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
http://usat.ly/1ULYlaZ
Doesn't have anything to do with 9/11 does it?

Does this Mecca you happy too? 
On the up side there is plenty of time for more accidents before the Haj is over.

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?

Ever visit a 2nd or 3rd world construction project? It's always been a mystery to me why there aren't many more of these sorts of accidents.

There are gazillions of construction accidents reported on Live Leak,, in all their gory details..  
http://www.liveleak.com/browse?q=construction+accident
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??
