Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy

Stream Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy on Netflix.

It was one of the “must see” concerts of 2021. So how did it become a deadly catastrophe? And why was there little to no accountability afterward? The subject is the Astroworld Festival crowd crush that took place on November 5, 2021—killing 10, injuring hundreds. The overcrowding, confined space, and subsequent lack of action taken by the rapper and headliner Travis Scott all seem to be major factors. Yet what has been described as “avoidable” has been glossed over by major media. Featuring firsthand accounts from survivors, paramedics, and security, Netflix’s new documentary, Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy, seeks to answer all the questions. —Hannah Gross
