King: SR1m for family of each crane victim

JEDDAH:
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman on Tuesday ordered that top officials of the Saudi Binladin Group be banned from traveling outside the kingdom after probers pinned the blame partially on the construction company for Friday’s deadly crane crash in Makkah.
A royal court announcement carried by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said the king is reviewing the report of the Accident Investigation Committee, which suggested negligence on the part of the Saudi Binladin Group, but concluded that it found an “absence of criminal suspicion.”
The report said “the main reason for the accident is the strong winds while the crane was in a wrong position.”
Some 111 people were killed and 331 injured when the giant crane being used in the expansion project at the Grand Mosque toppled and crashed into a portion of the mataf (circumambulation area) around the holy Kaaba on Sept. 11.
Pending completion of the investigation, all members of the Board of Directors of Binladin Group, as well as Bakr bin Mohammed bin Ladin and senior executives in the group and others connected with the project are banned from leaving the kingdom, said the royal court order.
King Salman also ordered the payment of the following to the families of the victims:
1. SR1,000,000 to the family of each person killed in this accident;
2. SR1,000,000 to each injured whose injury resulted in permanent disability;
3. SR500,000 to each of the other injured.
According to SPA, such payment would not deprive the families of the deceased as well as the injured from the right to claim for private right before the competent judicial authorities.
The king also issued directives to host two family members of the deceased as the king's guests to perform Haj next year.
“The injured who cannot perform Haj this year can perform Hajjnext year as the king's guests. The families of the injured who stay in hospitals for treatment shall be granted visit visas to take care of the injured during the remaining period of Hajj and return back to their country,” the royal court said.

Subhannallah.
Indeed after every hardship comes ease.
Now that's a land with law.
May Allah forgive the sins of the departed that died on a blessed day, blessed hour and blessed land in a blessed month and grant them Jannah.
May Allah comfort the families they left behind. Even though no money can solve the pain but, it would go a long way in easing the pain and making them happy.
It's an honour to be a guest of Allah.
Many Muslims wish to be in the position of those that died.
May Allah make our ending a good one.

RIP.

Allahu Akbar. This is what is called sincere welfarism. May Allah grant them Paradise.

Money can't buy me stone in evertonian's voice

Alliamdullilahi. May Allah be with the king and forgive all our shortcomings

Allah is sufficient for us in all ramifications....May Allah grant the dead Aljanat firdaus..and the injured ones the strength to move on with their lives..Amin

The money can't bring them back anyway may Allah (swt) grant them eternal rest.

Allshu Akbar...may Allah grant the deceased Aljannatul firdaus..

Masha Allah
Allah Akbar
Though no amount of money can worth the death of one's love but i really eulogize Saudi Arabia authorities for this great gesture

Am sure some family in Nigeria that have relatives in Saudi presently would be like "y not him/her that died,at least we will have 60m to share"

May Allah make Al-jannah the abode of the dead

#200,000 for Nigeria car park bomb victims...

So if I am not a Muslim I can't comment. It shouldn't have been on front page either

[size=18pt]Chai.....i go go saudi arabia go injure sharp sharp[/size]

May Allah grant the dead victims Aljanat Fridaous, Amin. May He also give the injured victims quick recovery. Amin. #Alhamdullihah for the compensation from the king of KSA.

Wow! Tho money can't replace the lost lives but it'll ease pains and also fill some gaps the deceaseds left in dia various families. Even if anytin wasn't given, who are we to dispute Allah (SWT) over the matter, he does anything he wishes all down to destiny. May Almighty Allah (SWT) forgive the shortcomings of the deceaseds and grant them Al-Jannah firdaus. And also I say a congrats to the deceaseds, they died martyrs (all muslims shud knw the implication of dis). I also say Kudos to the Saudi kingdom, thay are a model.

Allahu Akbar..May Allah forgive the deceased n all Muslim Ummah across d globe

Allahu akbar. May the Souls of the departed rest in peace, and also, may the custodian of the two Holy Mosque be rewarded for the humanly gesture by remembering those involved, ameen summaAmeen
