0:00 [Music] anybody hear about astro world yeah no that's the travis scott concert a bunch of people got trampled or something right bunch of people died like eight people 100 people got injured oh my god so travis scott uh who is a rapper for contact i'm aware because of the mcdonald's thing oh yeah the christmas oh the top burger there it is there it is the quarter pounder with i forgot the barbecue sauce my bacon it's pretty it's very good it's actually pretty good oh you got it yeah i'm a fan of that meal ooh i haven't had mcdonald's in a minute you should order for lunch how many people how many people passed away so eight people so far uh yeah eight people eight people died one even one lady was left with brain damage um concert stampede man what happened so they called they're calling it a crowd surge
0:50 right so once this concert started there was a huge surge and literally um so he was doing what do they consider a surge i guess like it's like when uh let's say you're at a music festival right and then uh your ████ favorite artist finally gets to the main stage so everyone bum rushes to the front right but this is already like a damn near max capacity uh actual world tour for him there's over capacity um there's like you know over 50 000 people there in houston and then the search just begins happening and literally um like as i'm reading different articles of like different people's accounts whether it be like their own friends family members people that survive people that didn't it's there was just a moment where the pressure of people crushing forward made it so that one you first recognized that you if you had a limb up you couldn't bring it down oh you're just smashed yeah like everything got super smash and then there's even like i i remember
1:40 it's honestly a little bit depressing but i was reading this uh first person account talking about there's that moment when you realize it gets too serious and then you look at people next to you and you see the the fear of death in their eyes everyone's like i can't everybody recognizes that it gets that point and then you and then because of uh there's kind of no upward pressure with it because of gravity and stuff but there's pressure and something needs to go somewhere people end up starting to like it it almost was being explained like sinkholes like people would just start falling under and then after that you would just see people getting trampled why is it like people were pushing to the front so people in the back were creating the pressure yeah so people in the back who like obviously especially at like eye level height you don't know the the type of pressure you're putting on and no one wants to back up yeah and and the backup pressure is not the same either because even in a large concert
2:30 or music people are screaming for help like no no like you're just hearing scream you're hearing music it's just chaos yeah it's just utter chaos don't they have security guards in the front that's kind of like they pull people out well so this this is this is all part of like a lot of uh i wouldn't controversy is too strong a word but like a lot of just the hot topic of the conversation um there's lawsuits going on there's a bunch of like non-contextual videos showing of people saying like uh travis was aware of things that happening of these things happening but like not choosing to stop the concert whereas there's other videos that are surfacing showing that like at his astro world tours like when something does happen he will stop seeing and be like security helps person so everybody's trying to point the finger because something really tragic happened but nobody knows how to like handle such a bro he doesn't know what the ████ is going on he's on stage remembering his lyrics
3:20 but the thing about it is like he has a history he like he's been sued before for inciting like riots at his ████ concerts and all this ████ so there's a history of somebody like tried to like steal his shoes before on stage so he like was encouraging like the mob to like beat this dude up one time so it's a mixed bag right because it seemed like the the security wasn't ready there was a there's a bunch of videos of before the concert people like hundreds of people maybe not hundreds but like it was a good amount of ████ people rushing through the barricades and knocking over the security and running through and he was saying like yeah like it's over i guess there was a tweet that he put out saying like all the wild ones like come to the ████ show even if it's sold out and it was over capacity so there was a bunch of history with that and then i saw i was reading something this morning about how the uh i think it was in houston right the like police chief of houston actually
4:10 met with travis scott and was like regarding all the issues that he's had in his past as far as the history of him kind of stirring up the crowd and the lawsuits and all this ████ and he was pretty much having a conversation with them nobody knows what was actually being said but i think it was along the lines of hey like just be ready because there's some like reports of this being overcrowded already and we don't want to stir up more ████ so it's he had a conversation with the police officer before and i guess still nothing really like came out of that and then for people to be dead hundreds of people injured it's crazy is the lesson here don't go to hot artists like concert anymore like my friend went to a dmx concert when he was live and he was like saying that it was very open yeah dude go to the dolly parton i go to dolly parton live no no problem i think it definitely depends on the style of music or the you
5:00 know the also the type of crowd right because like if you're gonna go to a very very hype whether it be like rock or rap or anything where the energy is meant to be like mob style thrashy almost belligerent a little bit absolutely you're gonna do the old artists that were like high energy randy travis yes they're in their 30s and above and then you got all these og's there no one's mosh pitting dude no yeah that's true limp biscuit high energy but everyone's just sitting down yep you know smash mountain smash yeah smash mouth is gonna go riot bro be crazy but yeah but everyone's sitting down that already makes you feel crazy i just want to rip off that's his next uh that's the next tour it's like travis scott x dashboard confessional just make sure it's like balanced either delilah hansen
