Definitely not . Am not that kind of guy those who takes pleasure in others sorrow . I have lots more better things to cheer about personally and Nationally .
2nd: This was the quote of indian news channel . My credibility and intention of this news can be understood if you go through my update on this incident . Infact i was the first to break this news here and updated accordingly and kept ahead of official news report . Its called news and updates .
3rdly on DeJa Vu 9/11-September 11th :It's matter of fact sometimes Days destructions takes place has some commonality and pattern too . That's different subject altogether .And different topic which are highly investigated in details by many government authorities .
Thats expansion work going on !
Security always on high alert in religious places like Mecca . But the problem started when humans always greedy .

For people that like weird connections, aside from the 9/11 connection, keep in mind that the construction work was being done by the Construction group of...Bin Ladin Group!

"The construction work was being led by the construction giant Saudi Binladin Group, but it is not yet known which company the crane belonged to."

The Americans use MM/DD/YY format, while most other countries follow a DD/MM/YY format.
September 11 is not the same as 26-November or 11-June
The amount and pace of expansion projects is overwhelming.

RIP poor pilgrims. Very sad. Nothing from masjid al-haram is left except ugly Suadi Las vegas hotels and crapy junks around it ... The have mistaken masjid al-haram with play ground.
Just few days back a massive fire burnt one of the biggest Saudi oil compamie.

Riyadh: Two Indian Haj pilgrims, one from Kerala and the other from West Bengal, were among the 107 people killed in the crane accident at the Grand Mosque in the Saudi Arabian holy city of Mecca, while 15 Indians are among the injured, officials said on Saturday.
According to External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup, 15 Indians have been injured in the incident. They are being treated at hospitals and assistance have been provided to them.
He added that senior officers, including India's Consul General, are on the ground in Mecca. Indian doctors have been deployed in all government hospitals.
"Regrettably we have been informed that 2 Indians have been killed in the unfortunate accident. They were from Kerala," Swarup added.
A 33-year-old woman from Palakkad has been identified among the dead. A relative of the victim told reporters at her home here that the news was conveyed to them by her husband Muhammed Ismail.
"They left from here on Tuesday (for the Haj). The sad news has not been conveyed to their three young children. The last rites would be performed there and Ismail will return only after completing the pilgrimage," said the relative.
The Ministry of External Affairs, meanwhile, said that the second Keralite has not yet been identified. However, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said a woman from the state is among those killed in the crane accident.
"As of now, one death and two injuries have been reported from our state. Muniza Ahmed from Asansol has lost her life. Liakat Hossain from West Midnapore and Hasem Ali from Malda have received injuries," Banerjee said on Facebook.
In the meantime, General Suleiman al-Amr, director general of the Civil Defence Authority, told al-Ikhbariya television: "All those who were wounded and the dead have been taken to hospital. There are no casualties left at the location.”
Strong wind and rains had uprooted trees and rocked cranes in the area, he said.

At least 107 people were killed when a crane toppled over at Mecca`s Grand Mosque on Friday, Saudi Arabia`s Civil Defence authority said, less than two weeks before Islam`s annual haj pilgrimage.
At least 238 people were wounded, Saudi Arabia`s Civil Defence body said.
Vikas Swarup, official spokesperson, MEA posted on Twitter - "Our Consulate in Jeddah is monitoring situation in Makkah following tragic accident. We have received reports that 9 Indian pilgrims are injured."

Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson, Vikas Swarup, this morning tweeted the helpline numbers.
The 24X7 helpline numbers to reach the Indian mission in Saudi Arabia are:
