Charlie Minn's documentary "Concert Crush," on the Astroworld disaster in November that left 10 concertgoers dead, begins with perhaps the best day of Travis Scott's life as a native Houstonian.
In 2018, Houston mayor Sylvester Turner named Nov. 18 "Astroworld Day," after Scott, one of the most popular rappers on the planet, revived the city's beloved Astroworld amusement park as a music festival. "I was inspired by Astroworld," Scott said at a press conference that day. "I wanted to bring back that feeling and give to this city something that's always fun to do. It's been hurricane after hurricane, disaster after disaster."
Three years later, Scott's Astroworld would go down as another one of the city's darkest days. While a criminal investigation into the incident is ongoing, and thousands of plaintiffs are seeking billions in damages from Scott, promoter Live Nation and others, attendees and families have lived with the trauma for six months.
