Not much to say about this one: 244 Muslim Pilgrims Die in Hajj Stampede

The stampede, during a peak event of the annual Muslim pilgrimage, or hajj, lasted about a half-hour, Saudi officials said. There were 244 dead and hundreds of other worshippers injured, some critically, Hajj Minister Iyad Madani said.

“All precautions were taken to prevent such an incident, but this is God’s will. Caution isn’t stronger than fate,” Madani said.

Ah, yes, the incomprehensible will of an incomprehensible being. How deep and mysterious.
