87 Dead After Crane Collapses In Saudi Arabia's Grand Mosque Following Storm, Lightning Strike
At least 87 people were killed after a crane crashed earlier today in Mecca's Grand Mosque with Saudi Arabia's Civil defense adding another 184 people were injured in the fatal accident which takes place just weeks before Islam's annual Hajj pilgrimage which takes place between September 21-26.
The video captures the moment of the crane collapse:

According to Al Arabiya, the reason for the crane collapse were strong storms in the area, although there has been no official explanation yet.
Some point out pictures circulating on social networks showing a lightning strike hitting the area of the crane moments before the fatal collapse. Others point out the macabre coincidence that this tragedy takes place on the 14th anniversary of September 11.
As Reuters reports, the pilgrimage, one of the largest religious gatherings in the world, has been prone to disasters in the past, mainly from stampedes as pilgrims rushed to complete rituals and return home. Hundreds of pilgrims died in such a stampede in 2006.
Ironically, today's disaster comes as Saudi authorities have since lavished vast sums to expand the main hajj sites and improve Mecca's transportation system, in an effort to prevent more disasters.
Saudi authorities began a major expansion of the site last year to increase the area of the mosque by 400,000 square metres (4.3 million square feet), to allow it to accommodate up to 2.2 million people at once.
The crane that collapsed on Friday was one of a number dotted around the site as part of the construction project.

shemita begins?
If every one of them gets 72 virgins, they need more than 6,000 virgins at once.
Here’s the question. If they don’t have that many female virgins readily available, does it mean that the rest will be MALE virgins? ;-)
Looney
It went over backwards.... hard to do.
Allah 'Smites' 65 Muslims?
The real rod of god blasting the Saudis for their carrying out the 9/11 attacks.
Shouldn't we be cheering in the streets rather then sitting on our asses reading ZH ?
Whitey will pay!
BAN ASSAULT CRANES FOR THE KIDS!!!
Well as ironic it sounds, they were in the right place - just when you're talking to your god; the phone gets cut off and you find yourself face to face with the dude himself in whatever heaven or hell that might be. what do you ask next?
"What... no celebrating & dancing in the streets like you did 14 years ago?...
Hey, Payback's a mutha."
Signed... America 9/11/15
If this is payback then they missed by about 10,000 miles. If anyone needs payback it's our own leaders who participated in the treasonous 911 hoax that got 3,000 of us killed, and got us into bogus wars on the strength of lies.
Police had a sketch artist put together a composite drawing based on eye witness descriptions and are looking for this man last seen near the crane just before it tipped over.
All of those men wearing dresses in the mosque must have REALLY pissed off Allah.
BOOM!
You be smoted.
Smited.
smitten.
Were any camels injured?
@Spitzer, Why would we cheer when ordinary people anywhere are killed in a catastrophe? Maybe the Saudis are out of their depth when it comes to huge capital improvements like this, but the pilgrims don't deserve this, nor anyone else in the city for that matter.
The Bin Laden's are big in construction I hear.
Junction...I think maybe you don't know exactly who carried out the false flag you speak of......hint hint it wasn't the Amish!
@Stackers. Good call. I can't imagine that there isn't a failsafe switch to prevent raising the boom even close to overbalancing. The only thing I can figure is that the operator was lifting the boom and the lightning fried the shut off circuit. Maybe the operator was fried too and the winch kept pulling the boom until it either bent it over backwards or it just passed center of gravity and took the crane with it.
I spent a year over there(not in SA, but very close to it) and as hard as it seems to do that, those fuckers DO NOT CARE about anything safety related. at all. under any circumstances. Its amazing this kind of thing doesn't happen more often. I spent some time in their shipyards and it was fuckin scary. They were picking shit up off a boat in drydock with a huge crane, and while hooking it up, as few of us were commenting on how it was by far the shittiest wire rope splice any of us had ever seen, and it was a good thing nothing we had was very heavy. Not two weeks later, that same crane was swinging a giant anchor with a bnuch of chain stupidly still atached right over our boat when the fucker snapped about 10 seconds after swinging over. Boom. fell about 100 feet and landed with in 50 feet of a bunch of people. Couln't believe no one got crushed. Thats just one example of the shit you see living over there for a year.
They abuse every single thing they have until it breaks, aren't real fond of regular maintenance either. Those people could break an iron anvil with a rubber mallet, this really isnt surprising
Many years ago during an appearance on Johnny Carson, Kenny Rogers told a Saudia Arabia story. He had been living on the new American compound for at least a few weeks and was able to observe Saudi problem solving behavior. His clothesline was sagging and he requested that someone fix the problem. Instead of giving the turnbuckles a twist or two, some workers came and moved one of the post out a foot or so...then moved the other post too.
Rolls-Royce, Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz used to regularly send techs to the wealthy oil states because some of their luxury cars "just stopped working." In a majority of the cases, it was due to lack of basic maintenance (oil changes, tune-ups, etc.) and in some cases, it was just due to running out of fuel.
I would think they would be in danger of flipping over backwards if they were lifing or holding a heavy load and dropped it or the cable snapped. Can they do that? I still don't understand the physics of how those things can even lift such heavy crap without tons of weight on the back to counterbalance the whole thing.
Too bad it missed the holy rock of shit the idiots rub...
LMAO
That rock has peanuts in it.
Almost Impossible...Does anybody know where the missing counterweights are?
yes, they were sent to balance the oversized ass and head of the Kardashians
It's like the stock market. If you want to cash in on your virgins, you better be first through the gate.
It's a damn ponzi. Wait'll the Mujahideen find out.
Crane owned by Bin Laden Construction Group.
Likely a hit, the storm story just gives cover by blameing god.
So who was hit and why?
Like with gold, time to catch physical virgins. Not prayer virgins.
72 Virginians:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9346wHJnswA
If the specification is 'virgins' it doesn't have to be human. It could be virgin goats. Or virgin pigs.
Or old, mean Catholic nuns with rulers
or Madeleine Albright
It's actually a translation error... the reward is 72 white grapes.
Species of virgin has not been precisely specified.
I've always wondered when all the virgins have been deflowered, is another batch available or are you stuck with the original ones?
Miffed;-)
sloppy 72nds for eternity
Miffed - You beat me to asking the same thing. Maybe the busted hymans grow back...
Supposedly their virginity is restored.
Not kidding.
their virginity is restored...
I just figured maybe their god was sending them there to make sure they remained virgin throughout eternity. Not exactly my idea of heaven, but evidently it works for some.
jmo.
That means the comex will default Looney. At last.
And if they don't have MALE virgins available, next up is the livestock,
and then there is always fish... http://pulse.ng/gist/disgusting-man-found-with-video-of-bestiality-porn-...
Standard Disclaimer: I NEED MIND BLEACH STAT...
You forget it's 72 virgins and 28 young Beardless (prepubescent) boys.
Allah can make new virgins at will.
The shemita year ends tomorrow. Rosh HaShana.

