In the wake of the deaths and injuries at the Astroworld festival on Friday night, as we reported on here, many have been trying to figure out exactly what happened and how it happened. One phrase that had come up again and again in relation to this is ‘crowd surge’, so what exactly does it refer to?
In short, a crowd surge is when a large group of people in a confined space, often at something like a concert or a protest, all move in a particular direction, leading to crushing between people and against structures.
