The Astroworld promoter Scoremore told staff to call dead fans "smurfs," per a planning document.
The document also instructs event staff members to never say "dead" or "deceased" over the radio.
It added to "let event continue" in the presence of unconfirmed bomb or terrorism threats.
Staff members at the rapper Travis Scott's Astroworld festival were told ahead of time to refer to any dead concertgoers as "smurfs," according to an event-planning document created by the concert organizers Scoremore.
The Event Operations Plan for the two-day concert series at NRG Park in Houston instructed staff members to never use the terms "dead" or "deceased" over the radio.
Instead, Scoremore told the concert staff to use the code word smurf to describe concertgoers thought to have died.
Brent Taylor, a representative for the Houston mayor's office, said he believed the use of the word smurf in the document was "operational."
Taylor said he had heard the term used secondhand before but referred further questions to Scoremore.

SMURF Down!! SMURF Down!! We need backup!!
Society declines as rap concert goes on.
Nothing follows.
Well that’s just Smurffy......
The concert may have had some troubles, but no reason to feel Blue about it.
It sure sounds like a satanic event.
“Bring out your Smurfs!”
Planning document? Planning for dead concert goers?
More dead from this concert than 1/6. 🤔
This is really not that unusual. Police report that at every major concert in the Meadowlands at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey, there are usually three or more deaths. Usually drug related, not stampedes. However suspect there will be more actual homicides in the future.
dag... what was in that bucket you threw on us smurfoff?

Hey journolisters - can you answer me why the poh-leece invented “10 codes” (instead of just using plain language)?
Is it common for people to die at concerts?
Oh....instead of “Code Blue”?
(Society declines as rap concert goes on.)
That sounds about right for this day and age.
Apparently it’s now a “thing”.
"Hey, wait just a minute!"
And they planned for deaths ... how human of them.
Biden just 10 200 in his pants again
“Yeah, dispatch? We’re gonna need two hearses and the coroner for a couple of Smurfs in the promenade...”