Coincidence? There is no such thing. Something wicked this way cometh......

Wrong!
The storm was caused by HALO and Chemtrails,...
The crane was designed by the Mossad,...
The crane operator was a CIA operative,...
The construction project was funded by the Rothschilds.
There; did I touch all the bases?
No you forgot about Bush and the Koch brothers...
Stonecutters.
<--The 87 dead and the 2.2 million pilgrims are crisis actors.
<--Mecca is not real and never existed.
There is some yankee consultant out there who made the blueprints, laughing his testes off...
allah splatbar
Coincidence? There is no such thing.
In a mechanistic universe, governed by physical laws, and constrained by cause and effect, yeah - that's probably pretty accurate.
I once betted on red while playing roulette, twice in a row and won both times. Coincidence? I think not.
"Coincidence is the hidden architecture of reality." -Ted Kennedy
I saw Satan fall as lightning from heaven
Three verses later..."...I thank you because you concealed these things from the sophisticated and educated, yet revealed them to ordinary people...."
.
+1Dr. Im sure LaGarde the orange whore could explain all of this with some simple number 7 numerology....
Dang, Allah must have been busy with something else today.
Nothing happens without Allah's permission, so he willed this to happen. Muslims can't complain.
Which takes place...let's see...in five-four-three-two-one...
Jewish lightning?
I heard someone came to close with a box cutter.
It still looks like building #7 fell down faster than that crane.
The Saudis and Israel are Allies. Common enemies, common goals. Notice the Wahabi jihadis Saudi Arabia looses upon the Middle East never attach Israel.. Ever.

This is just a bit too weird after that lil chat w/bigO.
Maybe it's me, but I fail to see how a lightning strike could collapse a crane...
Chances are it scared the bejebbers out of the operator, who pushed/pulled the wrong lever.
Easy peasy..Struck by lightning, crane operator loses erection. Loses hands, soon after in shiria court.
The excuse that his Kodiak construction crane was first damaged by a lightning strike and not metal fatigue worked for Lomma Construction boss James Lomma at his criminal trial.

