This was not the first time there have been stampedes and deaths at the Hajj. You have to wonder, what is up with that religion, or adherents of that religion, to cause deaths at an event which is supposed to be a profession of one’s deep faith in that religion????

Are there stampedes at the Vatican when the faithful visit? Stampedes in Jerusalem when visitors go to holy sites there???

The source link has a timeline going back to 1975. I’m sure that’s just a drop in the bucket and these stampedes go back thousands of years.

Cult 'religion' induced, trance-like insanity on ignorant people.

Death is what's up with that religion.

You don't get 2m people simultaneously visiting at the Vatican. The stampede is the result of inadequate crowd control combined with an inherently difficult situation. NY's Times Square area has 1m people every New Year's Eve and no stampedes despite general inebriation because of 10,000 cops, crowd control barricades everywhere and crowd barriers called skyscrapers, whose glass doors could have been shattered to alleviate any crush. Whereas the Saudis had 2m people to deal with, but all out in the open.

“Are there stampedes at the Vatican when the faithful visit? “

Bart: Stampeding cattle.
Hedley Lamarr: That’s not much of a crime.
Bart: Through the Vatican?
