outside of bin top hospital.
Severe rayford KPRC. 2 news,
300 people wow. Alright thank
you.
>> For that report that we know
also that there was another
deadly incident. This isn’t the first time that this is has
first time that this is has
happened. This was back in 1979
who concert 11 people were
killed.
>> looking into that
as well. That’s what’s been happening as a result of this
happening as a result of this
concert looking at every angle
as we
possibly can on the social
media front and be on Robert.
Well, we were looking at
concert from 1979 is is a
possible indicator of what may have happened in 2021 it that
have happened in 2021 it that
who concert in 1979 the way it
was described.
>> You had all of these people
outside the concert hall.
They were waiting and they were
waiting and they were waiting in the radio announcements that
in the radio announcements that
General Assembly could go in at
this time. Others at this time.
Well, a couple of doors opened.
People started going in.
People at other doors. We’re
not allowed. And yet those
doors were locked so he started banging started knocking.
banging started knocking.
Then some people thought they
heard the concerts starting.
So there was this panic that
oh, God, we’re missing
everything. It’s a restart
crushing forward to all those people up at the front of the
people up at the front of the
concert hall trying to get in
were suddenly being crushed by
those in the back, the people
in the back and no idea they
were questioning people in the
front. By the time everything
was sorted out. 11 people had died from
11 people had died from
trampling injuries. And that’s
how things can just snow ball
so quickly can escalate so
quickly in these situations
because it is mass chaos have
so many people you can’t hear what’s going on. So if you have
what’s going on. So if you have
people in the front saying,
hey, get back. That takes a
while for that ripple effect to
go all the way to the back.
And so that’s one aspect is being looked at is was this
being looked at is was this
something that just snowballed
so quickly at this astroworld
event. So one of the other
things, too. I’ve been chatting
with a colleague of mine whose
son was there in. So again to
bear with me because it was a text exchange. But he was
text exchange. But he was
talking about his son was a
fairly close to the front in
honestly didn’t realize
anything was going on in till they were starting to leave
they were starting to leave
seeing a bear with me as I go
through some of these tax here.
He said his son and his friends
were pretty close to the front.
They said there was always
pushing, but they didn’t feel scared. They really didn’t see
scared. They really didn’t see
any big trouble in till they
were leaving and they saw
people doing CPR. And as they
is bodies being carried out.
He said now as they were
leaving, people were crammed together. There was really
together. There was really
nowhere to go very fast and
that police were. We’re using
their batons to really trying
to everybody out of the area
as quickly as possible. He also
said that they had gone to the
same event last year and crowd
size was very similar and they
didn’t have any problems.
Now. He did say his son is 6,
2, It was able to keep himself
from, you know, being really
pushed or pushed down and he
said, but even his son whose
athletic 6, 2 was exhausted.
His sons and high school by the
time that
got home. Now, he did say that
when he signed in his friends
got towards the front of the
stage that there was no where
to go with. You’re up there
in front. You are not getting
out any anytime soon. So we’re
going to be speaking with him a
little bit more in detail.
A little bit later on. So one
of the other things, too, that
you heard in. That was one of
the things we read some of the
earlier social media post was
this sense of chaos. He had
everybody that started
gathering and they’re waiting
in the waiting and they’re
trying to get to the front.
Some are up against these
barriers. One young lady
described some of these metal
barriers that were about chest
high and so everybody is
waiting to reduce crowding
every keeps kind of inching
forward and forward. More and
more and more and more. And so
there’s a lot of this pent-up
energy. And so when that
concert did finally start all
that energy is just really some
people. This surged forward.
And so you did have people have
barriers that they were caught
your people towards the front.
There were caught the video
you’re looking at now. That’s
from earlier in the day.
That’s when you had dozens of
people, does Russia security
gate top of the security gate
to get around a checkpoint to
get in. So you had some aggression starting earlier in
aggression starting earlier in
the day. As for what happened
here. I think that’s going to
be a mix of chaos because
you’re reading on the social
media post. You had so many
people that were screaming for help and there was confusion
help and there was confusion
and nobody could hear anybody
nobody’s like please push back,
please stop. Please go to.
And that takes a while. Like I
said, I mean, if you think
about it like a way that takes
a while for that wave to go
forward. It’s going to take a while for that Wade to receive,
while for that Wade to receive,
especially when you’re in a
chaotic situation and not
everybody hears or not anybody
understands exactly what’s
going on. It’s not like moving, you know, 10 people back and
you know, 10 people back and
you’ve got literally thousands
of people. They’re trying to
scream to stop surging forward
in, get them to go back
meanwhile, you’ve got
paramedics, you’ve got other
rescue crews police offers all trying to rush into that fray
trying to rush into that fray
to get those who’ve collapse.
Those who were in cardiac
arrest out of the area. One
young ladyho wrote that she
passed out one of her friends managed to somehow get the
managed to somehow get the
crowd to basically body surfer
to the back and she woke up
with a water bottle or a lap
and had no idea what happened
to her. So all of that’s going to be sorted out as you did
to be sorted out as you did
hear fire chief Sam Pena
explain. They’re still have to
wait to find out exactly what
killed the 8 people that they
do have passed away at this
point. You had
several more that were injured
were waiting to get an update
on exactly all of their
injuries. One of the other
things that’s going to be
looked at, too, is how much
information, how quickly
information was relayed to the
artists on stage because what
we’re seeing on social media is
there were certain
interruptions during that
initial performance. But it
took a while for the
performance itself to stop and
we know and a lot of cases.
There was even one famous
incident Tejano singer Selena
where people started crushing
the stage. She was able to see
it immediately. She kind of
signal. Hey, everybody, please
calm down and move back and
that had a great effect in did
people being injured more
seriously. So that is one of
those things. You know how
quickly was that. The
information given to the
artists so that they could stop
their performance, which could
help bring the energy level
down and bring a little bit of
calm. So the information can
get out for everybody to start
moving back. Those are all
things they’re going to be part
of the investigation. It
certainly things that we’re
looking into as well. Back to
you guys. Yeah. Robert, you and
you
talked about.
>> The lifeless bodies out
there. People moving the bodies
out of the way. I’m chief
Troy finner saying that they’re
looking into report rumors
rumors of someone injecting
drugs into And of course we
won’t know what caused the
deaths of these 8 individuals
and tell those autopsy reports
come in. I will tell you I did
get a text from a who was
saying he did think that some
of what they were seeing
out there.
>> We’re drug overdose. He said
some were definitely trampling,
he said, but he does believe
that some of the issues out
there were due to drug
