“Investigations should start proceeding over finger-pointing,” Edwin F. McPherson says
“It was reported that the Operations Plan designated that only the festival director and executive producers have authority to stop the show, neither of which is part of Travis’s crew,” McPherson added. “This also runs afoul of HPD’s own previous actions when it shut down the power and sound at this very festival when the performance ran over 5 minutes back in 2019.
“Investigations should start proceeding over finger-pointing so that together, we can identify exactly what transpired and how we can prevent anything like this from happening again,” McPherson concluded. Since the deadly tragedy on Friday, conflicting and unconfirmed narratives have surfaced, which multiple outlets cited. One such narrative involved a story that a security guard had been injected with a mysterious substance while working the event. Police and sources close to Astroworld had previously pushed the injection narrative when the story was beginning to unfold. Several outlets including TMZ had previously cited an Astroworld source.during a press conference.
