Given the importance of Mecca, its awesome that it happened, however. Safety of the people over religion, as painfull as that can be.

Question just came to my mind: Where were they doing all those car comercials with empty streets before?

For one movie they specially built a 2 mile loop just for filming.

They get a permit to shut down a stretch of roadway for a while to film the commercials.

No idea, but they're shooting the next 20 years worth of commercials right now.
