This isn’t the first, or the worst, such incident during the hajj. And yet no one with any authority or responsibility to prevent these mass death stampedes, ever does.
In what other religion would this be considered acceptable?

Muslims kill more muslims than they do infidels.

...Hundreds have been killed in past years during the same ceremony...
Did someone shout, “Look out, there’s a Pig ahead?”

Compared to the usual death toll during the Haj, the casualties from that Who concert barely amount to a rounding error.

They are idiots. It happens year after year.
I have read several books on Saudi Arabia in the last 2 months and it is a common occurrence just like the article says.

The Koran specifically states that a person who dies during the Hajj is especially blessed and immediately transported to Paradise. A lot of older Muslims, especially women, are hoping to die on the Hajj. This is why the authorities do not stop it.
