“This problem could be solved if the Saudis cared enough to stop shoving huge masses of frenzied people into small spaces. But the Saudis don’t care.”

The Saudis are the only game in town in Mecca. The hajj is a tremendous moneymaker for those who enjoy a complete monopoly on the central event in Islam.

So why shouldn’t they cram as many hajjis into as little space as possible?

I haven’t heard of any pilgrims getting killed in stampedes at Fatima or Lourdes.

[Mears]

Stampedes at Walmart have probably taken out a few.:-)

How many Christians have died at St. Peters at major celebrations?

Here are some other links. Incidentally, this did not occur AT the devil stoning place, but on approaching roads.
