Nope, these mass death events are a regular occurrence due to the Saudi government's incompetence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incidents_during_the_Hajj

Jesus! (Or Isa?) Some of these were like single localised events. I was just thinking about how many people come through without even bringing that into it.

Well, I guess a casual disregard for the life and limb of non-elite non-Saudis is pretty on brand for them.

We're up to 922 according to that link. That's insane.
