Imagine being a ticket inspector

That's the London Midland service to Euston, one more reason to go Virgin 1st Class!

Sad to see anyone get killed needlessly irrespective of their religion.

Some big lessons to be learnt by the organizers on how to manage such a big crowd.

Seems to happen every year. Perhaps the organisers just don't give a toss.

Steelydan's comment is a disgrace though. And not just because he should have used "fewer".

Apparently, stampede kills over 700...oh well, less refugees/migrants I guess

Hajj stampede: At least 717 killed in Saudi Arabia - BBC News

How is a piligrimage to Mecca related to refugee/migrants ?

It isn't. The OP is a Weapons Grade Bellend.

As opposed to the other Civilian level Bellends we have around here.

Allah wanted them dead

They wanted to be near their god
and now they are.

My thoughts exactly.

Imagine being a ticket inspector

Or the driver.

Really?

They were your thoughts?

Never mind, the Outrage Bus will be along shortly for those that missed the Outrage Bandwagon which shot off at high speed at about 3/4 of the way down page 2 of the thread.

Mass deaths to crushing are a frequent feature of the Hajj, arguably an unavoidable feature.
A combination of a relatively small area and an awful lot of people, many of who do not have the concept of an orderly queue in their culture. To top it off it's a bit warm there which tends to make people tetchy.

That's the politically correct version anyway.
