107 muslims Martyred till now Sad

It was a very sad incident in the history of Islam , Rip all the victims of Mecca..
There are very lucky seriously, they died in Holy Kaaba.

I don't know whether they consider deaths from building collapse as "martyrdom". Anyway, it was a sad incident. That said, I don't know why they allowed the worshipers inside the mosque, when the construction activity was ongoing.

Crane collapse kills at least 107 in Mecca Grand Mosque

At least 107 people have been killed and 238 others injured after a crane collapsed in Mecca's Grand Mosque, Saudi Arabia's civil defence authority says.

Pictures posted online showed queues of Saudi men volunteering to donate blood for those injured in Friday's crash.

Al Jazeera's Hasan Patel, reporting from Mecca, said witnesses told him that a crane fell on the third floor of the Grand Mosque at around 5.30pm on Friday.

He said the mosque was packed even though the incident happened before the 6.30pm prayer.

Very sad news, I think this accident happen because of negligence and lack of safety measures. As per recent report more than 100 people died in this incident
It will happen again as it doesn't have a solid foundation. This is not a child's erector set but a massive undertaking being done by people uncertified to do the construction, there should be proper investigation to find out the root cause and those who are responsible for this incident should have been punished.

May be this is due to lack of incidence or some other reason , we don't know what happened and how happened. Investigation going on let see what happened. After investigation we will able to say that this is due to lack of safety measures.

You are right dear but in Islam * Holy Kaaba* is very important for Muslims and they were lucky they died in Holy Kaaba... They are martyr because they are going there for performing Hajj.
And yeah it was very sad incident not for muslims only , for all the humanity.

Expansion activities are going on. They didn't foresee any damage in the actual mosque area.
They should have taken more precautions.

HAPPY PATRIOT DAY.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE. PLEASE RETURN HOME TO YOUR GOATS.

God bless motherf**king America. It's payback time.

What have i missed? The crane was from an American construction company or what? Where America is involved in this? People died, and it is sad. They weren't from ISIS or other organization so we can cheer their death.

The crane was owned by the Bin Laden family.

The crane belongs to a German crane company operated by the Bin Laden family’s consortium, who are heading the expansion of the Holy Mosque.

Saudi BinLaden Group was founded by Osama’s Bin Laden’s billionaire father Mohammed and the sprawling construction conglomerate runs a large amount of major building contracts in the Sunni kingdom.

Pictures taken before the disaster show the crane being struck by a bolt of lightning and authorities are in little doubt extreme weather was to blame.

The crane fell into the east side of the mosque, with the top section of the structure crashing into the roof.

May the dead rest in peace.
The Saudi government should learn some valuable lessons from this in crowd management. There shouldn't have been a huge crowd nears parts where expansion work is going on.
