282 Astroworld Festival victims claim damages from Travis Scott and Apple for more than 220 billion yen class action

This is the Astroworld Festival (Interstellar Music Festival), held two years later on November 5th (local time) (see Travis Scott for details). The festival is hosted by Travis Scott (Travis Scott), which killed 10 people and injured more than 300. As of 16 November (at the same time), the number of lawsuits exceeded 110, and it is expected that all settlements will take several years to pay damages of more than hundreds of millions of dollars, but it appears that a new class action has emerged for substantial damages.

The class action action was brought by Texas lawyer Thomas J.Henry (Thomas J Henry) on behalf of 282 victims. Travis, the co-star Drake (Drake), the promoters "Live Nation (Live Nation)" and "Apple" jointly demanded $2 billion (228.7 billion yen) in damages. It is worth noting that the defendant listed the name "Apple". According to Thomas, the tragedy was a major reason for the exclusive live broadcast on "Apple Music". Because "Apple" sets up a large number of cameras with huge metal roadblocks to divide the auditorium vertically and horizontally for the photographer's movement, as a result, it not only reduces the space of the auditorium, reduces the number of entrances and exits, encourages the excessive concentration of the audience, and expands the victimization. He also pointed out that the decision to suspend the concert was postponed after a promotion worth more than a few million dollars. In fact, there are images on SNS where viewers strongly appeal to photographers to stop and are also ignored, unable to reach the entrances and exits, and an endless stream of viewers forcibly crossing the fence, so it can't be said that it doesn't matter.

In addition, in addition to the class action, lawyer Tony Buzbee (Tony Buzby) is seeking damages of $700, 50 million (85.7 billion yen) on behalf of the 125 victims. "I think another 100 people will be sued in the near future. We spent hours verifying Astroworld Festival with images from different angles. No matter how much money there is, what happened on the evening of November 5th will not be solved. "(Tony Buzbee)
