Tähtitieteellisiin summiin on korvausvaateet nousemassa tässä keississä. Daily Mailin tuoreessa jutussa on myös koottu kuva kahdeksasta konsertista kuolleesta uhrista, jonka joku taitavampi voisi nostaa tänne esille.
Sakasorron lietsomisesta puhutaan.
Konserttikäyttäytymiseen on ainakin Euroopassa festivaaleilla onneksi jo pyritty vaikuttamaan, eli crowd
surfing eli yleisön päälle lavalta tms hyppääminen on kielletty useimmissa isoissa tapahtumista. Edes kaverin reppuselkään nousua ei sallita.
Moshpitejä kuitenkin nähdään joskus metallibändien keikoilla.
Crowdsurfing -kulttuuri taas on elänyt aika paljon pitempään USA;ssa, monenlaisia aika vastenmielisiä videoita löytyy Youtubesta.
1980-luvun USA:n punk-keikoilla yleisöön hyppely oli myös aika tavallista, vaikka on todella vaarallista ja vastenmielistä.

Astroworld and the trickiness of tragedy blame games
Attendees and live footage depict a scene that was chaotic from the jump. Early in the day, fans were already breaching security gates to the festival. According to the New York Times, Houston police chief Troy Finner visited Travis Scott in his trailer before the show began, to express “concerns about the energy in the crowd.” Fans were packed into what has been described as a cage-like enclosure, with exit points and medical personnel that were not immediately accessible.
Scott began performing at 9 in the evening at NRG Park, and it did not take long for the crowd situation to become dangerous.
Around 9:30 pm, the music was paused for an ambulance to go through the crowd, but it soon resumed as
Scott asked the crowd to “make the ground shake.”
By 9:38 pm, firefighters and police officers declared Astroworld a “mass casualty” event, after reports of injuries and medical distress throughout the crowd.
Police chief Finner says he was concerned that putting a sudden stop to the concert could incite rioting, but it’s unclear how things would’ve actually played out.
While Travis Scott seemingly stopped the concert briefly at around 9:42 pm to direct medics to an unconscious fan, the concert largely continued as others became victims of the packed space. Scott reportedly continued performing until at least 10:15 pm. The rapper Drake joined him onstage toward the end, despite what was going on in the crowd.
