Her experience revealed new info about the disastrous festival. Travis Scott\u2019s November 5 Astroworld festival in Houston resulted in the deaths of eight people and injuries to dozens more due to \u201ccrowd surges.\u201d In the time since, many have condemned Scott and the event organizers for failing to ensure safety of attendees. TikTok influencer Tess Krauser was in attendance and has used an alt account to share firsthand accounts of how everything unfolded, including new details Tess blamed the situation on overcrowding, poor planning, and crowd behavior. She\u2019s also maintained that, contrary to popular reports, Scott did indeed end the show early \u2014 but not early enough. Travis Scott\u2019s tragic Astroworld show: Overcrowding, poor security and medical preparation Explaining the situation, Tess explained that \u201cthe first thing that went wrong is so many people got into the music festival.\u201d She expanded on this by showing sources that 100,000 people bought tickets (and that\u2019s \u201cnot counting the people that knocked down the metal detectors and the gates to get in\u201d). Further, she claimed there was not enough security \u2014 noting that \u201conly 200 security guards and 300 police officers\u201d couldn\u2019t match the size of the crowd. And, as another note on the lack of preparation, she explained that \u201cthe medics looked like they were a deer caught in headlights.\u201d These issues, in combination with a crowd that \u201cwas just too rough\u201d combined for the tragic series of events. Apparently Travis Scott did end the Astroworld show early In another video, Tess wanted to touch on reports that Scott allowed everything to unfold without stopping his performance: \u201cHe did stop the show 30 minutes early and I just wanted to say that because I haven\u2019t seen anyone else saying that.\u201d Unfortunately, 30 minutes was not early enough and Tess clarified that the situation was still \u201cawful\u201d and \u201chorrible.\u201d On her main account, she posted a video captioned \u201cit was fun until it wasn\u2019t,\u201d with clips of the good times before the crowd surge. Ultimately, Tess\u2019s overwhelming reaction is that this disaster was preventable. And she placed blame on the event organizers for inadequate preparation: \u201cI feel like most of this could have been avoided if they just made sure people knew how to do their jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
