The Houston Police department released its full investigation on the 2021 Astroworld tragedy, providing more details on the event that killed 10 people and injured hundreds of others
The documents depict a chaotic scene from just after Scott’s headlining set. While the bulk of the incident began not long after Scott took the stage at 9 p.m., the show didn’t end until over an hour later. During that time, fans yelled for the show to be stopped, while others leapt over barricades to get room to breath. Some medics said they were overwhelmed as attendees came to the medical tent for attention.
The investigation includes disturbing anecdotes from both the concertgoers and workers who witnessed the “carnage,” as camera operator Gregory Hoffman described it. Hoffman was operating a crane with a camera attached to capture video of the concert. Fans began crowding near him and the crane early in the show to get a better view of the concert, he said.
Hoffman told the police he called in for backup from security to stop the crowding issues, noting that the heavy crane posed a significant safety risk if it tipped over. Other members of the production team came to his assistance, Hoffman said, but he never got help from security. After a few songs, they shut the crane down because people attempted to climb it. Hoffman said he saw paramedics giving CPR to one of the concertgoers, Brianna Rodriguez. By 9:25 p.m. Hoffman said, after the production team asked about getting the crane functioning again, he yelled back on the radio to the other production crew members that “the crane is down, and that they were doing CPR under my crane, and that people were dying.
