    "One moment, Namrata Shahani had control over her body. The next, she did not.

    Waiting for rapper Travis Scott to take the stage, she and those around her became one, trapped in an intensifying wave. They squeezed tighter, flesh against flesh, an imperceptible force pulling them deeper into the mass. Namrata grasped the hand of her older sister, Bharti, who asked, not for the first time, “Are you OK?”

    Namrata, 20, couldn’t answer. It felt like she was drowning."
