A tragic crowd surge occurred on November 5 at a Travis Scott concert, leaving eight people dead and hundreds injured.
Those confirmed dead were between the ages of just 14 and 27 and at least two criminal investigations are now underway.
Questions have been posed as to how the crush was allowed to happen at the Texas concert and a lawsuit seeking £741,000, the equivalent of $1 million in damages has also been filed accusing Scott and guest rapper Drake of negligence, by an attendee of the event.
Over the years, several serious crowd surges have occurred, resulting in people's deaths.
What is a crowd surge?
Crowd surges or crushes happen when people are concentrated too tightly in one area, restricting their ability to breathe.
They are frightening reminders of how large events should be properly managed for the safety of all those attending. Here are a few of the most significant.
The Hillsborough Disaster
The Hillsborough tragedy occurred in April 1989, during an FA Cup semi final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
Fans were crushed in an overcrowded area of the Leppings Lane end at the Hillsborough stadium in Sheffield, the home of Sheffield Wednesday. The match was eventually abandoned .
In 2016, inquests concluded 96 fans had been unlawfully killed. When 55-year-old Andrew Devine died earlier this year, he was named by a coroner as the 97th victim of the disaster.
A jury also ruled that policing errors caused a dangerous situation for supporters, combined with a poorly maintained ground that did not have the required safety certification. This led to fans being concentrated in a small area of the stand, leading to crushes.
A cover up took place after the event and police told officials that fans had caused the disaster by forcing a gate open, this falsehood was also repeated by match commander Chief Supt David Duckenfield.
At the enquiry, Duckenfield said that his own "serious professional failures" were responsible.
Senior members of South Yorkshire Police, responsible for marshalling the day's game, redacted statements from police officers describing what had happened, as many of the officer's statements were deemed to be incriminating to the force.
They have since given an "unreserved apology". South Yorkshire and West Midlands Police agreed a settlement claim to pay damages to over 600 people due to the cover up, earlier this year.
Disasters in the UK - Bethnal Green
In 1943, 173 people were killed at Bethnal Green tube station. Tube stations were common places of sanctuary during bombing raids in the Second World War.
When an air raid siren was sounded on 3 March, people nearby promptly moved into the station that could house around 7,00 people during a raid.
Supposedly startled by a loud noise, a woman carrying a child slipped at the bottom of one of the staircases, causing people behind to trip over them and to pile up.
East London History said: "It is estimated that around 300 people ended up in the crowd on the ground at the bottom of the staircase in less than 20 seconds; over half of them died from crush injuries or asphyxiation."
The Bethnal Green disaster was the second deadliest crowd surge to have happened across the UK.
Sunderland's Victoria Hall
The worst by death count in the UK happened in Sunderland in 1883, when 2,000 children attended a variety show in Sunderland's Victoria Hall.
At the end of the performance, it was announced that children with certain numbered tickets were eligible for prizes.
A study by Sunderland City Council said: "Already excited by the afternoon’s entertainment, and not wanting to miss out, many of the 1100 children in the gallery began to stream downstairs to claim their prize.
"At the foot of the stairs, the exit door had been opened inwards and bolted so as to create a gap of about 20 inches (50cm) that would allow one child at a time to leave.
"This was probably done to control the flow of children and make it easier to check their tickets. However, with few adults present and no one organising an orderly queue, the children simply rushed for the door."
The door likely created a blockage in the stairwell. 183 children were killed. According to the study, an entire class of 30 from a local Sunday school died and some families lost all of their children.
Saudi Arabia - the Hajj
The Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca is one of the most importance experiences Muslims across the world can have, and it is estimated that well over 2 million people take part every year.
There have been several serious incidents of crowd surges at the Hajj.
In 1990, 1,426 people were killed in what became known as the 'Mecca tunnel tragedy '.
270 people were killed in 1994, 118 in 1998 and 345 in a stampede in 2006 in what were the most serious of a number of incidents at the Hajj over thee years.
In 2015, a stampede became the most serious incident to date. The Saudi government officially puts death figures at the Mina stampede as 769, but the Associated Press believes there to have been over 2,400 people killed.
