Netflix viewers have been left shocked after watching a new documentary focused on the Travis Scott concert that ended in tragedy when ten people died in a crowd crush.

Scott’s Astroworld Festival in 2021, an at the time annual music event, led to the death of ten people, with eight dying on the scene and a further two dying at hospital.

Investigations into the tragedy to identify its cause took years, with the families of the ten people in the US who died taking out wrongful death lawsuits against Live Nation, the touring company who ran the event.

Crowds rushed the stage eventually leading to the mass casualty incident.

Covered in depth in Netflix’s Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy, viewers have been taking to social media to express how shocking they found the latter moments of the ‘chilling’ documentary.

What does Netflix’s Astroworld Tragedy doc cover?

The documentary features interviews with several people who survived the shocking tragedy, and speaks to crowd control experts to try and get to the source of what caused the horrifying incident.

Netflix’s doc also speaks to the mother of one of the victims, Rudy Peña, who was just 23 when he died at Scott’s concert.

Rudy’s mother recalled how she went to the hospital and discovered that her son had died in the crush, saying in the doc: “That's when I just lost it. I was screaming 'What am I gonna tell his siblings? What am I gonna tell his friends? What am I going to say to my heart, to my soul?'

"They stole my heart. They stole a part of my heart. I couldn't bear it. And so far, I still can't."

A crowd safety expert, Scott Davidson, also reveals in the documentary that an audio engineer was warned about the risks on the day.

They were warned by a manager at Live Nation there were four active CPRs as well as well as two ‘most likely dead’, something that the engineer could supposedly have relayed to Scott.

Instead he was not told and brought out Drake as a surprise guest.

Davidson also alleged that Live Nation sold 50,000 tickets for a 35,000 capacity venue, and that a large number ran past security checkpoints, sending the estimated numbers even higher.

Fan reactions to the Netflix doc and the shocking ending

Fans have mostly been praising the documentary, with one viewer calling it a ‘disturbing’ watch.

Another took to Reddit, calling the ending to the documentary a ‘punch to the stomach’.

The documentary ends revealing that in 2023 a jury found that no one individual could be found to be to blame for the documentary, and the wrongful death lawsuits brought by all ten families were settled outside of court.

In addition to this, it revealed that in 2024, Scott embarked on the most successful solo rap tour of all time, earning over $210 million. The doc reveals that this tour was produced by Live Nation, the company behind Astroworld.

One fan commented on the post, saying: “I’ve watched every Netflix documentary, and I particularly love true crime. This one is the one that has been most disturbing to me.

“I could not imagine how horrible and confusing that must have been for all of the victims, but the documentary was really atmospheric. The circumstances are just genuinely my worst nightmare.”

Live Nation denied the allegations made by experts in the Netflix doc, claiming the venue capacity was approved by the Houston Fire Department and that they did not sell tickets exceeding this number.
