Happy to hear Cherie's friends are safe.

This kind of tragedy happens so regularly there. The definition of madness is to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different outcome. Despite the billions the Saudis claim to have spent, they need to have a rethink.

That's good Cherie was about to ask if you had heard anything. You must be feeling so relieved.

Fantastic news Cherie.

I was just reading that the Saudi Royal family are blaming this tragedy on the actual crowds that got crushed.

Yes something to do with roads being closed to facilitate a state visit. I think it is a bit insensitive of the Health minister to immediately blame the pilgrims when all the facts are not known as yet.



Thanks all btw

'Saudi Arabia is under increasing pressure to improve safety for pilgrims in the wake of the deaths of at least 717 people in a stampede outside Mecca at the annual Muslim hajj.
More than 850 people were also wounded in the crush during the symbolic stoning of the devil at Mina, the worst tragedy during the hajj for 25 years. It was the second deadly accident affecting Mecca worshippers this month, after a crane collapse in the holy city killed more than 100.
Saudi Arabia’s King Salman has ordered an urgent safety review into the causes of the crush, to be chaired by the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef. Salman admitted there was a need “to improve the level of organisation and management of movement” of pilgrims, amid pressure from two of the most influential Islamic nations, Iran and Indonesia.'

Saudi health Minister Khaled al-Falih blamed victims for the disaster for failing to follow instructions, adding: 'This type of accident could have been avoided. However, this is God's will.'

This has been going on for years. It's a big money event and they have ignored safety fears for decades. This could have been avoided by limiting attendance but pure greed is what is causing countless sad situations like this at this event year in year out.
