Following a crowd surge at a Houston concert that left at least eight people dead and dozens injured, authorities will examine key causes behind the surge and what could have been done to get attendees out of harm's way, police said Saturday.
The crowd at the sold-out Astroworld Festival on Friday night was so tightly packed that when audience members were pushed toward the stage, some told CNN that they were crushed against each other to the point where they couldn't breathe and passed out.
" 'It felt like we were drowning in a pool filled of just people' With scores of people injured as they were pushed toward the stage, some audience members told CNN that they couldn't breathe and thought they might die. Sarai Sierra, who went to the festival to celebrate her birthday, said she saw multiple people who could not breathe after Scott appeared on stage."I truly thought that if I fell it would've been the end of me.
