well in a music festivals there is always ambulances going around, something is always happening.

people pass out, people are doing hardcore recreational dru*gs, people get epileptic attacks, get dehydrated, etc... Is absolutely not uncommon to see medical staff running around, or even several ambulancee at the same time. 

Not trying to defend Travis or Kylie but if you are performing or you are in the audience is really hard to grasp at how bad really things are.

This.

what’s with flimsy, disappearing instagram story apologies nowadays?

Travis is not devastated, he saw the ambulance and performed while seeing people doing CPR, it was right near him. He gave no ****. Just shut up. Also Lou Taylor is his manager

Are y'all telling me that their management isn't aware of everything going on with security and safety during the concert? And there was no way to fill them in? No intermissions, costume changes (is this a thing in straight world?), Or even for them to communicate it via earpiece?

Kylie deleted the video with the ambulance but kept everything else from the concert up for hours. My first response if I were her would be to delete all of it. Because the second I find out 8 people died at the concert I'm not gonna delete the one piece of footage that would stir controversy but every piece because to me the concert is no longer a happy memory. It's insensitive, and to act like you had no clue what was going on? She's a multi-millionaire (self-proclaimed billionaire), her security knew what was going on.

Damn this is the worst possible take she could have taken. Truly garbage people

Not make an excuse for her husband who kept playing music when he knew he should have stopped and let at least 8 people die and 50+ people hospitalized. No one would’ve blamed her for what happened, but “we didn’t know?” How ****ing stupid do they think we are?

person who was there says Astroworld team knew what was happening but didn't want to stop the show because it was live-streamed for Apple

Right. I think if there’s any debate/conversation to be had regarding this situation, it should be focus more on crowd safety and rules, how to accommodate emergency responses to mass casualties in crowded areas, and proper etiquette when someone is injured. Stuff like that. 

Seeing ppl on twitter framing this as a “billionaires disregard their fans getting killed right in front of them” incident feels so wicked. like some kind of nefarious, intentional distortion of the truth, and in some cases it’s probably motivated by a preexisting disdain for kylie and/or travis.

This is the most dystopian sh’t I’ve ever seen in a minute wow… how ****ing traumatic for everybody to witness that and beg for help but get none

[RahrahWitch 6,985]

You'd have to be blind to not know something bad was going on especially Travis having a Birdseye view of the whole crowd. But then again, I doubt he cared since he's an all round horrible person.

The event was clearly mismanaged but if he didn't encourage fans to brake in it probably wouldn't have gotten so bad.

Basically, I’m giving kylie and Travis the benefit of doubt. I’m not even a fan of either, but I truly don’t think (or want to believe) that they fully understood the severity of the situation (multiple deaths) during the event and continued like nothing was happening. I agree they didn’t even handle the initial emergency response properly though.
