ImKindOfAButtHole
I'd like to point out some people were apparently heartless enough to say "good, now they have their own 9/11", sick fucks.
witchzenka
How awful! Those poor people! Their poor families.
GetOffMyLawnYa
So sad. Words fail me.
graehall
Holy fucking shit. That's fucking horrible. I wish I had not looked that closely. That's awful.
RomaFrozenPizzas
That happened while they were building Miller Park, too. Those people just wanted to pray. Sad as fuck.
pongau11
I work in construction safety and this kinda stuff happens a lot more than we realize. It's terrifying. I'm so sad for these people :(
KyranGrant
My heart and prayers go out to those who were affected by this terrible accident.
kantseethehumeor
my prayers go out to them
JonSnowNotedWindmillExpert
And theirs went towards the box.

As a Christian, may Allah be with them

Those poor people. Everything can change in an instant.

In an Mmmbop they're gone?
MrBassoonBro
Yeah, it's like at one moment you're showing your affection for your god and the next you're squished by a crane by the power of nature.
memeallthethings
That blood on the floor :(
LordSupergreat
Don't say Fire Nation, don't say Fire Nation, don't say Fire Nation... yeah, like when the... Earth... Kingdom... attacks. Fuck.
Chocolatesmaster
As an athiest, a Salam a lakem (sp is horrible I know.) Know that my thoughts go out to all those injured or killed.
ohdearohdearohdeer
You just said 'hello'
lostlittletimeonthis
it was still lucky to not have happened on the main days...could have been much much worse, the mosque really gets super full
PandaTheGhost
Im so sorry for your loss.
CanYouTellMeHowToGetToSesameStreet
Gah. The blood and bodies. :( terrible. Upvote so more people know of this.
mousemarie94
Some of you need to get off of the American political band wagon. Read an actual book or article and stop watching fox news. Rx.
pongau11
I read that most people were at a different site because they haven't made it to Mecca yet, which is a factor that saved hundreds.
whereareallthenicepeopleat
Thankfully the Hajj was more than a week away, which saved thousands really.
pongau11
Yes! Thank you for making my vague comment clearer. It's an amazing stroke of luck. Still a horrible tragedy, regardless.
whereareallthenicepeopleat
Definitely.
alex31461
Honestly if i were to die I'd be happy knowing that i died in a holy place.
RavioliRavioliEndMyExistenceoli
What happened, can someone give me detail, please?
mstalltree
There was a windy thunder storm and one of the cranes fell over because of the wind.
HamadaWhiteman
A crane fell in the grand mosque supposedly due to harsh weathers. To be honest the workers were to blame.
Nobunagajay
How horrible, I hope they find peace.
Dipityseren
It's so awful that I was *relieved* when I found out it was an accident and not terrorists targeting this scared spot. Such a terrible loss.
Vicari0usMe4
Aren't you not allowed to take pictures at Mecca?
fudgesickle
Depends on the context.
Bearto
At least they died in Mecca, probably the best place to die if you're Muslim.

JamShady
From their perspective, it's a good death (so to speak), they're martyrs & will be resurrected in a state of pilgrimage
whymustthegoodusernamesbetaken
To the people downvoting, martyr is a poor translation of the word "shaheed" which is what these people are. Shaheeds are guaranteed heaven
fudgesickle
In this instance, passing away in the Holy Lands it is considered a good thing to be a martyr.
zaia
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
Rartorata
It does, actually. It's as good a translation as we can get.
Unbentsuperpyro
princessbride.gif
DrowningLessons
Why the fuck is this getting downvoted? They died on pilgrimage, they're martyrs.
malachitedragon
The word 'Martyr', to many people, implies they died to become an example for something. I don't think dying in an accident fits.
JamShady
They died as 'shaheed' in Arabic, the closest translation is martyr. Essentially, they died in the path of practising Islam
malachitedragon
I don't know anything about that; he asked why it was being downvoted, I tried to provide an answer. I'm not religious.
TerrorBite
Also on a Friday, which is their holiest day.
quotenuschi
awww, they are probably very happy now
wonderbug
cue some right wing nutjobs calling it divine retribution in 3.. 2..
WithNothingBetterToDo
Wow, just wow, check out bad comments guys.. have some empathy
Ivesaidtoomuchalready
I think this is one post I'll stay out of the bad comments I'm in no mood to become angry. I hope the victims and family find peace.
whereareallthenicepeopleat
Don't go to most articles' comment sections about it either then. So much hate it's depressing.
cosinewave
That is really horrible.
WhimsicalCalamari
I know it won't, but I hope it stops the rampant building around the Grand Mosque. That profiteering in religion's name is all too familiar.
MRWIRealiseYouCanChangeUsernames
184 injured, 107 dead. Terrible terrible accident
hippopoopamoose
I feel bad for upvoting this, but thanks for the info.
beardyfaceguy
That's horendous. Do you ever read something and your whole body just 'sinks' and you feel ill and helpless to do anything?
MRWIRealiseYouCanChangeUsernames
Well said
aFatFinley
and it happened on 9/11, yikes
MushySnugs
allah was pissed at someone
GodOfDownvotes
Good. I mean it.
reaperhead
Was the high number of deaths due to the density of the ppl there? The Crane doesn't look like it'd cause that much damage
isthatyoujohnwayne
I'd say so
funkjacket
And on the anniversary of 9/11, too. Maybe Allah is trying to teach them something.
CakeOfRage
Are you shitting me, dude? The fuck.
TheMonsterWithinYou
Or you know, maybe it's just a terrible accident.
BoobiesMeow
Or terrible construction code violations
allonz
Someone I know on fb said they were glad they died on 9/11 cause they deserved it....
demizu
someone you know deserves to almost die. over and over.
allonz
He said it seemed fitting. My fiancé told him that that was poor taste and called a psedu intellectual....
themobileappisbroken
it feels wrong to upvote this because it implies i'm pleased with this. which i'm not.

