At least 87 people died and more than 200
people were injured when a crane collapsed in
the Muslim holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
The huge red crane crashed into a part of the
Grand Mosque - the largest in the world - that
was filled with worshippers at the time.
The head of Saudi Arabia's civil defence said
strong winds and heavy rains had caused the
collapse.
Mecca is currently preparing for the annual
Muslim Hajj pilgrimage.
Hundreds of thousands of people are expected
to arrive in the Saudi city from all over the
world later this month.
The collapse happened at 17:23 local time
(14:23 GMT), said Director-General of the
Saudi Civil Defence Authority, Lt Sulayman
Bin-Abdullah al-Amr.
It happened at a time when many worshippers
were there for Friday prayers.
The toll for the dead and injured, tweeted by
the Civil Defence Authority (in Arabic),
continued to rise throughout the evening.
Shortly before the crash, the city had been hit
by unusually high levels of rainfall and winds
of up to 83kph (50mph), Lt Amr said.
A video posted on YouTube, which could not
be independently verified, appeared to record
the moment the crane fell, with a loud crash
heard in the background followed by panic
and shouting.
Images circulating on Twitter showed what
looked like numerous bodies and blood on the
floor of the mosque.
Lt Amr said an investigation was being carried
out to assess the damage, and the "extent of
the safety of these sites".
Mecca is preparing to welcome Muslims from
around the world for the annual Hajj
pilgrimage, which begins in about 10 days'
time.
Islam requires that every Muslim capable of
doing so performs a pilgrimage to the site at
least once in their lifetime.
Saudi authorities began a major expansion of
the site last year to increase the area of the
mosque by 400,000 square metres (4.3 million
square feet), to allow it to accommodate up to
2.2 million people at once.
More than three million people undertook the
Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca in 2012. Saudi
authorities have taken steps since 2013 to
limit the number of people involved. Large
numbers of people have resulted in several
tragedies over the years, including a stampede
in 2006 that killed nearly 350 people. Source : www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34226003

At least their virgins are still far better than ur own prostitute. Anyway, may Allah grant d deceased AL Janat firdaus and grant d injured quick recovery.
What has been destined to happen will surely happen irrespective of where you are.
