The family still intends to honor Baig on his birthday, which would have been on Nov. Whatever you guys need we’re here.”ĭanish Baig is the oldest of the list of the reported dead, the youngest of whom was 14. “We just want you guys to know we’re grieving with you. ![]() “It was upsetting and sad seeing people thrown left and right, stop, girls, guys, everybody, little kids,” Mirza described the scene. “He could stop a show for his shoe, but he couldn’t stop the show for people?” Mirza asked. Mirza wants answers–not a tweet, but real answers from Scott. “In this horrendous event, people that were in it took part in this event, Travis Scott’s team, the NRG team, everybody who was associated with this should be held accountable for the lives that were lost today.

And then you get the kind of nightmare mad rush that occurred over the weekend. It was an invitation to disaster.įestival seating is when the entire venue becomes a mosh pit. But whenever I saw “festival seating” on a ticket, I knew it was more than just a warning. I had taken a gap year from college and was the all-night DJ on the biggest rock station in town.
