Netflix viewers have been left “blown away” after watching a documentary about a concert tragedy that left 10 people dead. The documentary titled The Astroworld Tragedy follows the horrific events that occured at American rapper Travis Scott’s annual festival.
The event took place in Houston on November 5, 2021 and was the third Astroworld Festival thrown by the rapper. Just minutes before Scott took to the stage, several people were crushed in a crowd surge that only worsened as the concert went on. Ten people aged between nine and 27 died and more than 300 people were treated for injuries. The documentary features interviews with survivors, family of those who died, workers who were on shift at the festival and a crowd safety expert. Survivors highlighted the difficulties they faced trying to breathe in the countdown to Scott’s appearance. “The music started playing, and you just felt your whole body move forward,” recalled one survivor.
