Australian Teen Stunned After Waking Up To Find Out People Were Saying She Died At Astroworld

Australian Teen Stunned After Waking Up To Find Out People Were Saying She Died At Astroworld

The tragedy at Astroworld has made international headlines for the last several weeks after ten people died and hundreds more were injured during a crowd panic situation at Travis Scott's concert at the popular music festival.

It's transfixing in the worst way.


But one Australian teenager was transfixed for a completely different reason. People around the internet were falsely claiming she was one of the many dead at the concert.

Not only was she alive and well, but she'd never even been to the festival. In fact, when the concert was happening, she was safe and sound down under.

Amelyun Nguyen, the Sydney, Australia teenager in question, was absolutely flabbergasted when her photos and information started showing up around Twitter as one of the victims of the concert.

"I was honestly very confused and was wondering how people found my pictures," she said to BuzzFeed News.

But TikTok's got jokes.

Nguyen said she was coming home from school when her Instagram started to blow up.

As the rumor of her death spread quickly, people attempted to reach out to her family and friends to express condolences.

"My high school in Toronto has made a GoFundMe for your daughter," one misguided kind soul messaged her.

Nguyen is also not a Travis Scott fan by any stretch of the imagination, as she clarified, "before and after the incident."

The question remains, then, how Nguyen was singled out in the first place, as nobody had any reason to believe she was at Astroworld, halfway across the world in the United States, seeing a Travis Scott concert.

The list of victims who died at Astroworld is available here, and is correctly missing Nguyen.

The most recent, a 9-year-old boy, succumbed to his injuries on Sunday.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
