The news special was removed due to heavy backlash.

The full extent of both the causes and damages of the crowd crush incident during Travis Scott’s concert at the Astroworld festival last month are still under investigation. Multiple lawsuits have either been filed or are already in progress against Scott himself, as well as event organizers Live Nation.

Earlier in the week, streaming platform Hulu released an hour-long news documentary about the event entitled Astroworld: Concert From Hell. Rather than Hulu themselves, this documentary was produced by a local ABC news station in Houston.

“Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival was supposed to be the concert of a lifetime,” the description of the documentary reads. “But it turned into a tragic nightmare. A minute-by-minute look at what happened in the crowd, the young victims who were killed, and what happens next.”

The fact that it released on Hulu drew heavy backlash on social media platforms, as many decried the production for being in poor taste.

“Hulu making a documentary about Astroworld is in poor taste all around,” reads a popular tweet on the matter written by Twitter user @LilAioli. “People are still burying their loved ones. The legal cases haven’t even started. Great documentaries are done when all the facts are laid out. Not enough time has passed to fully discuss this.”

In response to the backlash, Hulu removed the documentary from their service, clarifying that they were not the ones who produced it. “This was an investigative local news special from ABC13/KTRK-TV in Houston that originally aired on November 20th,” a Hulu spokesperson explained to Variety. “This was not a Hulu documentary and has since been removed to avoid confusion.”
