He told Entin the organizers failed to prepare him for the event and didn’t share any security plan with him before the show.

“I believe if we were all prepared the right way, that stuff would not have happened the way it did. Honestly, even with the amount of people that passed and went unconscious … the amount of injuries could have been avoided,” he said.

The instructions included how to deal with a dead attendee. The plan told the security guards to never use the word "dead" or "death" over the radio. The staff was told to use the word "smurf" to describe someone who died.
