Rio police investigate Taylor Swift concert organizers after fan's death

_Analog_ , 7 months ago

Banning people from bringing in their own drinks is incredibly normal afaik. What no one has mentioned that I’ve seen is: What was the hydration plan of the concert organizers?

Was bringing in empty bottles and filling them inside ok?

How about providing free or inexpensive water once it got past a certain temp?

Misters? Heat relief booths? Onsite medics?

How can we have any clue whether the organizer has any blame if we know nothing about the situation, other than the fact that someone later died?!

Without this info the story is basically pointless - maybe the organizers took heroic steps and a young person got caught up in the excitement with tragic consequences. And maybe the concert provider is a borderline criminal organization who needs to be fined, or shut down, or both. Plus stricter government regulations. But no, we know nothing - thanks Reuters!

Hahahaha, free or inexpensive water. Good one.

Could be cheaper than getting sued for one or more people’s deaths.

As stated too: only post a certain temp, otherwise I know there is zero chance of it.

I’m not a fan of her, but the concert organizers are the true culprit. A lot of stupid dangerous decisions to save/make more money that resulted in one death and hundreds of injured people.

Her response has been the most white glove PR managed thing ever. She didn’t even acknowledge the fans death publicly.

I really doubt she personally organizes any concerts.
