At least 65 people were killed and scores were wounded Friday when a crane collapsed in the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia's civil defense authority said.
The accident happened as pilgrims from around the world converged on the city, Islam's holiest site, for the annual Hajj pilgrimage, which takes place this month.

Another video, on a Twitter posting, captured the apparent moment of the crane's collapse during a heavy rainstorm, with a loud boom, screams and confusion.

Glad to hear they didn’t use manual labor - instead they got Mecca-nized.

All those dead people and nobody gets 72 virgins ... it was an act of Allah!

Impossible. I have it on good authority that lightning, like fire, cannot melt steel.

Plane crash, crane crash, 911, the Judgement of God. Interesting times in which we live.

I know, that was my first thought. A reverse 9-11.

They don’t get the virgins unless they die in war though.

Yeah, that is pretty freaky on the timing what with it being 9/11 over here.
Certainly an evil doctrine taught over there.
