Beyoncé concertgoers injured in an escalator malfunction at the Vine City MARTA station are disputing the agency's claim that a "stampede" caused the incident, emphasizing that the crowd was calm before the escalator unexpectedly sped up and stopped. Jaylen Black, who suffered severe injuries, criticized MARTA for inadequate crowd management and emergency response, stating the situation was preventable. The incident, which sent seven people to the hospital, has raised concerns about MARTA's preparedness for future large events, including the upcoming World Cup games.
