2 million is still a very high number.This is something which needs to be considered.Last time we have greater number of people and Sauds hosted them in fabulous manner.If number is not the problem then something else is,and for such purpose,we need to wait till investigation is completed.I agree!

Yes, it is. One needs to experience the Hajj themselves before they can realize what a logistic nightmare it can be at times but for obvious reasons KSA has mastered that difficult trade after years of practice. Unfortunately we are humans and prone to committing mistakes. I of course have no idea (nobody has yet) what caused this tragedy to occur so I will not pass any judgements. All I can say is that this should not be linked to the expansion project as that has been ongoing since 2007. In that time period (2007 until now) a similar number of hajis have visited each year and no tragedy (stampede) occurred until today. This is important to have in mind.
I have to admit that I am still shocked. First the Makkah crane collapse (freak accident during extremely bad sudden weather, typical of Makkah at times) 2 weeks ago and now this.
