Concertgoer Madeline Eskins says what she experienced and witnessed when 8 people were killed at the Astroworld Music Festival in Texas was 'absolutely horrific.'

BARRIE -- Madeline Eskins was among those caught in the crowd at the Astroworld Music Festival in Houston, Texas on Friday, which left eight people dead and dozens injured. She said what took place at the venue was “absolutely horrific.”

“[Scott] started a countdown on the main screen from 30 minutes, and as that got closer to zero, people started really shoving and pushing and right before he performed I looked at my boyfriend, I said ‘I have to get out of here’ because people were compressing my chest so much from front, back [and] both sides that I couldn’t breathe.”“I didn’t think that it could, but it did, and I passed out,” she said.

Eskins said she identified herself as an Intensive Care Unit nurse, and asked to look at the man, adding that they were “just dropping them off, and going and getting more.”“I said ‘you need to get this guy to the medic tent, do not drop him here – go.’”

YourMorning This is so heartbreaking. My kids go to these concerts. I couldn't imagine. Those kids and their families. Where is the common sense? And safety? With that big of a crowd? And no one could stop what was happening? 8 young people are gone...forever. Families devastated forever.
