Festival goers of the Astroworld fest are still suffering after being trampled at the NRG Park grounds in Houston, TX. A 22 year old college senior that went to the festival with her family has been pronounced brain dead, and a 9 year old is currently in a coma.

Bharti Shahani was with her sister and cousin at the festival but she got separated when things got crazy. She was rushed to the closest hospital by ambulance and received CPR on the ride there. She reportedly suffered multiple heart attacks during and after the crush. Currently doctors are speaking with the family to determine next steps.
9 year old Ezra Blount was attending the festival with his father nearly trampled to death by hundreds of people. According to reports, Ezra “incurred severe liver, kidney, and brain damage”.
Ezra’s dad recounts what happened. “I had my son on my shoulders awaiting drakes [sic] stage appearance,” Treston Blount wrote. “I began to be crushed until I couldn’t breathe I passed out. And I woke up and my son was gone”.
Little Ezra’s family retained lawyer Ben Crump, and is suing for 1 million dollars. Travis Scott, Live Nation, Scoremore Mgmt., Cactus Jack Records, NRG Park and several other defendants “egregiously failed in their duty to protect the health, safety, and lives of those in attendance at the concert,” says Crump.
The Blout family is not here for Travis feeling bad about what happened either. “If you feel so bad why aren’t you down here at the hospital checking on your fans?,” says Ezra’s grandfather Bernon Blout.
Travis Scott is said to be known to get the crowd going crazy at his shows. He has a bigger responsibility in this than he knows.
