The House Committee on Oversight and Reform has launched an investigation into the organizer of the Astroworld music festival and the events that led to the deaths of 10 attendees. In a letter sent Wednesday to the CEO of Live Nation Entertainment, the committee asked for information on who was responsible for venue security, crowd control, mass casualty incident planning, emergency communications and medical care. The committee also requested information on pre-show planning, a timeline of events the night of Nov.5, an assessment of whether the stampede could have been prevented and what steps Live Nation is taking to prevent a similar occurrence at future events. In its letter, the committee questioned why first responders were notified of a « mass casualty event » by 9:38 p.m. but the show wasn’t stopped until 10:10 p.
