On Friday, November 5, Travis Scott’s  Astroworld Festival was a complete disaster that left several people in critical condition. Mothers held their children up in the air so they would be able to breathe and others were trampled while begging for help.

Several other things were wrong with the concert as well. People were dancing on the ambulances that were there to help people, at least eight people died, a ten-year-old was severely injured during the concert, and the singer, Travis Scott, did not even stop the concert. 

“I think it was an accident that could have been easily prevented,” Preston Foster, seventh-grader, said.

The Travis Scott concert tragedy could have been prevented, but it was not. Some concert attendees pled for help while others were harming people, including children.

“I think that was that it was wrong of the crowd to stomp on people just to move toward Travis. I also think that the whole thing was an accident,” Kinlee Hawk, seventh-grader, said.

During the concert, people were putting their children in the VIP section to do anything possible to help their children while the VIPs were upset that the extra people were in their section, without paying. 

“I think that the accident could have been prevented if the cameramen would have paid attention to all of the people listening to the concert yelling that people were dying,” Brooke Pope-Taylor, seventh-grader, said.
