Tragedy at Houston Astroworld Music Festival leaves 8 dead, hundreds injured
No doubt by now you’ve seen something about the eight dead and dozens injured at a music festival in Houston, TX, called Astroworld. While initial reports included the number of persons taken away in ambulances, like with any large incident, what really happened, and who takes the blame will take time to come out. As of the time of recording, eight fatalities and over 300 were treated at a field treatment area onsite. There is also video of a crowd rushing the VIP entrance and quickly overpowering the security there. HPD mounted officers were onsite to slow the entry and many were detained.
This week the guys discuss event planning in your first alarm area and why it’s important to be part of the planning process whenever possible. We also discuss EMS event planning and how what’s on paper and what really happens isn’t always the same thing. As with many current events, things are easier to handle a few days later from the comfort of home but the core planning elements for large events remain the same.
Have a listen as we discuss:
- EMS and LEO event planning basics for every rank
- The wild stories circulating of security being drugged and Satanists harvesting souls
- Why staffing a little 4×4 at an event is cute but can be inundated by the crowd quickly
- How to pronounce where Justin was the last 2 weeks
