Re: Hajj Death Toll
GenSec,
Stampedes generally occur on the final day of Hajj, which is tomorrow. The reason is the only ritual to carry out on this day is the stoning so everyone tries to get it done as soon as possible and head back to Mecca in order to beat the ques. This creates a huge bottleneck of crowds in the Jamarat area leading to stampedes. However the Saudis have improved the area to accomodate more pilgrims so things should be better this time. So far everything seems to have gone smoothly so it should be ok inshallah.
