In the week since a Houston music festival turned deadly, questions have emerged about who should be held accountable for the nine people who died and the hundreds who were injured.
Audience members at Travis Scott's Astroworld Music Festival described an unruly crowd surge on November 5 that felt like a "death trap," leaving many trampled and struggling to breathe -- and even prompting some to administer CPR on those who passed out.
