Must be incredibly hard to keep your faith in your God or religion when people are killed while worshipping.

No i wasnt bashing religion.

 

But the people involved must be thinking what have they done wrong to deserve that......how do the religious leaders explain an incident like that?

 

They will find a way of explaining it. God is great. He wouldn't cause something like this. He must have been distracted by the refugee crisis and failed to see it coming.

Very sad news , even worse that it has happened in Mecca if that is possible . High winds seem to be the cause of this tragic accident .

 

The cause will have been a combination of ignorance, incompetence and greed.

 

Crawler Cranes have clearly defined safety limitations which include their requirement to be lowered in wind and when out-of-service.
