything. Obviously we can't verify that based on 1 witness account but that's just f*cked up. 

Update: well there were ambulances INSIDE the crowd and the festival just kept going on...

Adrenaline tends to run high in high energy shows like rap shows. But looks like the security and safety precautions is very poor.  Anyone who concerns this need to be questioned. :bradley:

R.I.P. to the lives that lost.

Don't look this up on Twitter. The videos there are disturbing – people dancing over dead people/people receiving CPR. It's tragic and makes me so mad

I literally live 5 minutes from the festival grounds. This is so heartbreaking. I don’t even know what to feel cause I’m so in shock.
