Houston continues to heal from the events of last Friday's Astroworld Festival.
Trauma comes in many forms. The full extent of their damage may yet to be fully revealed by the attendees, families, and the city.
Attorneys Tony Buzzbee and Sean Roberts discuss their client’s injuries who claim they have been harmed by AstroWorld, including loss of life.
