What Caused Mina Saudia Arabia Stampede
Mina Saudi Arabia stampede was caused by 2 large groups of pilgrims who arrived Jamarat together.
They were rushing to get to pass Jamarat bridge for the stoning of the devil at Mount Arafat when the tragedy occurred.
In July 1990, 1426 Muslims were crushed to death in a tunnel near Mecca while heading to perform the Devil Stoning ritual.