The irony - on 9/11 of all days. God is apparently not great. Video:

God's away on business.
And the Zionist conspiracy theories start in: 3...2...1
The Jews did this shit man fo sho. (Puts on fedora)
Word on the DL is that they used a modified stuxnet to target the PLCs used by the crane company. A Mossad connected construction guy smuggled in a USB in his thermos of lentil soup.
NO JEWS WERE KILLED IN THE CRANE COLLAPSE!!
who needs suicide bombers when you have crane operations like this É
They all got a text saying, "DO NOT GO TO PRAYERS AT THE MOSQUE TODAY!"
I'm not saying they knew, but it's fishy.
have they spotted ”the 5 dancing jews” yet?
Five Dancing Jews.
I think I saw their act on The Donny and Marie 911 Anniversary Show.
No. Just some guys from the 'We'll Truck You Up!' moving company. They said they were there to document the event and provide "A Truly Moving Experience."
Allah Ahkbar!!

God does have a sense of humor.
There was plenty or warning. Several bearded men were pointing up at the crane, but they just blended in with the crowd. Kind of a boy who cried Allah situation.
.
Crane operator is a dangerous employment choice. A lightning strike could have fried the hydraulics or the electronics. Lots of things go wrong with cranes even in good weather.
Inch'Allah...
i don't think allah is very happy with what's going on .
I'm sure Allah would definitely approve of turning Mecca/Medina into a multi-billion dollar tourist revenue stream that fleeces Hajj pilgrims for 5-10 years of their savings to make the pilgrimage and selling Zam Zam water like its some carnival souvenir.
The Saudi's are building bullet trains to shuttle people in and out of the area along with luxiry hotels turning a sacred region into a holy fuckin circus and resort.
Allah was the one with the idea of A) Coverting the world to Islam. B) Multiplying the population by 12 kids per woman. C)Having everyone visit Mecca at the same time.
Allah willed it.
Really? a crane falls over and manages to bean 80+ people on the head? Sounds like the EPA or the MIC was in charge.
And Kwan Yin is just standing there scowling with her thousand arms folded all like, "Fuckin' Abrahamic religions."
Shiva dancing...
This is clearly the will of Allah.
The google building in Belgium got zapped repeatey couple weeks ago. Look out DC,Langley , ft Meade , bluffdale etc
Inside job. Lighting strikes don't melt steel.
As a friend used to say, science won against religion when people started installing lightning rods on churches...
Nice. I'll have to remember that one.
Oddly enough there are many churches in the south that do not have lightening rods. go figure...
and quite a few of them have white congregations
There are a lot of churches in the south that play with venomus snakes too. go figure....
Obviously the best response is for Saudi Arabia to invade Iraq.
alla is great...! /s
An act of God.
9/11 today.... 9/11 redivivus... saudi version
ALLAH AKBAHR!!!!
TTTIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR
If those people were atheists, they'd be alive today...so much for organized religion...
Karma is a bitch
HA HA HA HA
The crane fell over backwards.
Any hidden meaning in that?
what's even more surreal....watch

Allah is not a happy camper.
Allah works in mysterious ways...
According to my handy-dandy super double secret seasonally adjusted shemitah schedule, false-flags are priced in to this weekend.
What was the local time when this fell?
9:23, why?
It was payback time...just sayin...
Don't those dead folks go directly to paradise? Don't pass Go, don't collect $200.
The Houthi crane company ?
Did anyone spot Ethan Hunt launching the rocket trailing the nanowire?
surely a sign, bad luck omen.....
Chaplain Lindsey Williams has been saying for some time that the elite were very worried about a coming sign of divine intervention. What more definitive act by the True Creator God could there be than to strike a blow at the satanic religion known as Islam ??
Saudi engineers? I doubt it as they hire everyone to work for them.
Until the near future when the men might have to learn to make a fucking pot of tea. Only ones that are more useless are Indians who have their mommies do it all for them.
Clearly god has a plan. Har de har har!
The Bin laden construction firm I'm sure..
Funny that SA just offered to build 200 mosques in Germany. There is no God, smart monkeys, but it's funny.
Well if they weren't on their knees praying, they might of got away... Allah Akbar u fuckers
I wonder what all those muzzies would do if they found out that GOD was a woman.
Athena is a female.
Don't fuck with Thor your stupid goat fuckers.
Good start.
About 35 more crane strikes and we will be close to even.
"allow it to accommodate up to 2.2 million people at once"
What one could do with a small tactical nuke. I'd push the button.
The company in charge was Bin Laden's family so... LOL
