boobtank 9,090 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 At least 310 people taking part in the Hajj pilgrimage have been killed in a stampede near the Islamic holy city of Mecca, officials in Saudi Arabia say. Another 450 people were injured in the incident at Mina, between Mount Arafat and Mecca's Grand Mosque. The stampede occurred as more than a million pilgrims were taking part in the last major rite of the Hajj. Earlier this month, a crane collapsed at Mecca's Grand Mosque, killing 109 people and injuring some 400 others. The Hajj had been largely incident-free for the past nine years as a result of a series of safety improvements made the Saudi authorities. In 2006, a stampede during the symbolic stoning of the devil at Mina left 364 pilgrims dead. - I'm so sad for all these people and the family of these people, my thoughts go out to all of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz 4,253 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 so how does a stampede start during the hajj? i mean what part of the ceremony causes people to create a stampede? I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lego 44,165 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 so how does a stampede start during the hajj? i mean what part of the ceremony causes people to create a stampede?There are around 2-3 million people and they warn usually if you missed some part not to turn back, just go with the flow. So it's possible that some did try to go back but that huge ammount of people is not stopping so they go over you.It's really tragic. Anyway, I wouldn't post this type of news here, 'cause some were celebrating last time. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping they got banned, there's nothing to celebrate about many innocent peoples deaths. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's been 9 years without incidents, that's why they are all the time expanding that area, it's not easy to host such huge number of people. Many also don't follow the instructions, unforunatelly. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
