"(CNN)—A stampede during one of the last rituals of the Hajj -- the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca -- has killed more than 700 people and injured nearly 900 others in Saudi Arabia.

The stampede occurred Thursday morning during the ritual known as "stoning the devil" in a tent city in Mina, about two miles from the holy site in Mecca, Islam's holiest city.

Footage obtained by CNN Arabic shows a disturbing scene. Bodies piled upon bodies, a few moving, but most appearing lifeless. Workers in hard hats and reflective vests can be seen pulling dead bodies away to get to those who are still alive. "

When I read this, I of course worried sick about my student, Aleen, who left two weeks into the semester to go to Mecca. He came back this week and was telling us he was only like TWO HOURS away from the stampede. That may sound like a long ways away, but it's really not. Two hours is cutting it pretty fucking close. I'm so glad he's okay, man.

It is close.
We were worried about a friend and his wife too, as we'd heard nothing from them for days after the stampede.
They also witnessed the Crane Fall. :(

Alhamdulillah always.
