60 dead in Mecca
 

Allah knocks over a crane in Mecca killing 60 and injuring over 30 more on first day of pilgrimage.

Check out this article from USA TODAY:

More than 60 dead in crane collapse in Mecca

Doesn't have anything to do with 9/11 does it?

Too bad it was such a small crane

Does this Mecca you happy too?:D

On the up side there is plenty of time for more accidents before the Haj is over.

I was hoping for a MERS epidemic.

The best results come from the Muslim stampede

10,000 short of a good hit..
Ba Da Boom.

:munchin

I guess God willed it.

When researching my book, Osama's Angel I found that bin Laden's father had ingratiated himself with the Saudi King by bailing him out during hard times. In return, old man bin Laden got all the work on the holy sites in Saudi Arabia. Wont it be ironic if, on the anniversary of 9-11, that a bin Laden crane sends 87 martyrs to paradise?

The religion of peace meets Karma.

Guy- 87 down, 2890 to go....

BBC is reporting 107 dead and 230 hurt.

achmed will run out of vegans if this keeps up.. :munchin

Wow, from 60 to 80 in another report, now to 107 ...

Anyone else hearing those Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding bells ... like when a one-armed bandit hits three 7s ... or cherries if you'd like ??? :D

Interesting ....

.

There are gazillions of construction accidents reported on Live Leak,, in all their gory details.. :mad::eek:

It seems that most 2nd & 3rd world countries only have a safety budget to cover cell-phone and CCTV video??

I wonder if the cranes are for their fascination with the mecca hajj, rather than new construction??

Oh My,, :D

I just spit coffee on my keyboard. :D

As protection from anyone flying (crashing) a plane into the Mosque ???

It's not like anyone would do something like that, now would they ??? :munchin

Allah is indeed Akbar

Who says God doesn't have a sense of irony to go along with retribution?

Stampede kills hundreds at Hajj pilgrimage

Add a few more hundred,

"(CNN) —A stampede during one of the last rituals of the Hajj season -- the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca -- has killed more than 300 people and injured 450 others in Saudi Arabia.

The stampede occurred Thursday during the ritual known as "stoning the devil" in the tent city of Mina, about 2 miles from Mecca, Islam's holiest city..."

Praise be to Allah the Great and the Merciful....

Already up to 453.

This actually happens every time but seems to be getting better (or at least fluctuating):

1990: 1,426;
1994: 270;
1998: 118;
2001: 35;
2003: 14;
2004: 251;
2006: 346.

Thank the kind and gracious Allah for his gifts!
