More lawsuits are being filed on behalf of concertgoers injured or mentally scarred from the deadly crowd surge at the Travis Scott's Astroworld music festival last week in Houston.
Euneka Smith was at the concert and called it the most traumatizing night of her life - especially upon discovering someone was having a seizure right next to her.
"I'm looking around for the paramedics, I don't see anyone responding," Smith said. "The woman hits the ground and I'm the next person behind this woman. Her feet are next to my feet. The only thing that I can think of is that if I trip over this woman's feet, we're going to create a pile-up."
Fort Worth ER Doctor J. Mack Slaughter with Texas Health Resources says when you're in a crowd like that keep your hands up giving you a bit more space to adequately breath, and whatever you do, don't fall down.
"It almost becomes a massive liquid, the physics turns into what you would see with liquid and so if you pull the drain out of a bathtub, what happens? Everything starts pouring down that hole. So, if one or two people falls and the masses then collapses on that hole [and] it turns into this huge dog pile and the people at the bottom - you know what's going to happen to them."
Slaughter's put out a TikTok video with tips on how to survive crowd crush that's been viewed by millions of people.
