Terrible. One of them was 10 years old.

Who's Travis Scott?

I know how it can happen, but it shocks me every time that it does. Horrible.

People trampling each other to death to get a closer look at a rap show is dumber than NFTs. People suck so much.

Was in one at Alice Cooper at castle farms it was 80 or 81. Cooper stopped playing and started screaming we were maybe ten rows(standing Room ) from the stage. The assholes 30 rows back kept shoving. Was afraid for my life. Cooper probably saved some lives that night.

Castle Rock. There's one for the way back machine.

I always remember a WKRP episode about The Who concert where 11 people died.  It was the only serious episode that I can remember.  In the show, WKRP was sponsoring/promoting the concert, and then they felt the guilt of that. Very sad episode.
