At least eight people are dead after a crowd surge during the sold-out Astroworld music festival in Houston on Friday, the city's fire chief said.
Seventeen people were transported to the hospital after the crush, and 11 who were taken by ambulance were in cardiac arrest, Houston officials said. In all, more than 300 people were treated throughout the event Friday at an on-site field hospital.
Around 9:15 p.m. local time (10:15 p.m. ET) "the crowd began to compress toward the front of the stage," Fire Chief Samuel Peña said at a news conference early Saturday.
"That caused some panic, and it started causing some injuries, people began to fall out, become unconscious, and it created additional panic," the fire chief said.
Houston police Executive Assistant Chief Lt. Larry Satterwhite, who was near the front, said the situation developed quickly.
"It seems like it happened with just over the course of a few minutes —suddenly we had several people down on the ground experiencing some type of cardiac arrest or some type of medical episode," he said. "We immediately started doing CPR."
About 50,000 people were at the event at NRG Park, which was being put on by rapper and producer Travis Scott and kicked off Friday. The festival, which is in its third year, was expected to be a two-day event, but officials said that Saturday's lineup had been canceled.

Sounds like a third world event.
Sludge report? still giving clicks?
You’re giving CNN and Youtube clicks which is worse.
Big anti-Trump guy.
Trump supporters don’t act like these lemmings. Mindless consumers of media hype.
Modern Day “Woodstock”.....only from the really dark side.
Hey, at least no one was shot. Sure, eight still died but no shootings is a step forward for rap concerts.
About 50,000 people were at the event at NRG Park spreading the likes of whatever.
they at least write some thing -
You not only click and spend time on sludge sight but also click on sludge headline links to cnn youtube etc = twicethe clicks to anti american sights= twice as bad.
Eleven people out of a group do not suddenly have heart attacks. I don’t care if it is a large group. Did the heart attacks occur first, and then the panic, or vice versa?
Cardiac arrest from a crowd crush? Never heard of that during the mosh pit era. I could be totally wrong because the mash pit era was not a 24/7 news era.
no masks
From 1974, David Cassidy concert in which a young girl died in a crash:
“Even more cruelly, it was suggested that Bernadette was suffering from a congenital heart defect and could have died anywhere. The fact that her heart decided to give out when she was lying on the floor, crushed beneath several hundred other girls, was pure coincidence.”

They are probably all taking drugs which can affect the heart...like coke and amphetamine derivatives.
Don’t drug up and get into crowd compression panic. Your body may not be able to handle the physical stress.
crush, not crash.
Aspiring rappers
