A stampede during one of the last rituals of the Hajj season -- the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca -- has killed more than 700 people and injured 800 others in Saudi Arabia.

The stampede occurred Thursday morning during the ritual known as "stoning the devil" in the tent city of Mina, about 2 miles from Mecca, Islam's holiest city.

craziness!

probably some Iranian agents causing it to shame Saudi Arabia. :ninja:

So the devil won this one then?

Seems like there is a stampede every time that kills a bunch of them. Darwin at work.

This would have made much more sense if they'd been going to stone Justin Beiber.

So, do they each get 72 goats?

 

[TwiceOver]

Sometimes I wonder what it is like to be such a nut burger for your particular religion.

Apparently. :sneaky:

Losing one's life during the Hajj season is considered by many devout Muslims as an entry to heaven.

The Devil is a tough one. They lost and the Devil wins the round.

From the story, it seems as though such stampedes are a somewhat regular occurrence.... D:

 

[Printer Bandit]

bad luck pilgrims.

 

[Ruptga]

About 3 million people in one place over two days... I wouldn't want to be a civil engineer responsible for ensuring their safety.

I want to say things, but I shouldnt. Good for them though. Free entry to heaven.

This doesn't occur in Georgia

The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet.
Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again,
I done told you once—you son of a bitch—I'm the best that's ever been.

I saw the video, healer didn't cover the tank fast enough after the tail-whip crit. Raid wiped and they're still waiting for the tank to walk back to the dungeon.

I'm talking about both sanitation engineers and hygeine.

Sanitation engineer, no.

Hygiene yes, that's what the left hand is for.
