The only thing “tragic” about this is that the death toll wasn’t double or triple.
Maybe we could encourage the towlies to have a haj twice a year ...

It occurred during the “stoning of the devil”.
You can’t just hand stones to thousands of Muslims and tell them to throw it at personification of Satan, without expecting mass injuries and death.

We have the same thing happen at the United Methodist General Conference every few years.

The stampede itself is not news but the higher death toll is.Rats. I was hoping for a new event.

A good start if you ask me. :-)
