Travis Scott and organizers should have stopped Astroworld, Houston fire chief says

Travis Scott and the organizers of the Astroworld music festival should have stopped the event when they realized members of the crowd were in danger, Houston's fire chief said in a new interview Tuesday. Eight people were killed, including two teenagers, when a crowd surged toward the stage.

"Absolutely. Look: We all have a responsibility. Everybody at that event has a responsibility. Starting from the artist on down," Chief Samuel Peña told NBC's "Today" show.

"The artist, if he notices something that's going on, he can certainly pause that performance, turn on the lights and say, 'Hey, we're not going to continue until this thing is resolved,' Pena added. "That's one way to do it, yes."
