At least 87 people have died after a crane collapsed on the Grand Mosque of Mecca on Friday, Saudi authorities say.


According to Saudi Interior Ministry, at least 184 more people were injured in the incident.

The tragedy comes ahead of the annual Hajj pilgrimage which is due later this month. Millions of Muslims from around the world will converge on the holy city between September 21-26.

Local media reports suggested that the accident occurred due to heavy rains the Kingdom. The governor of the Makkah region, the capital of which is Mecca, Prince Khalid al-Faisal has ordered the launch of an investigation into the causes of the accident.

Photos taken from the scene and posted on social media show bodies lying in blood on the mosque’s floor surrounded by construction rubble and metal parts of the crane.

Great, How much you want to bet that some of the radicals blame the 'American cranes' that crushed mecca? I wouldn't put it past any of them.

Since, supposedly, only Muslims are allowed in Mecca, no foreign workers were injured. :-)
