>> The crush and stampede
A stampede of what? Buffalo, horses, camels, whales...
What’s the breakdown in Sunni, Shiite, etc.?
That’s a fairly shocking number of deaths. If it hadn’t been for hearing that deadly stampedes have happened at this event in the past I would have for sure chalked this up to being a sign from God, being the times we’re in now.
It's not like they are really human. Humanity implies, demands, empathy.
Only the Muslims and Hindus are capable of so much self-generated carnage.
So we have 2,177 down, several more Billion to go.
Maybe we can try to convince all of the Muslims in the world to go on the Haj at the same time, on the same day and then the problem will take care of itself...
A higher than average death toll, but the Hajj stampede is really a feature of their religion.
We must ban, um, stampedes.
When the death toll reaches billions I’ll be happy.
Compare those figures to actual number in World Trade Towers
Did someone shout, “BACON”?
It was a Hajj Pajj of arms legs. Someone screamed afterward,
“Where are the Virgins”, “Bring in the Virgins, and get rid of these Dead Clowns”
savages
Life has no value in their society
Not nearly enough.
Keep stampeeding there moosies.
“We are the Borg resistance is futile” was heard coming from the big black cube.
Great! That’s a record breaker if true.
“The previous deadliest-ever incident at hajj was a 1990 stampede that killed 1,426 people.”
Some joker way at the back of the crowd “oinked”.
