What Was it Like To Be At The Front of the Crowd At The Astroworld Festival?

Today is November 5th, 2021. It is a Friday. Who I am in this story is not important, rather it is important the things I have now witnessed.

Astroworld, Houston, Texas. Travis Scott is the only one performing. I don’t know how many people were at the festival, but I do know that every single person was at that stage.

My friend and I wanted to be close to the stage — as close as we could possibly get. We were not able to get very close, but we did end up on the side, near the walkway in the middle. Surrounding us were chest-high metal gates. "Barriers."

We stood there for two hours, as did every other person. Every gap was filled, where your feet were placed was where they stayed.

Energy rose as the time neared -beginning the show. Within the first 30 seconds of the first song, people began to drown — in other people. There were so many people. Tall men, women. Women and men where the only thing they could see was the back of the person in front of them.

Picture of the Day

23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog Max. Both of them died in the fiery crash Tuesday morning caused by drunk NFL player. She was driving home after taking Max for a walk

Tina and her family is originally from Croatia and they lived 20 miles outside the Croatian capital Zagreb. They fled the city for Serbia at the outbreak of the Yugoslavian war. They were forced to flee Serbia in 2000 as well due to the air raids and outbreak of war in the country, eventually finding their way to the USA in 2001.

The family has also owned a home in Las Vegas since 2004 and was reportedly on the verge of US citizenship.

The 23-year-old worked from home, fielding calls for an insurance company but dreamed of building a career in computer science. 

"We survived bombing and we escaped from Croatia to Serbia. We got bombed there and after that we came here to the US. Then this happens,” Her uncle Predrag Komazec lamented.
