What’s the breakdown in Sunni, Shiite, etc.?

That’s a fairly shocking number of deaths. If it hadn’t been for hearing that deadly stampedes have happened at this event in the past I would have for sure chalked this up to being a sign from God, being the times we’re in now.

A higher than average death toll, but the Hajj stampede is really a feature of their religion.

Great! That’s a record breaker if true.
“The previous deadliest-ever incident at hajj was a 1990 stampede that killed 1,426 people.”

The only thing “tragic” about this is that the death toll wasn’t double or triple.
Maybe we could encourage the towlies to have a haj twice a year ...

It occurred during the “stoning of the devil”.
You can’t just hand stones to thousands of Muslims and tell them to throw it at personification of Satan, without expecting mass injuries and death.
