A proposito di questo titolo

A luxurious nightclub filled with palm fronds and politicians. A festival stage surrounded by screams. In this episode, we revisit two events separated by 80 years - but united by a chilling truth: when crowds gather, things can turn deadly fast. We start with the Cocoanut Grove fire of 1942, a catastrophe that claimed 492 lives in just ten minutes. Locked exits. Flammable ceilings. One of Hollywood’s biggest cowboy stars. Then, we jump forward to Astroworld 2021 - another event where the warnings were there, but not the will to stop the show. We explore: What happens when design and denial collideWhy people freeze in disasters (normalcy bias)How history keeps repeating, and how little accountability followsThe gut-punch stories of those who didn’t make it outWhy Travis Scott is still headlining festivals, and what that says about the industry It’s about more than panic. It’s about power, perception, and the illusion of safety. Attribution Notes: Every effort was made to cross-check primary sources and modern research.
