Astroworld 音乐节事件面临 $7.5 亿美元钜额赔偿诉讼
律师 Tony Buzbee 代表 125 人提告。
日前于休士顿举办的 Astroworld Festival 发生踩踏意外，至今共造成 10 人死亡，年齡分布在 9 至 27 岁区间。目前活动已全面取消，并向当日参与者全额退票，然而事态严峻，许多音乐节相关人物皆面临数起诉讼。近日，律师 Tony Buzbee 更于 Instagram 表示其将代表 125 位与会者，包括 21 岁死者 Axel Acosta 的家人，向 Travis Scott、Drake、Live Nation 和 Apple Music 提起 $7.5 亿美元的赔偿诉讼。
「再多的钱也无法弥补原告的损失，再多的钱也不能让人重生。但本案中要求的损害赔偿是为了修复、协助或补偿这些原告所遭受的损害。」Tony Buzbee 声明，「许多人骨折、膝盖扭伤或其他部位受伤，甚至有心理伤害。我们预计将尽快代表另外 100 人提吿。」并称受到各地的帮助，目前团队正竭力于现场蒐集证据、不同角度的录像，且已听取至少 50 位证人的陈述。
“Many of the clients named in this lawsuit suffered broken bones, or twisted knees, or orthopedic injuries. Many have psychological injury. I expect we will file on behalf of another 100 individuals very soon. I have been in contact with defense counsel for many of the entities sued, to include Live Nation. Our team has toured the site and collected evidence. We have taken statements from more than fifty witnesses. We have collected hours of video tape from almost every angle. No amount of money will fix what occurred on the night of November 5. However, based on what I know now, to include what I learned during discussions with opposing counsel, it is my firm belief that every individual who attended that concert and who suffered injury will be fairly compensated. I intend to make sure of it.”
截至现今，Travis Scott 等相关人士或机构尚未对此回应；同时，Nike 官方则公告：「因音乐节悲剧事件的影响，出于对每个受害者的尊重，我们决定推迟 Air Max 1 x Cactus Jack 的发布。」此款为与 Travis Scott 推出的联名鞋款，各位读者敬请关注后续消息。
