Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival tragedy reportedly happened due to several lapses in the show's process, a new report confirmed.
On Tuesday, the Texas Task Force on Concert Safety released a report explaining what went wrong in the Astroworld Festival that led to the deaths of 10 attendees and injured hundreds of others.
It revealed that the lack of security training and the lack of communication among the staff and police officials made the crowd rush worse and fatal. The same report listed the recommendations, based on what happened at Astroworld, that every show should impose.
TFCS then listed its findings, saying that there had been recurring issues in Unified On-Site Command and Control, permitting, training, planning with risk assessment, and centralized resources.
Part of the findings said, as quoted by Rolling Stone:
"The TFCS strongly supports a requirement that event promoters determine which EMS/Fire/Police agencies would respond to a 911 call on the site of their event and that those agencies be employed as UCC members. Support security from other jurisdictions can be allowed but should not replace the inclusion of local response agents. Preshow collaboration with these entities is needed to strengthen communication during a crisis."
TFCS, after learning the findings, called for concert promoters to give detailed plans before the events. It also urged everyone to list specific emergency scenarios that could halt the show.
Texas governor Greg Abbott created the task force five days after the fatal Astroworld festival. Music industry representatives, event safety experts, and law enforcement officials joined the group.
Travis Scott Disregarded Attendees' Safety
While the document did not mention Scott's name, it noted that organizers should know how performers may interact with the fans and how their actions affect the crowd.
"Some artists have a documented history of encouraging attendees to disregard public safety," the report said. "When an artist does this, it could be considered a breach of contract and come with responsibility for any damage to property and people."

It remains unknown whether Scott would be charged with negligence following the concert. But he has been named in most of the lawsuits that were filed after the Astroworld tragedy.
Still, Scott said he is not responsible in any way as he tried cleaning his name during his interview with Charlamagne Tha God. He revealed that he did not know people needed help when the surge began.
The investigation into the event remains underway.
