At least 87 people have died after a crane collapsed on the Grand Mosque in the Muslim holy city of Mecca, the Saudi Arabian government has said.

More than 180 people were injured in the accident, the country's civil defence authority said on Twitter.

Images from the scene showed part of a huge red crane crashed through the mosque's roof. The cause of the collapse is not known.

Mecca is currently preparing for the annual Muslim Hajj pilgrimage.

This is horrible, especially on a day like today. The mosque can have up to 2.2 million people inside it at any one time, can you imagine the terror?

I can't help but wonder how Muslims all around the world will interpret this omg :air: I mean, this is literally the most sacred place on the planet for them. That must be really weird, emotional and confusing for devout believers.

Tragedy could strike anywhere, how could something like this be predicted? Life is precious but so fragile. May those who died rest in peace.

Stand in the light, cast your shadow.

I really wonder sometimes... Our life is indeed so so fragile. Anytime, anywhere we could go away. There's no such a thing as "safe place" if we really consider it..
