Guest Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 8 dead, hundreds hurt as Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival turns into mass casualty incident Friday night | abc13.com ABC13.COM Eight people died and hundreds were injured at Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival. The event was canceled after the mass casualty incident. Holy moly, absolutely awful situation. We were supposed to host an event for the festival on Monday but it seems likely the rest of the festival is completely cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSpreader Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 So they got trampled? wtf is a surge? It made me think it was wet and something electrical went off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CayceG Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Essentially, what happens is that crowds in the back push forward and the people at the front get compressed. It sort of happens in waves, so there are "pulses" that act on the people up front who are hemmed in by some barrier or the stage itself. It happens more than you think: List of human stampedes and crushes - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I recall, mouth to mouth doesn’t lead to better outcomes in many (most?) situations, but it would be difficult to know as a stranger whether the person fits to criteria in which mouth to mouth is beneficial. If you can only do one, chest compression is far more important. But for me, the particulars of what the poster did is less an issue and the lack of preparation on the part of the event organizers is. There is also a really creepy video of Scott pausing the show recognizing somebody was in distress and then starting back up as he watches the lifeless body of the person being carried over the crowd. 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for me, the particulars of what the poster did is less an issue and the lack of preparation on the part of the event organizers is. CPR is one of those things that's really interesting in that the medical community looks at outcomes and data often and tailors recommendations based on that data regularly. I believe the mouth to mouth bit has been scrapped because people were not super willing to do it, which caused delays in administering any intervention. When I worked in hospitals something like 18 years ago and got trained on CPR for adults, children, and infants, the official recommendation at the time was to not call 911 / administer mouth to mouth or compressions to infants who have stopped breathing until they've been like that for 60 seconds since it's something that infants do on their own somewhat "regularly." They changed that guidance after getting the (somewhat obvious in hindsight) feedback that people aren't generally willing to just look at an infant that isn't breathing for a minute and not do anything.

Guest Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 That makes sense too, if people feel like CPR requires mouth to mouth and they don’t feel comfortable doing that they may do nothing at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 The most important thing is the chest compressions but I think giving two breaths is also important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 A few years back, the company I work for got some employees trained on CPR. Mouth to mouth was still taught. The professionals provided everyone with a mouth apparatus that allows you to blow into the person’s mouth without have to make contact. Sandlot did show how creepy Americans are.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR): First aid WWW.MAYOCLINIC.ORG Do you know how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)? Basically unless you've got medical training or recently did a CPR course, it's chest compressions only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Even in the videos I've seen where it's not "that serious" of a stampede, you can still hear people screaming for help. It sounds like a crew that had no idea what to do with crowd control or basic emergency response. 220000 people were at Woodstock 99, which is widely regarded as one of the biggest shit shows of the modern era, and only 3 people died. And that included people breaking down fences and setting fires. This festival seems like an utter breakdown of every measure of crowd control and medical response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 ‘Our hearts are broken’: At least 8 dead, several others injured at Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival at NRG Park, officials say WWW.CLICK2HOUSTON.COM At least eight people are dead and several others were injured Friday night at Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival at NRG Park, authorities said. Quote “There are a lot of narratives out there right now, on social media and even last night,” Finner said. One such narrative circulating is of an individual injecting others with drugs. Finner said a security officer reported that he felt a prick in his neck while he was responding to the crowd surge. When he was examined, he fell unconscious. Paramedics reportedly administered Narcan, which revived the security officer, Finner said. Medical stiff did observe what appeared to be a needle prick on the man’s neck.

If there's one thing I know about drug users, it's that they generally don't like to give away drugs for pranks. Sounds like the "strangers are giving drugs to your kids" campfire tales that get spread around every halloween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
