This is horrible. Hopefully it leads to tighter safety checks, but I won't hold my breath...

I'm sure they'll put some fucking ayatollah on it right away.  He'll pray for safety.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Saudi overseers whip that many foreign workers to death every week. This massacre just happened to get on the news.

I feel bad for their families, and the rescuers.

I'd put it all on Allah and Old Fart Beard Muhammad.

Heh, maybe the Saudis have some Zionists in their midst ?

I've heard but have never been convinced it's true, in Saudi Arabia, if someone is injured in an accident, there is no rescue attempt for (pick one) 1/2 hour, 45 minutes, 1 hour, because they are required to wait to ascertain Allah's will in regards to who is going to survive or not.

I'm thinking the high fatality count in a construction zone such as this is indicative of something hinky, but is it possible I am just being hyper critical of the damned Saudi's again ?

I also note it was an 'in house' outfit doing the work (Bin Laden family) so if they are a bunch of fuck ups, who's fault is that ??

Ugh, over 100 victims from a crane! Huge crowds and construction sites just don't mix. I think if it's anything, it's a demonstration of the cynicism of the rich fuckers running that show.

I don't believe that is true. It is true about virtual slaves from 3rd-world countries doing the work though. I wouldn't be surprised if heads literally roll over this.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

There were many stories of the abuse inflicted up the builders of the Burj Kalifa.
