00:00Travis Scott Live is an experience.
00:03His fans look at him like he's the messiah of music.
00:05Astro Road Fest was a concert that you didn't want to miss.
00:08Here in Houston, we don't get a lot of festivals.
00:11We were stoked.
00:12Like people are ready to party.
00:13You talk to any high schooler in Houston, they're talking about this concert.
00:19Tickets sold out in 30 minutes.
00:22I just thought I had to be there.
00:24We planned everything out.
00:25Outfits.
00:26Shades.
00:27There was a huge buzz about it.
00:29Let's go get it.
00:30It's about to go down.
00:31As soon as they let the gates open.
00:35They lost all control of the entry points.
00:38It was just overwhelming chaos.
00:41You can do whatever you want because you're in Astro World.
00:45There was a countdown clock until Travis Scott came out.
00:49And that's when it started getting pretty hectic.
00:51And I'm like, oh my God, I can't take a deep breath.
00:55The music started playing and you just felt your whole body just move forward.
00:58It became overwhelming real fast.
01:00And then the wave comes back.
01:03I fell on something.
01:05I fell on someone.
01:07Because people were falling on me.
01:10You should now run one.
01:11Yes, I'm going to talk to you now, please.
01:13It was crazy, man.
01:19People are dead and hundreds of others hurt.
01:22One lawsuit claims the festival was a, quote, predictable and preventable tragedy.
01:26I relived that moment trying to change my actions for a different outcome, but it's
01:30always the same outcome.
01:32You didn't have to know somebody to be affected.
01:34You guys were in charge of this.
01:36What was the failure?
01:37Never spoke about it before, but we're doing this so that people will know the truth.
01:42I don't know why.
01:44But I'm doing this for a long time.
01:51I don't know.
01:52You don't know.
01:53It might haveon us.
01:54But I was in charge of this.
01:57I don't know.
01:58I don't know.
01:58I'm in touch alone.
01:59You may have to know.
02:01Okay.
02:01Let's go over.
02:02What is it?
02:03What is it?
02:03When I got them.
02:04I don't know.
02:05What is it?
02:05I don't know.
02:06What is it?
