Houston (CNN) Members of a densely packed crowd surged toward a stage and were crushed against each other at a Houston music festival Friday night. About 50,000 people were at the sold-out Astroworld Festival at NRG Park -- the stadium complex where the Astrodome and the NRG Stadium stand -- when the incident began just after 9 p.m. CT, officials said. "The crowd was squishing me so much that I felt like I couldn't breathe," Emily Munguia, 22, told CNN. I realized that people were dying," Amper, 22, told CNN. One of the patients hospitalized is 10 years old, and at last check was in critical condition, Peña told CNN Saturday morning.
