Survivors of the Astroworld disaster tell their story
The shrine of votive candles, flowers, photos and handwritten cards stretched along Westridge Street, about 100 yards away from the site of the disaster. As videos posted on social media showed, Scott continued to perform while fans were screaming at him to stop the show. Scott told fans on social media Saturday that he was"absolutely devastated by what took place."
The eight who died in the crush ranged in ages from 14 to 27, including a 21-year-old University of Dayton engineering student and a 14-year-old high school student. Houston officials did not release their names, but friends and family paid tribute on social media and began to hold memorials on Sunday afternoon.