5:55 counselor you guys been to dude how many 40 year old tits do the backstreet boys see every night every night my buddy filmed a kiss cruise that's so often and he was showing he was telling me my buddy uh he filmed a kiss crew and he was saying dude he saw so many old titties this is people yeah i'm going nuts i would not complain if i only got old titties if anyone's willing to flash titties to me i'll be like hey dude that's true yeah that's a special moment yeah yeah yeah back when uh when we were touring with el mefeo and they would perform sexy i know it we would see like so many titties and then for some weird reason we went to australia and it was only dicks guys would show you dicks there were dudes standing on shoulders it was only they would just pull their pants sea of dicks guys are sitting on other guys shoulders and they're taking the dick out their dicks ████ hitting their guys i don't know if it's that long but oh they're like cheerleaders like step like standing on it because i was
6:46 like yeah if you're on someone's shoulder your dick is on their neck australia's my vibe dude i don't like their culture are you ████ with me man no they're taking their ████ out was there not alone where else just stopped saying and it's just like whoa put those away hey what the ████ you're in europe america everywhere girls are like always titties always titties and then just the five like we did a tour in australia called stereo sonic and it was all dicks and like dudes would like literally run naked and then get tackled by security and it was like and like the whole time we're dancing you could pay attention to all of that we're just like why is it all my dad are the chicks putting more sweatshirts on it's just ████ down under logic they're bundling up down under line it's like the toilet
7:36 spin the other way so it makes sense yeah right yeah australia's my vibe right here can't even control it they're just like this is just how things are that makes a lot of sense huh yeah i don't know i think i think it's like a it's like a joke it's a humor thing i believe i don't i don't think it's like it's not a gay thing it's just like that's funny to them that's why there's not too many australian comedians you know it's not very funny they're humans there's only one dicks are funny though i thought it was ████ hilarious that's pretty funny not if you're a sex icon they're supposed to be a sex icon always pulling their dicks out this guy's sex all the time that's good dude this what a rock star life man this guy literally is [Laughter] were they trying to get uh red foods
8:26 attention i've seen a lot of different ways to do it but that was the funniest one for sure i remember i went to like a bunch of rays in high school and one of the most packed ones it probably was like a surge i remember like azure walking and as the speed picks up sometimes your feet start leaving the ground yeah and there's times where you're just getting carried and you're like holy ████ what the ████ and you feel like you want to like squat low to like get yourself grounded again but you can't you're just being carried by the mop so i know how scary that feels that's what some of the reports were like people were like floating in the air but at least that was kind of like stop and go where people were like as soon as it starts picking up speed people whoa whoa whoa and then there's like enough like self-regulation within the crowd yeah but then for it to just keep going it's probably pretty freaky and people are high and drunk they don't know what the ████ is that's true they've been mobby experiences they said before i was writing some other reports about before the concert
9:16 even like before he even came out they had like a timer they said like the emts were all backed up from people getting like od in and oh and they they already didn't have the capacity there so it was like on multiple ends like everybody was getting ████ thrashed and then people were yelling like stop the concert before this ████ guy came out so like it's crazy i saw a little five-year-old on someone's shoulders a five-year-old but they were from the video that i saw i don't know if it's from that concert it looked like they were having fun for a little bit but i think the rest of it was just completely ████ but when you do move in a motion though with the herd it just feels like this massive human wave this energy goes yeah only when it works though other than that you got the marijuana smoke and you got people puking on the side and everything else and you kind of just like you just kind of tunnel vision and then you go oh yeah everyone's just singing the songs and then you leave i can also imagine how crazy it is
10:06 because like similar things when you go to music festivals and stuff like that usually the people who want to get to the front are the ones who are like most ████ up because that's the most sensory experience right so like yeah whether you're on like e or acid or anything like that you want to be by the speaker you want to like see the lights and stuff like that so most of the time you already have the most ████ up people in the front that like aren't really fully there and like you always in every one of those concerts you see security just picking fainting people out or like overdose people out that like can't stand anymore and stuff like that so that's a normal concert so to to have a freak accident i can only imagine like how intense it must have been in that space did that ████ ever happen during michael jackson concerts back in the day they said the deaths of this called to mind a 1979 concert by the who where 11 people died as thousands of fans tried to get into cincinnati's riverfront coliseum and holy ████ and then other past crowd catastrophes include the
10:57 deaths of 97 people in an overcrowded hillsborough stadium in 97 in sheffield england so it's all just overcrowding surges that are like people getting trampled pretty much dude you hear out here in the field you're like oh ████ ████ that's my job yeah we gotta get to the front we're too late [Music] you
