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 ??
When I was stationed in Riyadh as a USAF firefighter, we had to commute ten miles to work, and we were told to not render aid at any accident we witnessed for thirty minutes so that "inshallah" could do its magic.
