Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy

This was really heartbreaking and scary to watch. Most people go to a concert and never think this could or would happen. I'm shocked that the planning was so poor, considering Live Nation is the biggest concert organizer in the world.

The lack of safety and planning is absolutely atrocious. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. This was just awful and devastating, but something everyone needs to watch. Large crowds are not safe. You really never know what will transpire attending something like this.

If you find yourself in this position, please get out ASAP if you're able to.

I have no formal training in how to rate a documentary. I can only give my opinion.

Honestly, I appreciated this one. This event is of significant interest to me because I am from Houston, and remember hearing about this on the news. Travis Scott, in my opinion, brought disgrace to Houston. The fact that he gets to carry on with his life of luxury and others don't is disgusting.

However, while I initially solely blamed Travis Scott, after watching, I have an entirely new perspective. So, learned something, which is why I watch documentaries to begin with.

How Live Nation skirted the blame is beyond me. Perhaps we don't have all of the information? IDK, but those text messages between the producers and sound engineer tell me everything I need to know. I wish I had received my jury summons for that day. They 100% should have been sued for the $750 million dollars, and the people should have won. Maybe things would actually change if they were hit where it hurts- their greed.

This documentary won't bring back the people that were lost, but I'm glad someone was able to share their perspective, so it's definitely worth the watch. I don't know how the people at Live Nation sleep at night...so sad this tragedy could have been avoided.

This is a well done documentary do not get me wrong but it is very intense. There were times when I felt I was at the concert. Very Strange.

The victims testimonies teared me up a bit so be prepared for those. The negative reviews mentioned the tone was to sway our opinions towards Travis but we really did not have to, the proof was in this documentary of what happened. Total neglect from involved.

The documentary did what it was supposed to do and that is bring the art in motion to the viewer and that is what the director did here. Towards the end did feel rushed but all in all id definitely recommend watching this.

How is this real? The nurse in the Astroworld doc was so out of pocket. She's talking about a literal tragedy where people died... then they randomly show her twerking?? Completely disrespectful and unnecessary. It made the whole thing feel unserious. She's not the main character - she's supposed to be a professional. Who edited this and thought, "Yep, this fits"? Embarrassing. Just... why? Felt more like clout-chasing than honoring victims. Totally killed the tone.

This was a moment to show care and respect, not promote yourself. If you're in a tragedy doc, act like it. Not everything needs a spotlight.

When this incident happened, I was glued to social media as it was all going down. Once the concert attendees were tearing down gates and barriers to enter the venue, I wasn't surprised the disaster happened. I had never seen anything like that before and I have been to a lot of concerts. I'm not sure if it was just unruliness that came from youth finally being allowed out of the house for a music event mid-pandemic. My heart goes out to the families of the people lost at the concert. Nobody expects going to a concert would lead to a family member's demise. Doesn't seem like anyone was held accountable in the end and Travis Scott still continues to be a popular artist though I can't name any of his songs.
