Ten people died as a result of the chaotic crowd surge at the Houston concert when headliner Travis Scott began performing on November 5.

The suit, filed Wednesday, names defendants including Apple Music, Scott, the rapper Drake and Live Nation, alleging they were negligent and stood to make "an exorbitant amount of money" from the event but chose to "cut corners, cut costs and put the festival attendees at risk."

"Many in the crowd were knocked to the ground and trampled, some were trapped and crushed against other concert attendees, while others were compressed against metal barricades," the lawsuit says.

Scott said in a statement following the event he was "devastated" about what happened.

Shortly before 5 p.m., Houston police reported "dangerous crowd conditions" at one stage.

Minutes before Scott took the stage at 9 p.m., more than 260 people had already been treated, according to the logs.

Seeing so many young people getting CPR at one time, it's just something no one should have to go through."

Witnesses described traumatizing conditions, some saying they saw lifeless bodies being trampled amid the chaos while others had to fight their way out of the crowd as the music continued.

"It felt like it was the end for me," said attendee Selena Beltran, describing losing her balance as a crowd around her began jumping.
