You’re telling me it’s just some boring cog in the system type failure when literally the show could have been stopped for 37 minutes after it was declare a mass casualty. The whole system can’t get one guy to literally just shut up and get off stage. Not only that but they had Drake do a mini set entirely after that was declared. In a world where I can send you a post instantly that makes sense to you? Okay.
And yeah people get stomped out at Mecca because of fanaticism. The fact that it’s been happening for thousands of years only makes it seem even more fanatic. Creating safe passages out of the Hajj may not be something Muslims are comfortable doing, but if that’s the case then yes their fanaticism transcends their need for safety.
Son, what in God's good name are you on about?
'Early eyewitnesses' accounting stated that the crush was caused by the closure of the eastern part of Street 206, which forced pilgrims to travel up Street 223, colliding with a mass of people moving the opposite direction on Street 204.

Alhaji Samaila Dabai Yombe, Deputy Governor of the Nigerian state of
Kebbi, who was present at the incident, stated that the deaths happened due to a blockage of the route to Jamaraat Bridge. "What actually happened was that all the pilgrims scheduled to
throw Jamrat at that time were channeled to one particular street. At a time we got to a certain point around 8:00am, a military vehicle was set across to create a barrier and then some of the Saudi soldiers were standing by, suggesting that you cannot go beyond that point. [...] About 5,000 people coming from the same direction were not aware of the road block in front, which resulted to a tight and stationary human traffic, which made it very difficult for us to even stand. So, we continued to squat to make room for fresh air while the temperature was about 47 degrees Celsius. [...] Pilgrims, in efforts to get fresh air, attempted to scale fences of tents on both sides of the road. Very few succeeded, while most people just succumb to the situation. It was at this juncture that we saw dead bodies piling up around us".

Ishaq Akintola, a Nigerian Professor of
Islamic eschatology, gave an eyewitness account of the disaster: "on that fateful day, we found out that some of those who had thrown their own stones made a U-turn instead of moving ahead to take a detour. They came through the route meant for entrance and not exit. They came towards us. They were in a very large group and the road was not spacious enough to allow a free flow of those of us coming to throw stones at the Devil and those who had stoned the Devil. The road could not take those coming and those going'
How does this have to do with fanaticism or Muslims refusing to create safe passages out of Mecca? How would that even be justified under Islamic doctrine? Do you think there'a stampede every year during Hajj?
Also, the Astroworld incident happened just over a month ago. Do you really think all of the details have come to a conclusion?
