What Are the Legal Implications of the Astroworld Aftermath?
Recently, Travis Scott's Astroworld festival made the news after a crowd surge left at least nine attendees fatally injured. Dozens more were treated throughout the night from injuries sustained during the event. As the aftermath of the horrible tragedy sinks in, the event's organizers have a lot of questions to answer. Why were precautions not taken sooner, up to ending the event for the day, after at least nine security breaches were reported prior to the deadly surge?

Lost in the midst of these pleasant memories is the little-known fact that Thanksgiving is one of the deadliest holidays celebrated in the country.
