Investigators are looking at the design of safety barriers and crowd control to help figure out what led to a crush of spectators at a Houston music festival that left eight people dead and hundreds injured.
Authorities say they are also using videos and witness interviews to determine what happened Friday night during a performance by rapper Travis Scott.
24-year-old Billy Nasser said about 15 minutes into Scott’s set, things got “really crazy” as people started getting trampled when fans rushed the stage.
Nasser said he picked up one guy who was on the ground. “People were stepping on him. People were like stomping.”
The youngest victim was identified as a 14-year-old.
Police say 13 people remain hospitalized as of late Sunday night.
About 50,000 people were at the sold-out Astroworld Festival.
