This is a link post fucking hell, its like this mecca thing is really dangerous. Where's your God now?
AP has posted a list of accidents and tragedies which have marred previous hajj pilgrimages. It does not include the collapse of a crane in Mecca earlier this month, which killed more than 100, because that occurred days before the hajj began. The list shows that major loss of life during the pilgrimage had not occurred for some time.

2015: At least 150 people are killed and 400 injured in a stampede in Mina, on the outskirts of the holy city of Mecca. In the lead-up to hajj, at least 107 people are killed and scores wounded when a crane collapses in bad weather, crashing onto the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Islam’s holiest site.
___
2006: More than 360 pilgrims are killed in a stampede at the desert plain of Mina, near Mecca, where pilgrims carry out a symbolic stoning of the devil by throwing pebbles against three stone walls. The day before the hajj began, an eight-story building being used as a hostel near the Grand Mosque in Mecca collapsed, killing at least 73 people.
___
2004: A crush of pilgrims at Mina kills 244 pilgrims and injures hundreds on the final day of the hajj ceremonies.
___
2001: A stampede at Mina during the final day of the pilgrimage ceremonies kills 35 hajj pilgrims.
___
1998: About 180 pilgrims are trampled to death in panic after several of them fell off an overpass during the final stoning ritual at Mina.
___
1997: At least 340 pilgrims are killed in a fire at the tent city of Mina as the blaze was aided by high winds. More than 1,500 were injured.
___
1994: Some 270 pilgrims are killed in a stampede during the stoning ritual at Mina.
___
1990: The worst hajj-related tragedy claims the lives of 1,426 pilgrims in a stampede in an overcrowded pedestrian tunnel leading to holy sites in Mecca.


edit: 450+ now

This is a normal post LOLs!
In terms of percentage of total attendees those are pretty small losses.

Edit: Latest total is 717 dead, still a small proportion, and around 1/3rd that died in the Twin Towers, not that the two events are linked in anyway at all.

This is a normal post yeah, they do love their stampedes
but when you compare it to the number of people attending it's probably within national averages or something

why they have to go during a particular season?

Wouldn't it be easier if people could go on the Hajj year-round?

This is a normal post I'm not sure there's anything tragic about it
Unless you mean tragically stupid.

Falling into a volcano also seemed like a stand-out contender on that list.
