Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy

This is a well done documentary do not get me wrong but it is very intense. There were times when I felt I was at the concert. Very Strange.

The victims testimonies teared me up a bit so be prepared for those. The negative reviews mentioned the tone was to sway our opinions towards Travis but we really did not have to, the proof was in this documentary of what happened. Total neglect from involved.

The documentary did what it was supposed to do and that is bring the art in motion to the viewer and that is what the director did here. Towards the end did feel rushed but all in all id definitely recommend watching this.

This documentary does a solid job capturing individual experiences at Astroworld, but it lacks a deeper investigation into why the tragedy happened in the first place. There's a clear absence of critical reflection on the organizational failures, especially from Live Nation's side.

As someone who has attended many hip-hop shows over the years, I've seen firsthand how dominant Live Nation is in the live music scene-and how little seems to have changed since Astroworld. I went to Rolling Loud last year, also produced by Live Nation, and it honestly didn't feel like any lessons had been learned. Security staff seemed untrained, and crucial aspects like venue selection, crowd flow, and transportation were clearly not well thought out.

Given the intensity of hip-hop crowds, the rise of rage culture, and the continued lack of proper organization, it's not hard to imagine something like this happening again (though I hope it never does). I really hope this documentary sparks serious conversations among concert organizers and show producers about safety, logistics, and accountability in live event production.

This documentary was genuinely so hard to watch as they made the entire thing as emotional as possible 😭, it really felt like I couldn't breathe the entire time and really made me feel like I was there in the awful tragedy. It was very well made and was so sad the entire way throughout, it really gave me so much more insight into the incident and definitely made me think so much deeper about it. Live Nation handled it horribly and Travis really could've stopped performing during his time, even though he couldn't "stop the show", he was was the show, and he could've just put the mic down. Also the black and white forehead rub was a terrible apology. R. I. P to all of the lives lost in the incident 🕊.

Absolutely shook after watching Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy on Netflix. I couldn't breathe just watching this - my chest was tight the entire time. This isn't just a documentary; it's a gut-punching, meticulously laid-out exposé of everything that went wrong that night.

From the very first few minutes, you know you're in for something heavy. The way they interweave real crowd footage, survivor interviews, and expert analysis creates this unrelenting sense of dread. You already know what happens, but watching it unfold - watching the warning signs be ignored in real-time - is nothing short of harrowing.

What this documentary does so well is show how utterly systemic the failures were. It wasn't just one misstep. It was everything: overcrowding, poor infrastructure, a shockingly dangerous stage layout, totally inadequate security, and a horrifying lack of accountability. The festival was a pressure cooker, and no one stepped in to relieve it until it was far too late.

Shame on you, Travis Scott. The documentary doesn't sensationalise - it lays it all out, fact by fact. You see the crowd screaming for help. You see people trying to stop the show. And yet the music kept going. The lights kept flashing. The hype machine didn't stop - even as lives were being crushed right beneath the stage.

It's painful. It's infuriating. But it's essential viewing. If you care about live music, about public safety, or about basic human decency, Trainwreck is a must-watch. It's more than just a documentary. It's a demand for accountability.

I just finished watching this documentary, and I must say, I'm both impressed and massively devastated. It's hard to comment on the filmmaking when the subject matter is so reprehensible, but I need to give props to the documentarians for weaving together an emotionally engaging, yet fair and balanced narrative drawn from numerous first-hand accounts. I particularly liked the input from the gentleman working for the company that performed the investigation, calling the concert promoters and artists to task by revealing the many blatant planning and safety transgressions leading to all those pointless deaths. Shame be upon them and their misguided greed. I hope they've learned from their grievous humanitarian error, thus enabling them to put their shame in the rearview.
