DUBAI: At least 62 people were killed
when a crane crashed in Mecca's
Grand Mosque on Friday, Saudi Arabia's
Civil Defence authority said on its
Twitter account, an accident that came
just weeks before the Muslim annual
haj pilgrimage.
Pictures circulating on social media
showed pilgrims in bloodied robes and
masses of debris from a part of the
crane that seemed to have crashed
through a ceiling.
Saudi authorities go to great lengths to
be prepared for the millions of Muslim
who converge on Mecca to preform the
sacred pilgrimage.
Last year, the kingdom reduced the
numbers permitted to perform haj for
safety reasons because of
construction work to enlarge the
Grand Mosque. Source
