(CNN) After a crowd surge at a Houston concert that left eight people dead and dozens injured, officials said they will investigate key causes and what could have been done to get attendees out of harm's way. Visitors pay honor to the victims of a crowd surge that left eight people dead at the Astroworld concert in Houston on Sunday, November 7, 2021. The investigation will cover "what caused, one, the issue of the crowd surge, and two, what prevented people from being able to escape that situation," Peña said Saturday. In 2019, the Astroworld Festival saw a similar incident when thousands rushed to get into the festival. A memorial was established for victims who died at the Astroworld Festival at NRG Park in Houston.