themobileappisbroken
you're an idiot.
elrick43
I know what you mean,
PuppyGotPeopleToBarkAtAndThingsToSniff
We upvote if we appreciate the content. This makes me sad as fuck... But I appreciate it being brought to my attention.
mirria
"Upvote" makes more sense as "make more popular". Facebook? "My grandma/dad/son/coworker/cat died..." "LIKE!"
ThePsychoanalyst
you're spreading a new, and that's not bad
BewilderedBeaver
Upvoting doesn't mean liking. It means worth seeing.
GnomeAndGarden
Here, I'll give you an upvote, and you can tell OP that first one was from me, OK? Remember, upvotes are recyclable!
BoobDylan
No. We upvote for awareness, it's fine dude.
Enteyex367
was going to say, it's not for pleasure, it's for awareness
FuzzyX
You upvote for awareness to make more people aware of what you value or what you believe is important.
Sevaceri
i always felt up voting meant you thought more people should see it.
softservant
Building codes people, building codes.
HisImperialMastermind
I don't think they would skimp out on probably the most holy mosque in the Muslim world.
Acarus
Worst sandstorm in years hit the area, which toppled that crane.
lud1
you guys should have read some of the comments on German social media...I'm once more deeply ashamed of my country
presureinthebutt
Thats the reason why i deleted my facebook account.
whereareallthenicepeopleat
Unfourtunately, this seems to be true for most of us. Here in the U.S, some people wished that more would have died.
hamster123
same with some comments here, and on reddit, sure they get downvoted sometimes, but im still ashamed to share a site with people that [1]
hamster123
get off on stuff like this and see it as a way to share their anti religion/islam shit, i mean talk about tasteless jokes and then some
Shoujo
You need not be ashamed of your country, because it happens all over Europe. Also because you guys actually do something, be proud!
SSColonelHansLanda
As a non German speaking person, what did they say?
lud1
in a nutshell: "haha", "karma", "serves them right", "less refugess for us", etc

So etwas gibt es in so ziemlich jedem Land, bei Facebook verliert man aber sowieso in jedem Land die Hoffnung and die Menschheit.
Glittershart
No human being deserves this, it doesn't matter what day it is!! What is wrong with you people??? Don't ever wish ill upon someone else
TheBawz
FINALLY someone else who has this mindset!
bojengals
What if it was ISIS head quarters
TheLordLucifersBannedAccount02
Exactly. Idiots need to thinl.
Mandalorianjedi
The ISIS feel the same about you. Be the better man. No one deserves this.
CoatHanger
To be fair, bojengals probably hasn't killed thousands of people. Probably. ISIS is pretty shitty.
tehsquee
I agree, but being the better man would not stop them from doing something far worse to you.
DingusMcButtFace
I'd rather die loving my enemy than live being like them
beardyfaceguy
Let's not worry about that right now. Let's take some time to morn in respect of the innocent people lost today.

On this of all days. My American heart goes out to the real Muslims.

Another case of defining the ones who form the core as "fake" and the passive, silent, inactive majority supporting that core as "real".

BillPostersIsAnInnocentMan
These are just regular people killed in an accident. Some people (not you) are real fucking assholes because of where it was
PigeonFace
No matter where it was, even if they were real Muslims, it's the exact same devastation and sorrow for their families. :(
crake2012
Ah. When I saw it happened in a Mosque I assumed the majority would be Muslim. My ignorance spans much in the way of religion.
emperorunknown
Well considering its the great mosque and any non-muslim would probably be in great peril/imprisoned your first assumption is quite correct.
Vanbytheriver
No non-Muslims are allowed in the city. They were all Muslim, yes.
BillPostersIsAnInnocentMan
They probably were. Muslims are regular people too. This accident happened to people.
crake2012
Oh...that's what you meant. Yes. Agreed. Sad such things need to be said. Should just be part of the general understanding.
BillPostersIsAnInnocentMan
One would hope
blanketz
As opposed to what?
Athang
Maybe I'm wrong, but he might've meant Muslim extremists that misinterpret their own religious texts, thus not being "true" Muslims.
Athang
Since I expect most people think of those associated with 9/11.
Verldemert
The fake ones, duh.
blanketz
Ahh... Which ones are the fake ones again?
TeamDoberman
The ones that rape children, and bomb civilized dwellings. Those guys.... The rest of The world is already on the same page
CleverlyReferencedThing
The ones who used/use their interpretation of their religion to wage war on those who don't agree with them
takopoke
You know, as a first generation Egyptian dude in his 20's who was born and raised here by muslim parents. THANK YOU. 1/? Thank you for
rattlesnail
I worked with a muslim guy and i met an began to understand a new and beautiful culture. The people were amazing and very loving.
takopoke
Understanding that extremists are fucking extremists. I'm not religious by any means and my very Muslim parents, are ok with that.
takopoke
Thank you for this comment. It makes me happy that there are people who really do get this. I saw this post on Facebook earlier and some guy
takopoke
Posted it as "well I guess that's karma!" the islamaphobia that goes around is just really too bad. so again, thank you.
hropt
Whoever posted that is a jerkwad.
CoatHanger
As an American atheist, fuck anyone who insults Muslims by categorizing them with terrorists.
Xionis
As another American, I promise most of us realize it's less than 1% causing the problems. Extremists give all of us a bad name.
