The Stampede
Saudi Arabia suffered another tragic event on September 24, 2015. The “2015 Mina Stampede” caused the deaths of more than 2,000 worshippers. It happened when hordes of people went to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj. People continue to debate the reasons the stampede occurred, though most believe it was the result of overcrowding.
