Important context: This was an instance of a crowd crush caused by poor crowd control.

    While not impossible elsewhere. Extremely large crush killings like this happen with alarming regularity at religious events.

      Concerts and sporting events have rules and regulations to prevent this nowadays. Guess who cries “persecution” when you try the same for them.

      Also, a lot of these events are in the poorer countries, where these regulations don’t exist.

      And also because, apparently, god doesn’t want to rescue these people.
